Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a UE for enabling GNSS measurements. The UE and a network node are included in a NR communications network, and the NR communications network includes a NTN component. The UE performs a GNSS measurement according to a rule and using a GNSS receiver included in the UE. At least one of a UE position and an absolute time is an output of the GNSS measurement or is derivable from the GNSS measurement.
Claims17
A method performed by a User Equipment, UE, for enabling Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS, measurements, the UE and a network node being comprised in a New Radio, NR, communications network, and the NR communications network comprises a Non-Terrestrial Network, NTN, component, the method comprising:
- performing a GNSS measurement according to a rule and using a GNSS receiver comprised in the UE, at least one of a UE position and an absolute time being one of an output of the GNSS measurement and derivable from the GNSS measurement, the rule being that the GNSS measurement is performed with a periodicity associated with at least one of:
- a Discontinuous Reception, DRX, cycle;
- an enhanced Discontinuous Reception, eDRX, cycle;
- a Tracking Area Update, TAU, timer;
- and
- a Radio Access Network based Notification Area Update, RNAU, timer.

A User Equipment, UE, for enabling Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS, measurements, the UE and a network node being comprised in a New Radio, NR, communications network, and the NR communications network comprising a Non-Terrestrial Network, NTN, component, the UE being configured to:
- perform a GNSS measurement according to a rule and using a GNSS receiver comprised in the UE, wherein at least one of a UE position and an absolute time is an output of the GNSS measurement or is derivable from the GNSS measurement, the rule being that the GNSS measurement is performed with a periodicity associated with at least one of:
- a Discontinuous Reception, DRX, cycle;
- an enhanced Discontinuous Reception, eDRX, cycle;
- and/or
- a Tracking Area Update, TAU, timer;
- and
- a Radio Access Network based Notification Area Update, RNAU, timer.

A computer storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions which, when executed on at least one processor, cause the at least one processor:
- perform a Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS, measurement according to a rule and using a GNSS receiver comprised in a User Equipment, UE, at least one of a UE position and an absolute time being one of an output of the GNSS measurement and derivable from the GNSS measurement, the rule being that the GNSS measurement is performed with a periodicity associated with at least one of:
- a Discontinuous Reception, DRX, cycle;
- an enhanced Discontinuous Reception, eDRX, cycle;
- a Tracking Area Update, TAU, timer;
- and
- a Radio Access Network based Notification Area Update, RNAU, timer.
