    摘要: Solutions pertaining to enhanced support for transmit-receive (Tx-Rx) gap in non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications are proposed. An apparatus implemented in a UE receives from a non-terrestrial (NT) network node of a network an uplink (UL) grant or a configuration that schedules an UL transmission (Tx). The apparatus performs the UL transmission to the NT network node within a transmit-receive (Tx-Rx) transition gap during which no downlink (DL) Tx from the NT network node is expected. The Tx-Rx transition gap includes an UL Tx duration, a pre-UL Tx gap (Gap_start) before a starting time of the UL Tx duration (t_start), and a post-UL Tx gap (Gap_end) after an ending time of the UL Tx duration (t_end). A starting timing of the Tx-Rx transition gap can be expressed as: t_start−timing advance (TA)−Gap_start. An ending time of the Tx-Rx transition gap can be expressed as: t_end−TA+Gap_end.
