Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for ephemeris signaling in wireless networks.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- processor circuitry to:
- determine a timing advance (TA);
- receive a user equipment (UE)-specific offset value;
- compare a difference between the UE-specific offset value and the TA to at least one predetermined threshold;
- detect a report trigger based on the comparison of the difference to the at least one predetermined threshold;
- and
- generate a report for transmission to a base station based on the report trigger;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled to the processor circuitry to transmit the report.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, an indication of a threshold;
- determining a first timing advance (TA);
- comparing a difference between the first TA and a second TA to the threshold;
- detecting a report trigger based on comparing the difference to the threshold;
- and
- generating a report for transmission to a base station based on the report trigger.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- processor circuitry to:
- generate, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) signal with an indication of a threshold to be used to trigger a report from the UE;
- and
- receive the report from the UE, the report to include an indication of a timing advance (TA) with a slot granularity;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled with the processor circuitry to enable communication.
