US 12,120,675 B2 · Variable uplink response and/or scheduling delays for non-terrestrial networks

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may determine at least one of a variable random access response (RAR) window start time, a variable maximum quantity of slots for an index of a first slot of a physical random access channel occasion, or scheduling information related to one or more variable delays for an uplink transmission. The BS may transmit, to a user equipment, at least one of information that identifies the RAR window start time, information that identifies the variable maximum quantity of slots, or the scheduling information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving information that identifies a variable random access response (RAR) window start time;
and
searching for an RAR from the variable RAR window start time until an RAR window size elapses,
wherein the variable RAR window start time is greater than or equal to a value determined based at least in part on a feeder link delay and a service link delay.
