Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for mitigating timing delays in positioning with HAPSs and NTNs. One method may include an LMF receiving a look-up table (303) from a NTN, performing an online re-calibration (309), calculating a transparent processing delay (311), and/or transmitting signal assistance data to a UE as part of new assistance data based upon the received look-up table.

Abstract: A UE, connected using a current cell served by a first satellite to a BS, receives information from the BS including assistance information for a cell switch from the current cell to a cell served by a second satellite. The information is received before a stop time indicating when the current cell will stop serving the UE. The UE performs the cell switch from the current cell to the cell served by the second satellite using at least the assistance information to find cell synchronization block(s) for the served by the second satellite. The BS sends the information from the BS including the assistance information for a cell switch from the current cell to a cell served by a second satellite. The BS shuts down the current cell at a stop time.

Abstract: The invention inter alia pertains to an apparatus for communication with a non-terrestrial network, NTN, the apparatus comprising means configured for:



receiving, from the network, a handover configuration regarding a handover to be performed by the apparatus from a source cell to a target cell of the network;
receiving, from the network, assistance information for the apparatus to connect to said target cell; determining, based on the assistance information, a type of the handover or receiving, from the network, an indication of a type of the handover;
determining, based on the handover type, a threshold for a timing advance parameter;
determining, based on the threshold and a value of the timing advance parameter, whether to perform a RACH-less handover towards the target cell.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus in a user equipment, the apparatus comprising including: one or more processors, and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to: perform measurements on signals received from a target network entity, wherein the user equipment is connected to a serving network entity and calculate a variance of the measurements over a time period. The one or more processors, and memory storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to, in response to determining that the calculated variance is above a threshold value, adjust the transmission of a measurement report from the user equipment.
