Abstract: Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) may establish uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) radio frame timing structures to efficiently account for propagation delay and propagation delay variation associated with communications in the NTN. NTNs may manage (synchronize) radio frame timing structures of base stations (e.g., satellites) and user equipment (UEs) in the NTN. Further, UEs may determine timing advance (TA) values to be applied to UL transmissions based on their respective scheduling offset (e.g., offset in UL and DL radio frame timing structures), as well as based on propagation delay or round trip time (RTT). As such, served UEs may determine UL timing such that UL transmissions from the UEs to a satellite arrives at the satellite in a time synchronized manner. In other cases, a satellite may determine UL timing, based on reception timing, such that various UEs in the NTN may implement uniform UL and DL radio frame timing structures.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station by initiating a random access procedure with a two-root preamble. The UE may receive, from the base station, control signaling that indicates a set of root preamble sequences. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a preamble signal that is generated based on a first root preamble sequence and a second root preamble sequence of the set of root preamble sequences. The UE may then monitor for a preamble response based on the preamble signal. In some cases, the base station may be a base station in a terrestrial network. In other cases, the base station may be a satellite in a non-terrestrial network (NTN).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently determining appropriate uplink frequencies for uplink transmissions to a satellite. As described herein, a wireless communications system may support a closed loop frequency correction scheme where a satellite may provide an uplink frequency correction to a user equipment (UE) such that the UE may be able to identify an appropriate uplink frequency for an uplink transmission. In some implementations, the UE may first transmit an uplink signal to the satellite on an initial uplink frequency, and the satellite may determine a corrected uplink frequency for the UE based on the initial uplink frequency. The satellite may then transmit an indication of the corrected uplink frequency to the UE, and the UE may transmit a second uplink signal based on the corrected uplink frequency.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that support upstream timing control mechanisms for non-terrestrial networks are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for wireless communications from a user equipment (UE) in wireless communication with a satellite. A gateway in the non-terrestrial networks may receive an upstream transmission from the UE in wireless communication with the satellite and determine a timing adjustment for a second upstream transmission from the UE based on the upstream transmission from the UE. The gateway may then transmit to the UE in a group control information message or a dedicated physical channel message, a timing command indicating the timing adjustment for the second upstream transmission. The UE may receive the second timing adjustment and transmit data over the second upstream transmission using the second timing adjustment.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to allocating control signaling resources for multiple carrier scenarios. In an example implementation, N-to-1 mapping is used between forward link control signaling resource allocation indices (e.g., control channel elements) and return link control signaling resources (e.g., for ACK/NACK signaling) indices in each return link component carrier. A collision between forward link control signaling assignments for different user terminals (UTs) may occur when UT-specific search spaces overlap each other. Such a collision may be avoided, for example, by scheduling different UTs on different return link component carriers, scheduling return link grants instead of forward link grants, or scheduling a different forward link control signaling candidate that is associated with a different forward link control signaling resource allocation index.

Abstract: Techniques are described for supporting user equipment (UE) positioning in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). To allow calculating a position/location of a UE based on reference signal (RS) measurements to and from one satellite (or a terrestrial base station), a device may be configured to calculate a doppler measurement and a range measurement and report such measurements to be used by a location server to calculate a UE position. An example device may receive a first RS (with the first RS being one of a positioning reference signal (PRS) or a sounding reference signal (SRS)), receive a second RS associated with the first RS, calculate a doppler measurement based on one or both of the first RS or the second RS, and report the doppler measurement. The doppler measurement (such as a measured frequency offset) may be used by a location server to calculate a UE position on the earth surface.

Abstract: An apparatus, e.g., a UE, for transmission of information modulated onto RSs using index modulation is disclosed. The UE may receive, from a base station, a configuration of one or more RS resources of an RS resource set. The one or more RS resources may be associated with an index modulation technique including a plurality of UL or DL information bits. The UE may transmit, to the base station, or receive, from the base station, the plurality of UL or DL information bits. The plurality of UL or DL information bits may include at least one of one or more first bits or one or more second bits. At least one of the one or more RS resources may be selected based on at least one of the one or more first bits or the one or more second bits.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain updated location information, and determine a time difference between a previous communication with a network and a scheduled uplink transmission. Based on the determined time difference, the UE may determine a timing advance (TA) component of a TA value to apply for the uplink transmission, and transmit an uplink message in the uplink transmission according to the determined TA value and the location information. In some examples, the time difference may be based on a first duration between the uplink transmission and a previous uplink transmission, a second duration between the uplink transmission and a previous TA command received from the network, or both. In some examples, the determined TA value may be based on additional parameters, such as an autonomous adjustment step, an aggregate adjustment rate, a scaling factor, or any combination thereof.

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: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing feedback. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network node, a configuration of a search space comprising time and frequency resources available to the network node for communicating a downlink control channel, the configuration indicating a feedback process type corresponding to the search space. The UE may also receive, from the network node, the downlink control channel in the search space. The UE may also receive a downlink transmission scheduled by the downlink control channel. The UE may selectively provide feedback to the network node regarding decoding of the downlink transmission according to the feedback process type corresponding to the search space.
