Abstract
Various solutions for slot aggregation design in non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) time bundling configuration. The apparatus may determine a duration interval of the DMRS time bundling configuration. The apparatus may perform channel estimation cross slots based on the duration interval.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of an apparatus, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) time bundling configuration used in non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications;
- determining, by the processor, a duration interval of the DMRS time bundling configuration;
- and
- performing, by the processor, channel estimation cross slots of same aggregated slots transmitted in the NTN communications based on the duration interval,
- wherein the receiving comprises receiving the DMRS time bundling configuration via:
- an explicit signaling of an NTN transmission configuration.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver which, during operation, wirelessly communicates with network nodes of a wireless network;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver such that, during operation, the processor performs operations comprising:
- receiving, via the transceiver, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) time bundling configuration used in non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications;
- determining a duration interval of the DMRS time bundling configuration;
- and
- performing channel estimation cross slots of same aggregated slots transmitted in the NTN communications based on the duration interval,
- wherein, in receiving the DMRS time bundling configuration, the processor receives the DMRS time bundling configuration via:
- an explicit signaling of an NTN transmission configuration.
6 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of an apparatus, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) time bundling configuration used in an uplink (UL) transmission in non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications;
- determining, by the processor, a duration interval of the DMRS time bundling configuration;
- and
- performing, by the processor, the UL transmission in the NTN communications while maintaining phase continuity cross slots, wherein the receiving of the DMRS time bundling configuration comprises receiving the DMRS time bundling configuration via an explicit signaling of an NTN transmission configuration.
