METHOD FOR REPORTING UE RX-TX TIME DIFFERENCE AND GNB RX-TX TIME DIFFERENCE FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380545 titled 'METHOD FOR REPORTING UE RX-TX TIME DIFFERENCE AND GNB RX-TX TIME DIFFERENCE FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for reporting a user equipment (UE) time difference in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). The method involves receiving a positioning reference signal (PRS) from a base station, determining timestamps or subframe indices of the PRS in the downlink and the closest subframe of the UE uplink PRS, calculating the UE time difference based on these timestamps, and reporting the sounding reference signal (SRS) to a location management function (LMF) based on the UE time difference.
- Receiving a PRS from a base station in the downlink.
- Determining timestamps or subframe indices of the PRS in the downlink and the closest subframe of the UE uplink PRS.
- Calculating the UE time difference from the reception of the PRS to the transmission of the SRS.
- Reporting the SRS to a location management function based on the UE time difference.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in satellite communication systems to improve the accuracy of location tracking for user equipment. - It can be applied in space-based networks for efficient management of user equipment time differences.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the challenge of accurately reporting UE time differences in non-terrestrial networks. - Enhancing the synchronization and coordination of user equipment in NTN environments.
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in determining UE time differences. - Enhanced performance of location-based services in non-terrestrial networks. - Efficient management of user equipment time synchronization.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced User Equipment Time Difference Reporting in Non-Terrestrial Networks" This technology can be utilized in satellite communication systems, space-based networks, and other non-terrestrial communication environments. It has implications for industries such as aerospace, telecommunications, and IoT.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the efficiency of user equipment time reporting in non-terrestrial networks? 2. What are the key advantages of using this technology in satellite communication systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of reporting a user equipment (ue) time difference in a non-terrestrial network (ntn) is provided, the method includes receiving, from a base station, a positioning reference signal (prs) in downlink (dl); determining a timestamp or subframe indices of the prs in dl and a timestamp or subframe indices of the ue uplink (ul) prs's closest subframe; determining, based on the timestamps or subframe indices, the ue time difference from the reception of the prs to a transmission of a sounding reference signal (srs); and reporting, to a location management function (lmf), the srs based on the ue time difference.
