Timing advance (TA) handling for sidelink (SL)-assisted positioning of a first user equipment (UE), comprises determining the first UE is configured to transmit an SL positioning reference signal (SL-PRS) to a second UE for the SL-assisted positioning. A guard period length can be determined based on a configuration of the first UE for transmitting the SL-PRS, where the guard period may comprise a period of time during which the SL-PRS is transmitted by the first UE. A message can be sent to a serving transmission reception point (TRP) of the first UE, where the message indicates the guard period and comprises a TA-related request. The TA-related request includes a request to postpone applying a TA command received by the first UE until after the guard period, or a request for the serving TRP not to send a TA command to the first UE during the guard period

A method and system for determining inroute frame timing for a Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) includes receiving an appointment to transmit, on an inroute, at a start of a slot X of a frame number M; establishing, at a VSAT, an arrival time of a super frame numbering packet (SFNP) including a satellite ephemeris vector and a frame number N; calculating, at the VSAT, a timing offset (T.sub.RO) to be applied to the arrival time to compensate for a time varying gateway-satellite-terminal propagation delay (T.sub.HS+T.sub.SR); setting a transmit instant as an end of the T.sub.RO after the arrival time; adding to the transmit instant a duration of X slots and a duration of (M−N) frames; and transmitting a burst, on the inroute from the VSAT, at the transmit instant. In the method, the calculating is based on computing T.sub.HS+T.sub.SR from the satellite ephemeris vector, a gateway transmits the SFNP and receives the burst in the slot X within the frame number M of the inroute, and N is greater than or equal to M. A method and system for using ephemeris data for inroute timing is disclosed.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a wireless data transmission method, including: obtaining a repetition quantity required for data transmission of each user equipment (UE) in a management range, and determining a round trip time (RTT) of the UE according to obtained repetition quantity information of the UE, process quantity information of the UE, and a transmission time interval (TTI). A repetition quantity required by a UE may be learned of by using repetition quantity information of the UE. Therefore, for a coverage capability of each UE, each RTT can include as few processes as possible, provided that a requirement of the UE for a repetition quantity is met. In this way, a probability of successful data decoding may be efficiently improved, thereby efficiently improving a coverage capability of UE in wireless communication.

The method includes: A terminal device receives first time information broadcast by a first cell, and receives second time information broadcast by a neighbor cell; and obtains a TA from the terminal device to the neighbor cell based on the following information: a time point indicated by the first time information, a TA from the terminal device to the first cell, a time difference between receiving of the first time information and receiving of the second time information, and a time point indicated by the second time information. According to the solution provided in this application, the TA from the terminal device to the neighbor cell may be obtained, so that the solution may be applied to a scenario in which the TA from the terminal device to the neighbor cell needs to be obtained.

Various examples pertaining to extremely-high-throughput (EHT) error recovery in synchronous multiple-frame transmission in wireless communications are described. A multi-link device (MLD) detects a failure related to either or both of a first frame exchange sequence on a first link or a second frame exchange sequence on a second link. In response to the detecting, the MLD adjusts a timing of either or both of a first subsequent transmission on the first link and a second subsequent transmission on the second link to align the first and second subsequent transmissions.

A software-defined radio system has a plurality of fixed radio receivers each operable to receive radio signals in a receiving band, to sample a received radio signal to produce a sample stream, and to send the sample stream over a network. The radio system includes at least one fixed sync signal transmitter operable to transmit predetermined sync signals in said receiving band to receivers of the aforementioned plurality. The radio system further comprises a data processing system which is connected to the network for receiving sample streams from the receivers. The data processing system is operable to align samples of a data signal contained in sample streams from different receivers by: detecting a sync signal in those sample streams; determining a timing offset between samples of the sync signal in those sample streams in dependence on predetermined locations of the different receivers and the transmitter of that sync signal; and aligning the samples of the data signal in dependence on the timing offset.

A method for adjusting transmission time, applied to any one of receiving ends in a sidelink multicast communication, includes starting transmitting a physical sidelink feedback channel at a first timing before a synchronization reference timing and separated from the synchronization reference timing by a first time offset.
