Abstract:
The present disclosure discusses devices, methods, and systems for improving signaling. This can occur, according to some implementations, by increasing a power of at least one signaling channel if errors on the signaling channel occur, comprising tracking quality of the at least one signaling channel, determining whether the at least one signaling channel has an error rate that is above a threshold, and increasing power to the at least one signaling channel if the error rate is above the threshold. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may select, while operating using a first beam corresponding to a cell, a second beam corresponding to the cell based at least in part on a set of beam information associated with the second beam, wherein a first narrowband is associated with the first beam and a second narrowband is associated with the second beam. The UE may communicate with a wireless communication device that provides the cell using the second beam. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may collect one or more paging metrics for a first paging carrier over a plurality of paging occasions in a collection period. The UE may communicate with a base station to switch from the first paging carrier to a second paging carrier based at least in part on the one or more paging metrics for the first paging carrier. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. that support preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) in wireless communications. A base station may communicate that support for PUR is available, and may allocate PUR resources to a user equipment (UE) based on requests from the UE. The UE may receive an indication that the base station supports PUR, such as via a system information block (SIB), determine to request PUR, and transmit a PUR request message to the base station. A PUR response from the base station may indicate configuration, or reconfiguration of PUR allocation for the UE that may be used for uplink transmissions, or release of the PUR allocation.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for GNSS validity reporting in NTNs. A UE may transmit, to a network entity, a report of a validity duration for GNSS tracking information. The GNSS tracking information may be associated with an NTN including the UE and the network entity. The report may include an indication of a remaining time period of the validity duration based on a threshold. The UE may switch to an RRC idle mode based on the report of the validity duration. The RRC idle mode may be switched to after an expiration of the remaining time period of the validity duration or based on an RRC release message received from the network entity.
Abstract:
An apparatus for wireless communications includes a processor, and a memory coupled with the processor and storing instructions operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to output a pre-configured uplink resource (PUR) configuration information comprising a least significant bit (LSB) associated with a hyper system frame number (H-SFN). Execution of the instructions further cause the apparatus to obtain, from a user equipment (UE) at a PUR start time, a first message on a PUR associated with the PUR configuration information, the PUR start time associated with the H-SFN corresponding to the LSB.
Abstract:
A UE may include IoT NTN device, and the UE may acquire the GNSS location to perform the time/frequency pre-compensation. A NAS layer of the UE may initiate a connection request procedure based on the GNSS fix procedure at one or more lower layer of the UE. A network may transmit a paging request to the UE, and manage a paging response timer based on the GNSS fix procedure at the UE.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication includes validating a PUR configuration in a NTN based on location-related information associated with a satellite. For example, a UE may determine, based on location-related information of a satellite in a non-terrestrial network, whether a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) configuration is valid. The UE may also transmit, to a base station (BS) via the satellite in response to determining that the PUR configuration is valid, a communication signal in a PUR. For example, the UE may determine, based on the location-related information associated with the satellite, if the parameter satisfies the threshold, and transmit UL data in a PUR occasion based on the determined parameter satisfying the threshold.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may start a timer after a repetition of a communication, where calculation of a length of the timer includes an offset that corresponds to a propagation delay between the UE and a base station via a non-terrestrial network (NTN) entity. The UE may start a discontinuous reception (DRX) retransmission timer after expiration of the timer. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
A user equipment may be configured to perform cell reselection during a gateway and/or satellite switch. In some aspects, the user equipment may select a current cell of a satellite device in a radio access network (RAN) and receive, from the satellite device, cell reselection information for identifying a destination cell for selection in response to a link modification. Further, the user equipment may select, via a cell reselection process, the destination cell based on the cell reselection information.
