Techniques are provided for informing a network of a timing source outage in a node and reestablishing a synchronized time in the node. An example method for providing a timing source outage notification includes detecting an outage of a timing source, determining one or more impacted nodes, generating one or more notification messages based at least in part on a communication context for each of the one or more impacted nodes, and transmitting the one or more notification messages.

The same or similar physical signals can be used for both user equipment (UE) and an integrated access backhaul (IAB) node. Different configurations of resources and/or transmission periods of the signals can be used for initial access for access UEs and IAB nodes. In addition, since the UE functionality for IAB nodes is not fully identical with access UEs, the network can identify which UEs performing initial access are normal access UEs or are IAB nodes with UE functionality. Furthermore, the parameters for configuring radio resource management operation at the IAB node gNode B function can consider a half-duplex constraint imposed by the UE function and can also analyze hop order and other topology/route management functionalities.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for dynamically estimating a propagation time between a first node and a second node of a wireless network are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by the second node, from the first node a packet containing a first timestamp representing the transmit time of the packet, receiving, by the second node, from a local time source, a second timestamp corresponding with a time of reception of the first timestamp received from the first node, calculating a time difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, storing the time difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, calculating a predictive model for predicting the propagation time based the time difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp, and estimating the propagation time between the first node and the second node at a time by querying the predictive model with the time.

A wireless communication method includes: performing, by a terminal device, a related operation used for propagation delay compensation (PDC) in response to that a first PDC execution condition is satisfied.

This application provides a physical broadcast channel sending/receiving method and an apparatus. In the method, after receiving two broadcast channel signals on two corresponding physical broadcast channels at two time-frequency resource locations, the terminal device determines that information other than an offset of a corresponding time-frequency resource location is the same in two pieces of broadcast information carried in the two broadcast channel signals, obtains a time offset difference between the foregoing two time-frequency resource locations, and generates a scrambling sequence based on the time offset difference; and the terminal device separately descrambles the two broadcast channel signals based on the scrambling sequence and a preset scrambling sequence, thereby implementing joint decoding on the two broadcast channel signals, to obtain one piece of broadcast information.

There is disclosed a method and system for controlling network timing precision of a seismic collector, and a terminal device. The method includes: using an interrupt mode to transmit a data packet; calculating an optimal network delay; and correcting a transmission error in a network timing process according to the optimal network delay, after which the physical layer of a server receives the data packet and sends the data from the physical layer of the server to the application layer of the server using the interrupt mode thereby timing the data packet.

An interface conversion apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry measures communication quality inside the mobile communication system. The processing circuitry refers to evaluation index information specifying, for each communication group, an allowable range of variation in the measurement result of the communication quality and a fluctuation adjustment time, and determines the communication group in which a variation in the measurement result of the communication quality obtained from history information including a measurement result falls within the allowable range for each piece of identification information included in the packet. The processing circuitry selects the communication group of the packet received from the identification information of the packet received, based on a correspondence relationship between the communication group determined and the identification information of the packet. The processing circuitry controls the packet received for each communication group, using the fluctuation adjustment time in the evaluation index information corresponding to the communication group determined.

The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a Time Alignment Timer (TAT) status report by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Especially, the method includes the steps of configuring one or more Timing Advance Groups (TAGs); receiving a Timing Advance Command (TAC) for one of the one or more TAGs; starting a TAT for the one TAG; triggering the TAT status report when a remaining time of the TAT for the one TAG is less than a threshold for the one TAG; and transmitting the TAT status report to a network, wherein the TAT status report includes a first type indication indicating that the remaining time of the TAT for the one TAG is less than the threshold.

A communications device transmits data in preconfigured resources of an uplink of a wireless communications network by performing a procedure to determine whether the communications device can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources of the uplink, and if the communications device determines that it can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources, transmitting signals representing the data in the preconfigured resources. The procedure to determine whether the communications device can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources of the uplink includes a transmission parameter confirmation procedure which confirms that a value of one or more transmission parameters to be used for transmitting the signals representing the data can be used for the signals representing the data to be detected by an infrastructure equipment of the wireless communications network.

In a wireless communication system in which there is a propagation delay between a terminal station device and a base station device using time division multiplexing in a duplex operation system, at least one of the base station device or the terminal station device includes a delay calculating unit that calculates a propagation delay, and the base station device or the terminal station device includes a control unit that changes a frame configuration such that a standby time required for switching between the uplink frame and the downlink frame is shortened in accordance with the propagation delay. In accordance with this, a surplus standby time is shortened, and a transmission capacity can be improved.
