  • Patent number: 12701523
    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein may better ensure proper timing and synchronization of transmissions within a wireless communications network that includes a terrestrial network and a non-terrestrial network (NTN). A user equipment (UE) may maintain (e.g., determine and update on an ongoing basis) a timing advance (TA) value that the UE may apply to uplink (UL) transmissions to account for propagation delays, including changes in propagation delays, between the UE, NTN, and terrestrial network. TA maintenance may be based on network broadcasts, random access channel (RACH) procedures, control messages, timing drift rates (e.g., of the UE or NTN satellite), beam switching, and more.

  • Patent number: 12695583
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide multiple cell activation. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a wireless network, a command to activate multiple cells simultaneously. In response, the UE initiates cell activation procedures for the multiple cells. The cell activation procedures include waiting for an active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) indication. The UE monitors for the active TCI indication on any of the multiple cells. In response to receiving the active TCI indication on a first cell of the multiple cells, the UE determines one or more second cells of the multiple cells that share a same spatial relationship with the first cell according to one or more predetermined rule, and autonomously continues the cell activation procedures for the first cell and the one or more second cells.
