Abstract
A method for slot offset determination for non-terrestrial networks includes receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including downlink control information (DCI) scheduling transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and receiving a slot offset for transmission of the PUSCH. An additional slot offset is determined based on a timing advance value. A total slot offset is determined based on the slot offset and the additional slot offset. The PUSCH is transmitted based on the total slot offset and the timing advance value.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- receiving information scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission;
- receiving a slot offset for the PUSCH transmission;
- determining an additional slot offset based on a timing advance value;
- determining a total slot offset based on the slot offset and the additional slot offset;
- and
- transmitting the PUSCH transmission based on the total slot offset and the timing advance value.
A user equipment (UE) device, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the transceiver, information scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission;
- receiving, by the transceiver, a slot offset for the PUSCH transmission;
- determining an additional slot offset based on a timing advance value;
- determining a total slot offset based on the slot offset and the additional slot offset;
- and
- transmitting, by the transceiver, the PUSCH transmission based on the total slot offset and the timing advance value.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving information scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission;
- receiving a slot offset for the PUSCH transmission;
- determining an additional slot offset based on a timing advance value;
- determining a total slot offset based on the slot offset and the additional slot offset;
- and
- transmitting the PUSCH transmission based on the total slot offset and the timing advance value.
