Methods for Dynamic Update for Delay and Doppler Variations in Non-Terrestrial Networks
Techniques for dynamic adjustment of the frequency offset and timing advance for a UE in a non-terrestrial (NTN) are described. Details of Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) and Downlink Control Information (DCI) based methods for indicating the timing and/or frequency adjustment commands either separately or jointly in the presence of delay and/or Doppler variations in NTN are provided. A terminal, also known as a user equipment (UE), can use DCI or MAC signaling to update the timing and frequency adjustment in presence of delay and Doppler variations in NTN. Further, a configurable MAC-CE design is provided for indicating commands related to timing and/or frequency adjustment. Procedures are also provided to report, during a random access procedure, the timing and frequency adjustment applied in preamble transmission.
TERMINAL
A terminal receives a master information block and a synchronization signal block from a radio base station, and acquires an offset between the synchronization signal block and a control resource set by using a parameter for quasi co-location derivation included in the master information block. The terminal assumes quasi co-location associated with the synchronization signal block based on the acquired offset.
CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND DATA REDUNDANCY FOR A MESH NETWORK OF USER DEVICES
A hub may receive event data captured by a body-worn device and store the event data in a memory of the hub. The event data is then backed up from the hub to a memory of an additional hub communicatively connected to the hub. A copy of event data for a predetermined period of time as included in the event data is then transferred from the memory of the hub to a data store of a network operations center (NOC). In response to the transfer being complete, the hub may delete the event data for the predetermined period of time, send a first command to the additional hub directing the additional hub to delete a backup of the event data for the predetermined period of time, or send a second command to the body-worn device directing the body-worn device to delete the event data for the predetermined period of time.
Relative timing drift correction for distributed multi-user transmissions
This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, and computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for relative timing drift correction for distributed multi-user transmissions. In one aspect, a first access point (AP) may receive a first signal from a second AP. The first signal may be associated with a channel sounding procedure to be performed substantially simultaneously by the second AP and the first AP. The first AP may then receive a second signal from the second AP, and prior to a substantially simultaneous transmission by the second AP and the first AP. The second signal may include timing information relative to the first signal. The first AP may determine a start time of the substantially simultaneous transmission at the first AP based on the timing information, and may initiate the substantially simultaneous transmission according to the determined start time.
ADVANCED FREQUENCY SYNCHRONIZATION IN A MOBILE INTEGRATED ACCESS BACKHAUL DEPLOYMENT
Implementations of advanced frequency synchronization in a mobile integrated access backhaul deployment are disclosed. An apparatus includes at least one processor, and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: estimate a change in a propagation delay at two time instants, measure a time period of the two time instants using a local clock of a network node, wherein the two time instants correspond to a known timing of a received signal, subtract the change of the propagation delay from the measured time period, calculate a difference between the subtracted time period and a known timing of the received signal; and convert the difference to a frequency offset value to synchronize downlink transmission frequency between the network node and a parent node.
MOBILE DEVICE FREQUENCY OFFSET DETERMINATION AND TDoA LOCALIZATION
A method of estimating a clock frequency offset in a mobile device relative to a clock frequency of a controller within a UWB network comprises (a) determining, for each of a plurality of anchors, an anchor clock frequency offset relative to the controller clock frequency, (b) broadcasting an anchor data packet from each anchor, the anchor data packet including the respective anchor clock frequency offset, (c) receiving at least one anchor data packet at the mobile device, (d) estimating a mobile device clock frequency offset relative to the anchor clock frequency of the anchor from which the at least one anchor data packet was received, and (e) estimating the clock frequency offset in the mobile device based on the estimated mobile device clock frequency offset and the anchor clock frequency offset included in the at least one received anchor data packet. Furthermore, a TDoA-based localization method and a TDoA-based localization system are described.

The method includes: determining a change rate of a Doppler frequency shift value based on a weighted change rate of a change rate of a timing advance TA, determining the Doppler frequency shift value based on the change rate of the Doppler frequency shift value, and performing frequency compensation based on the determined Doppler frequency shift value; or determining a frequency offset value based on the Doppler frequency shift value with reference to pre-compensation and based on a reference signal, to further determine a frequency offset value, and performing frequency compensation based on the frequency offset value.
Phase continuity indication
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first device may receive a grant that schedules a wireless communication between the first device and a second device. The grant may indicate a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration for a set of symbols associated with the wireless communication. The first device may receive control signaling that indicates a phase discontinuity associated with a first subset of symbols of the set of symbols. The first device may receive the wireless communication during a second subset of symbols of the set of symbols based on the DMRS configuration and the indication of the phase discontinuity. The first device may perform channel estimation based on receiving the wireless communication during the second subset of symbols.

WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK FULL-DUPLEX ENHANCEMENTS FOR SCENARIOS WITH MULTIPLE ACCESS-POINTS / BSS
Full-duplex (FD) enhancements for three scenarios with multiple APs/BSSs. (1) Multiple-AP joint transmissions on a WLAN. Toward eliminating self-interferences and other issues, certain pilot signals in the PPDU are transmitted only by the primary AP. One or more secondary APs participating in the joint transmission receive the pilots to correct their clock in the following symbols. (2) Communications are performed with extended OFDM symbols sent on a second channel which facilitate NAV decoding for stations transmitting on a first channel. (3) More than one AP can perform a joint Ack/BA to a UL PPDU. The secondary AP may utilize its full duplex capability to determine the difference of receiving status between itself and the primary AP, and forward data to the primary which it had not received.
