ESTIMATION OF A COMMUNICATION LINK PARAMETER FOR USE IN A NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267049 titled 'ESTIMATION OF A COMMUNICATION LINK PARAMETER FOR USE IN A NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves estimating a parameter of a communication link, such as Timing Advance, for communication with an orbiting satellite-based access node of a non-terrestrial network.
- Determining the time of reception of a reference signal in the UE at repeated occasions, which is transmitted with a predetermined period from the access node.
- Calculating the value of the parameter based on a position that satisfies a spatial condition for the UE, given by a propagation time difference of the reference signal between said occasions.
- Potential Applications:**
- Communication with orbiting satellite-based access nodes in non-terrestrial networks. - Estimation of parameters for optimizing communication links in non-terrestrial environments.
- Problems Solved:**
- Estimation of parameters for communication links with orbiting satellite-based access nodes. - Spatial condition-based calculation of parameter values for improved communication performance.
- Benefits:**
- Enhanced communication capabilities with non-terrestrial networks. - Improved accuracy in estimating parameters for communication links with orbiting satellites.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method carried out in a UE () for estimation of a parameter of a communication link, such as Timing Advance, for use in communication with an orbiting satellite-based access node () of a non-terrestrial network (). The method comprises determining, at repeated occasions, a time of reception (T) in the UE of a reference signal which is transmitted with a predetermined period (τ) from the access node. A value of the parameter is calculated based on a position () which satisfies a spatial condition for the UE, which spatial condition is given by a propagationtime difference (Δ) of the reference signal between said occasions (T, T).
