Abstract
An internet of things (IoT) non-terrestrial network (NTN) device user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to determine an IoT NTN downlink (DL) timeslot within legacy time division duplex (TDD) DL slots. The UE also includes transmitting circuitry configured to determine an IoT NTN uplink (UL) timeslot within legacy TDD UL slots.
