The various embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for uplink scheduling schemes for low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite based Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN). According to an embodiment, a zone-based scheduling (ZBS) scheme is described where the coverage area may be divided into a plurality of zones and independent scheduling-offsets may be allocated for each of the zones. The ZBS scheme improves upon the overall user latency by reducing the K2 and cell offset delay for low-propagation delay users within the NTN cells. At the same time, the impact of differential doppler may also be mitigated with such a zone-based allocation strategy.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a configuration for frequency hopping across repetitions of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmitted via a plurality of component carriers, wherein the plurality of component carriers includes at least a first component carrier and a second component carrier. The UE may transmit the repetitions of the PUCCH in accordance with the configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.

A method by which a terminal transmits data in an unlicensed band, and an apparatus using the method are provided. The method comprises: transmitting data to a base station through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in the unlicensed band; and receiving, from the base station, acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information about the data in the unlicensed band, wherein the terminal receives, from the base station, timeline information notifying of a time relationship between the PUSCH transmission time point and the ACK/NACK information reception time point.

A method and a device for repeatedly transmitting an uplink channel in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The method for repeatedly transmitting an uplink channel, according to one embodiment of the disclosure, can comprise the steps of: receiving configuration information related to the repeated transmission of N (N is a natural number) number of resource units (RUs) of an uplink channel; receiving downlink control information (DCI); and transmitting the uplink channel on the basis of the configuration information.

The present disclosure proposes schemes, techniques, designs and methods pertaining to timing handling for integration of terrestrial network (TN) and non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications. Communications between a user equipment (UE) and a TN node and communications between the UE and an NTN node are established. The UE compensates for a first propagation delay in the communications between the UE and the NTN node, and the UE is able to obtain a second propagation delay between the UE and the NTN node.

Embodiments of the present application are directed to a method and apparatus for timely scheduling. The method may include: configuring DRX configuration information; and preventing a MAC entity from entering into inactive time in response to that a first MAC PDU is not transmitted in an uplink grant.

A number of repetitions equal to a first number and a number of spatial relations equal to a second number can be determined (210) to transmit an uplink channel with a plurality of uplink channel repetitions and with a plurality of spatial relations. A total number of the plurality of uplink channel repetitions can be the first number of repetitions and a total number of the plurality of spatial relations can be the second number of spatial relations. The plurality of spatial relations for transmission of the plurality of uplink channel repetitions can be determined (220) based on a plurality of quasi-co-location assumptions associated with downlink reception. The plurality of uplink channel repetitions can be transmitted (230) based on the determined plurality of spatial relations.

A method includes: transmitting a plurality of data signals via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a plurality of report signals via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) from a user equipment to a wireless network according to a plurality of transmission configurations for spatial settings; and receiving a control signal before the transmitting, by a user equipment, from the wireless network, wherein the control signal indicates the plurality of transmission configurations for the spatial settings; the plurality of transmission configurations for the spatial settings are associated with multiple reference signals.

The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a data unit by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Especially, the method includes the steps of configuring a first pre-configured uplink (UL) resources (PUR) group and a second PUR group, wherein the first PUR group is used for data transmission not requiring the network feedback and the second PUR group is used for data transmission requiring the network feedback; generating the data unit to be transmitted to a network; selecting one of the first PUR group and the second PUR group based on whether a transmission of the data unit requires a feedback response of the data unit or not; selecting one of PURs belonging to the selected PUR group; and transmitting the data unit to the network on a UL resource belonging to the selected PUR.

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives first information related to a slot format and second information related to a symbol pattern invalid in transmission of an uplink shared channel, and a control section that controls the transmission of the uplink shared channel to be performed in a time section designated as UL by at least the first information and not designated as invalid by the second information.
