COMMUNICATING TIMING INFORMATION VIA SYSTEM INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17899432 titled 'COMMUNICATING TIMING INFORMATION VIA SYSTEM INFORMATION
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in the patent application. A user equipment (UE) can transmit an uplink trigger (ULT) message to request a network entity to send a system information message containing timing information for the UE. Upon receiving the ULT message, the UE can receive the system information message which includes a timing advance (TA) command specific to the UE. The system information message may also indicate that the TA command is applicable to a group of UEs, including the UE and other UEs, or it may include multiple TA commands for different UEs. The UE can then communicate with the network entity based on the timing specified by the TA command received.
- User equipment (UE) can send an uplink trigger (ULT) message to request timing information from a network entity.
- The network entity responds with a system information message containing a timing advance (TA) command for the UE.
- The system information message may apply the TA command to a group of UEs or include multiple TA commands for different UEs.
- The UE adjusts its communication timing based on the TA command received.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved
- Efficient timing synchronization in wireless communication systems
- Improved coordination among multiple UEs in a network
Benefits
- Enhanced reliability of wireless communication
- Optimal utilization of network resources
- Reduced interference and improved network performance
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit an uplink trigger (ULT) message that indicates a request for a network entity to transmit a system information message including timing information for the UE. In response to the ULT message, the UE may receive the system information message indicating a timing advance (TA) command applicable to the UE. In some examples, the system information message may indicate that the TA command is applicable to a group of UEs that include the UE and one or more additional UEs. In some other examples, the system information message may indicate the TA command and a set of one or more additional TA commands, each applicable to a respective additional UE. The UE may communicate with the network entity according to a timing based on the TA command received via the system information message.
