Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate a connection release message via a first beam to release a connection between the UE and a network entity. The UE may obtain an indication associated with a second beam of a non-terrestrial network entity indicating a set of one or more beams associated with a paging early indication. The UE may monitor for the PEI paging message based on whether the first beam is included in the set of one or more beams. Alternatively, the UE may skip monitoring for the PEI based on the first beam being excluded from the set of one or more beams, and the UE may monitor for a paging message during a paging occasion. In some examples, the UE may receive a message indicating the set of one or more beams from the non-terrestrial network entity.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a non-terrestrial network (NTN) entity, a message that is associated with an uplink grant. The UE may select, based at least in part on the message, either a cell-specific offset or an updated offset that is indicated after initial access, as a timing offset that accounts for a propagation delay between a base station of the NTN and the UE. The UE may transmit, to the NTN entity, an uplink communication using the timing offset. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device may use enhanced techniques for determining whether a transmission is scheduled to include new data when a mode for reporting acknowledgment feedback is disabled for one or more hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes used by the receiving device. An enhanced technique may include increasing a quantity of bits used to convey an indication of whether a scheduled data transmission includes new data. An enhanced technique may include monitoring a duration between transmissions scheduled by different control messages based on a timing parameter that indicates a maximum time between transmissions of a data set and corresponding transmission including the data set.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support mobility between a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell and a terrestrial network (TN) cell. If the UE is connected to an NTN cell, the UE may determine timing for a neighboring TN cell using a reference timestamp. A first network entity supporting the NTN cell may request the reference timestamp from a second network entity supporting the TN cell. The second network entity may output the timestamp in response to the request. The first network entity may obtain the timestamp and output an indication of the timestamp to the UE in a measurement gap configuration. The UE may use the reference timestamp to determine timing for a measurement gap and may monitor for a signal (e.g., a synchronization signal) from the second network entity supporting the TN cell during the measurement gap.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) calculates a propagation delay for sending a message from the UE to a network node, such as a base station, via non-terrestrial communications. The method sends a random access preamble to the base station while accounting for the calculated propagation delay. The method starts a random access response (RAR) window at a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) occasion after twice the calculated propagation delay from sending the random access preamble. The method receives a random access response (RAR) message from the base station during the RAR window. The RAR message includes an uplink grant indicating an uplink shared channel resource. Further, the method sends an uplink message to arrive during the uplink shared channel resource while accounting for the calculated propagation delay.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Described techniques provide for mitigating error in time or frequency adjustments for preambles of a random access procedure. A user equipment may use one value for the adjustment when transmitting data to a non-terrestrial network, but then transmit the preamble of a random access procedure according to a preamble-specific time or frequency adjustment based on one or more indications received from the network (e.g., rather than resetting the adjustment to “0”). By using some signaled value for the preamble-specific timing or frequency adjustment rather than resetting the adjustment to “0,” preamble reception performance may be maintained or improved with as many or fewer position measurements for the UE or non-terrestrial network entity.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a differential UE-specific timing advance (TA) based at least in part on a difference between a first UE-specific TA associated with a current global navigation satellite system (GNSS) position fix and a second UE-specific TA associated with a previous GNSS position fix. The UE may transmit, to a non-terrestrial network (NTN) node, an uplink message at a time that is based at least in part on the differential UE-specific TA. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which UEs may communicate with satellites and base stations or gateways in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). Due to the large distances between transmitting devices and receiving devices in a NTN, timing adjustments to account for propagation delay communications links via a satellite may include a propagation delay between a UE and a satellite, a propagation delay between a base station and a satellite, as well as a variation in the propagation delays due to movement of the satellite. In accordance with various techniques discussed herein, a UE may account for variation in propagation delay, in addition to determined propagation delay, when determining an uplink timing for uplink communications via a satellite.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a time period during which the UE is configured to receive grants scheduling communications for the UE, wherein the grants are associated with a first grant format type. The UE may determine that the grants include a feedback process identifier exceeding a threshold value. The UE may maintain a power saving state of a discontinuous reception procedure for a feedback process associated with the feedback process identifier during the time period based at least in part on the feedback process identifier exceeding the threshold value.
