NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18306150 titled 'NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain a first value associated with transmitting an uplink communication that corresponds to a downlink communication received in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). The UE may compare the first value to a second value. The UE may selectively transmit the uplink communication, or selectively process the downlink communication, based at least in part on a result of comparing the first value to the second value. Numerous other aspects are described.
- User equipment (UE) can obtain a first value related to transmitting an uplink communication corresponding to a downlink communication received in a non-terrestrial network (NTN).
- The UE compares the first value to a second value and selectively transmits the uplink communication or processes the downlink communication based on the comparison result.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Satellite communication systems
- Remote sensing applications
- IoT devices in remote locations
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Efficient utilization of network resources
- Seamless communication in non-terrestrial networks
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved communication reliability
- Enhanced network performance
- Optimal resource allocation
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
