CONFIGURABLE TIMING ADVANCE COMMAND GRANULARITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18170486 titled 'CONFIGURABLE TIMING ADVANCE COMMAND GRANULARITY
The abstract describes a patent application where a user equipment (UE) transmits a message indicating a timing advance command (TAC) granularity to a network node. The network node then sends a message with a TAC configuration based on this indication to the UE, which in turn transmits a message and receives the TAC. The innovation involves the communication and synchronization between the UE and the network node, particularly in non-terrestrial environments like satellites or low-Earth orbit devices.
- User equipment (UE) transmits a message with a timing advance command (TAC) granularity indication.
- Network node receives the message and sends a TAC configuration message back to the UE.
- UE receives the TAC configuration and transmits a message based on it.
- Network node receives the message from the UE.
- Innovation focuses on communication and synchronization in non-terrestrial environments.
- Specifically designed for satellites or low-Earth orbit devices.
Potential Applications: - Satellite communication systems - Low-Earth orbit device networks - Remote sensing applications
Problems Solved: - Improved synchronization between user equipment and network nodes in non-terrestrial environments - Enhanced communication reliability in space-based systems

Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) may transmit a first message comprising a first indication associated with a timing advance command (TAC) granularity. A network node may receive the first message. The network node may transmit a second message comprising a TAC configuration associated with the TAC granularity based on the first indication. The network node may transmit the second message in response to receiving the first message. The UE may receive the second message. The network node may transmit a TAC. The UE may receive the TAC. The UE may transmit a third message based on the TAC configuration. The UE may transmit the third message in response to receiving the TAC. The network node may receive the third message. The network node may be a non-terrestrial network node, such as a satellite or a low-Earth orbit device.
