Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for managing synchronization signal measurement timing configurations.
Claims21
-20. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry to:
- access a serving cell provided by a source non-terrestrial network payload (NP);
- determine a switch time after which the serving cell is to be provided by a target NP;
- determine a difference between a first propagation delay associated with the source NP and a second propagation delay associated with the target NP;
- and
- generate, for transmission to a network, a report that includes an indication of the difference;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled to the processing circuitry to enable communication.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- generating one or more synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block measurement timing configurations (SMTCs) associated with a respective one or more measurement windows, wherein the one or more measurement windows are to encompass a first synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) transmitted by a source non-terrestrial network payload (NP) and a second SSB transmitted by a target NP;
- and
- outputting, for transmission in a serving cell provided by the source NP, an indication of the one or more SMTCs.
One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- process a message to detect one or more synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block measurement timing configurations (SMTCs);
- and
- measure a first synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) transmitted by a source non-terrestrial network payload (NP) and a second SSB transmitted by a target NP based on the one or more SMTCs, wherein the source NP is to provide a serving cell before a switch time and the target NP is to provide the serving cell after the switch time.
