  • Publication number: 20260353326
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can operate as an in-flight airplane communicatively coupled to air to ground (ATG) network. The UE can process an indication that enables or not enables a transmit timing difference between base stations on a same frequency carrier. A propagation delay difference between cells of base stations is based on a location of the UE and a base station location from an air to ground (ATG) network, based on a derivation according to a system frame number (SFN) and a timing difference (SFTD), or based on an indication by the ATG network. A total time difference can be determined based on the transmit timing difference and the propagation delay difference, and whether the total time difference satisfies a predefined threshold for determining the UE behavior for cell phase timing misalignment handling.

  • Publication number: 20260353201
    Abstract: Techniques for enabling enhanced air-to-ground (ATG) handover procedures for high-velocity user equipment (UEs), such as an airplane, jet, drone, etc. A UE or a serving base station may make a handover decision based on distances between the UE and the serving base stations and a target base station. In some scenarios, the UE or serving base station may make a handover decision based on a UE flight path, including changes in the UE flight path, or the UE reaching a flight path checkpoint (e.g., a location identified along the flightpath). In some scenarios, the serving base station may make a handover decision based on a distance report from the UE, or the UE may make the handover decision based on a signal strength and/or quality from a target base station. Additional details and examples of these and many other features and techniques are described herein.

  • Publication number: 20260343529
    Abstract: Systems and methods for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing time enhancement to support uplink (UL) transmit (Tx) switching are described. In some embodiments, a PDSCH processing time, Tproc,1, is determined using an UL Tx switch processing time, Tswitch, corresponding to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation time, Tproc,2, used at a UE. In some embodiments, a Tproc,1 is determined using a PDSCH UL Tx switch processing time, Tswitch,PDSCH, that is determined using a T switch corresponding to a Tproc,2 used at a UE. In some embodiments, a Tproc,2 is compared to a time between an end of a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a PDSCH and a beginning of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) having hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) signaling for a PDSCH to determine treatment of the PUCCH. In some embodiments, a d1,1 component of Tproc,1 is relaxed based on a Tswitch.
