MANAGEMENT OF EPHEMERIS, TIME, DELAYS, AND TA FOR AN NTN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18069197 titled 'MANAGEMENT OF EPHEMERIS, TIME, DELAYS, AND TA FOR AN NTN

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) environment. The method involves receiving system information, including location coordinates for an NTN gateway, processing delay information between the UE and a base station (BS), and information corresponding to a reference point location. Based on this information, the method determines a timing advance, which represents the timing difference between the reference point location and the BS. Finally, the method transmits a timing advance report based on the determined timing advance.

  • The method operates a user equipment (UE) in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) environment.
  • System information is received, including location coordinates for an NTN gateway, processing delay information between the UE and a base station (BS), and information corresponding to a reference point location.
  • A timing advance is determined based on the timing difference between the reference point location and the BS.
  • A timing advance report is transmitted based on the determined timing advance.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various industries that utilize non-terrestrial networks, such as satellite communication systems, remote sensing, and IoT applications in remote areas.
  • It can be used in scenarios where precise timing synchronization is critical, such as in financial transactions, real-time monitoring, and critical infrastructure management.

Problems Solved

  • The method addresses the challenge of maintaining accurate timing synchronization in a non-terrestrial network environment.
  • It solves the problem of accounting for processing delays between the user equipment and the base station, which can affect the overall timing accuracy.
  • The method also solves the problem of determining the appropriate timing advance based on the reference point location, ensuring reliable communication in the NTN system.

Benefits

  • The method enables precise timing synchronization in non-terrestrial network environments, improving the overall performance and reliability of the system.
  • By accounting for processing delays, it ensures accurate timing synchronization between the user equipment and the base station, reducing communication errors.
  • The method provides a mechanism for reporting the timing advance, allowing for efficient monitoring and optimization of the NTN system.
