QUASI CO-LOCATION VARIANTS FOR SINGLE FREQUENCY NETWORK DEPLOYMENTS
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first indication that one or more reference signals correspond to multiple beam configurations. The UE may be configurated to communicate with multiple transmission reception points. The UE may receive a second indication of a first quasi co-location (QCL) type and a second QCL type based on receiving the first indication. The first QCL type may be associated with a first beam configuration corresponding to a first transmission reception point, and the second QCL type may be associated with a second beam configuration corresponding to a second transmission reception point. The UE may determine whether the multiple transmission reception points are using a pre-compensation scheme based on the first and second QCL types. The UE may receive one or more reference signals from the multiple transmission reception points based on the determining.
DOPPLER COMPENSATION CAPABILITY SIGNALING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which user equipment (UE) may provide a capability indication to one or multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) that indicates whether the UE is capable of performing Doppler pre-compensation. One or more of the TRPs may transmit configuration information to the UE to configure Doppler pre-compensation for subsequent communications. The UE may indicate that multiple Doppler shifts for a single communication with multiple TRPs is supported, or that a single Doppler shift or no Doppler shift is supported. The UE, when Doppler pre-compensation is supported and configured, may estimate one or more Doppler metrics (e.g., a Doppler shift, a maximum Doppler spread, or both) for one or multiple TRPs based on one or more reference signals from the TRPs, and may transmit one or more uplink communications based on the estimated Doppler metrics.

Ultra-Lean Localization and Doppler Procedures for 5G and 6G
5G and especially 6G are intended to accommodate high-speed mobile user devices and access points such as wireless devices on trains and airplanes, while retaining enhanced mobile broadband eMBB service. Therefore, new resource-efficient, low-complexity procedures are needed for measuring and correcting the Doppler frequency shift. To assist user devices, a base station or access point can periodically broadcast a current geographical location of the base station or access point in a localization message. In some embodiments, the geographical location data can be included in a periodically broadcast system information message, such as unused space of a SSB (synchronization signal block) message or an SIB1 (first system information block) message. User devices can then determine a vector toward the base station or access point relative to the user device location and velocity, and thereby calculate a Doppler correction without a frequency scan or other overhead, according to some embodiments.

Selection, diversity combining or satellite MIMO to mitigate scintillation and/or near-terrestrial multipath to user devices
A ground station processes downlink signals received from respective satellites. The ground station has a plurality of signal conditioning devices each receiving a respective one of the downlink signals and providing a conditioned downlink signal. A plurality of Doppler and/or Delay compensator devices each receive a respective conditioned downlink signal from a respective one of the plurality of signal conditioning devices. The compensator devices conduct Doppler and/or Delay compensation on the received conditioned downlink signal, and provide a compensated downlink signal output. A selector or diversity combiner receives the compensated downlink signal from each of the plurality of Doppler and/or Delay compensators. The selector or diversity combiner selects one of the received compensated downlink signals based on received signal strength of each received compensated downlink signal to provide a selected downlink signal, or diversity combines all of the received compensated downlink signals to provide a diversity combined signal. The selector or diversity combiner provides the selected downlink signal or the diversity combined signal to an eNodeB.
