Abstract
A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to monitor SSBs/PBCHs (synchronization signal blocks/physical broadcast channels) and obtain system information block type 1 (SIB1) information. The receiving circuitry is further configured to receive downlink (DL) control information on a DL reception timeslot pattern indication and to receive DL signals and detect potential data to the UE in indicated timeslots following the DL reception timeslot pattern.
Claims11
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving circuitry configured to:
- monitor SSBs/PBCHs (synchronization signal blocks/physical broadcast channels) and obtain system information block type 1 (SIB1) information;
- receive downlink (DL) control information on a DL reception timeslot pattern indication for a beam group and/or beam pattern in a non-terrestrial network (NTN);
- and
- receive DL signals and detect potential data to the UE in indicated timeslots following the DL reception timeslot pattern.
