    摘要: Apparatus and method for communication in non-terrestrial networks are provided. Downlink transmissions are received (400) from one or more non-terrestrial nodes. Signal strengths and/or signal quality of the transmissions are measured (402) from the one or more non-terrestrial nodes. Transitions between line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states regarding the one or more non-terrestrial nodes are determined (404). Locations of the one or more non-terrestrial nodes and the apparatus are determined (406) and elevation and azimuth angles to the one or more non-terrestrial nodes from the apparatus are calculated (408). A database of the line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states is generated (410) as a function of elevation and azimuth angles and apparatus location and utilised (412) to determine expected line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight states for non-terrestrial nodes.

    摘要: This document discloses a solution for performing a random access procedure. According to an aspect, a method for a terminal device comprises: receiving, from an access node, system information comprising a first random access configuration and at least a second random access configuration; determining, whether a link loss between the terminal device and the access node is increasing or decreasing; if the link loss is determined to decrease, selecting the first random access configuration and performing the random access with the access node by using the first random access configuration; and if the link loss is determined to increase, selecting the second random access configuration and performing random access with the access node by using the second random access configuration.

    摘要: A method may include sending, by a user equipment, a random access preamble message to a network element. The method may also include receiving an uplink grant in a random access response message in response to the random access preamble message. The method may further include adding an implicit timing advance offset to an uplink time domain resource allocation of the uplink grant to establish synchronization of radio transmissions between the user equipment and the network element. The method may also include transmitting a scheduled transmission message including the implicit timing advance offset to the network element. Further, the implicit timing advance offset may be added to the uplink time domain resource before the scheduled transmission message is transmitted.

    摘要: This document discloses a solution for providing a terminal device with one or more candidate cells for link setup. A network node providing the candidate cell(s) may compute a validity window for each candidate cell and indicate the validity window(s) to the terminal device. The terminal device may then perform the link setup with a candidate cell within the respective

    摘要: A method includes receiving, from a base station, network signaling including information about one or more of a timing advance scaling parameter, a processing-delay compensation parameter, and a timing advance extension parameters enabling threshold/condition; receiving a timing advance index from the base station; adjusting parameters for uplink transmissions using the received timing advance index for the one or more of the timing advance scaling parameter, the processing-delay compensation parameter, and the timing advance extension parameters enabling threshold/condition; and performing uplink transmissions according to the configured and adjusted parameters. Another method includes sending, to a user equipment, network signaling including information about one or more of a timing advance scaling parameter, a processing-delay compensation parameter, and a timing advance extension parameters enabling threshold/condition; sending a timing advance index to the user equipment; and receiving uplink transmissions according to the configured and adjusted parameters.

    摘要: Various communication systems may benefit from improved network access. For example, communication systems may benefit from deriving a radio network temporary identification at both a user equipment and a base station, without requiring additional uplink signaling. A method, in certain embodiments, may include sending a short identification from a user equipment to a base station during a contention based access instance. The short identification is generated based on an initial cell radio network temporary identification. The method may also include receiving at the user equipment a user equipment radio network temporary identification from the base station. The user equipment radio network temporary identification is based on the short identification. In addition, the method may include generating at the user equipment a subsequent cell radio network temporary identification based at least on the short identification and the received user equipment radio network temporary identification.
