Description
[0001] Cross-reference to related applications
[0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 078,663, filed September 15, 2020, entitled “ENHANCED TIMING ADVANCE OFFSET VALUE INDICATIONS,” and U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 17 / 446,917, filed September 3, 2021, entitled “ENHANCED TIMING ADVANCE OFFSET VALUE INDICATIONS,” which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] In summary, aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication, and specifically to techniques and apparatus for enhancing timing advance (TA) offset value indication. Background Technology
[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / Advanced LTE is a collection of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
[0005] A wireless network may include multiple base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication for multiple user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the BS via downlinks and uplinks. A "downlink" (or "forward link") refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and an "uplink" (or "backlink") refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, Access Point (AP), Radio Headend, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), New Radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.
[0006] The aforementioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR, also known as 5G, is a collection of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by: improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and better integration with other open standards that use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL) and CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. On the contrary, these aspects are provided to make this disclosure sufficient and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will recognize that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus or practice may be implemented using any number of aspects set forth herein. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses and methods practiced using structures, functionalities, or structures and functionalities other than or different from the aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.
[0036] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be presented with reference to various devices and technologies. These devices and technologies will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.
[0037] It should be noted that although the terms generally associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) may be used to describe aspects herein, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).
[0038] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, as well as other examples. The wireless network 100 may include multiple base stations 110 (shown as BS110a, BS110b, BS110c, and BS110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, depending on the context in which the term is used, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area.
[0039] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and can allow restricted access by UEs associated with a femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed User Group (CSG)). A BS for a macrocell can be called a macro BS. A BS for a picocell can be called a pico BS. A BS for a femtocell can be called a femto BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NRBS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “Node B,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.
[0040] In some respects, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network through various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).
[0041] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that receives data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or UE) and sends data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or BS). A relay station may also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions to other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS110d can communicate with macro BS110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.
[0042] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs can have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).
[0043] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a collection of BSs and can provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with the BSs via backhaul. BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul.
[0044] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed across the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, user unit, station, etc. UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop computer, cordless phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, tablet computer, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or equipment, biosensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device or satellite radio), vehicle component or sensor, smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.
[0045] Some UEs can be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes can provide connectivity to or from a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or cellular networks) via wired or wireless communication links. Some UEs can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be considered Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included within a housing that houses the components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.
[0046] Generally, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.
[0047] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as a medium to communicate with each other). For example, UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In this case, UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations performed by base station 110 as described elsewhere herein.
[0048] Devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) (which can span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), and / or can communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2) (which spans from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequency (IF) frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is generally referred to as the "sub-6 GHz" band. Similarly, FR2 is generally referred to as the "millimeter wave" band, although this is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms "sub-6GHz," etc., if used herein, can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms "millimeter wave," etc., if used herein, can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25GHz). It is considered that frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 can be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.
[0049] Furthermore, it is anticipated that one or more additional frequency ranges (FRs) may be formally identified. For example, it is anticipated that FR3, FR4, and / or FR5 may be further identified for 5G NR, each of which may correspond to one or more millimeter-wave bands. For instance, the anticipated FR4 may span from 52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz. The anticipated FR3 may span from 7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz. The anticipated FR5 may span from 114.25 GHz to approximately 300 GHz. Therefore, unless otherwise explicitly stated, if “millimeter-wave” is used herein, it may also refer to frequencies within the anticipated FR3, FR4, and / or FR5.
[0050] As pointed out above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.
[0051] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 communicating with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein, generally, T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.
[0052] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., code and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). If applicable, the transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its own output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process the output sample stream (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively.
[0053] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if applicable), and provide the detected symbols. Receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide the decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide the decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine parameters such as the Received Reference Signal Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Received Reference Signal Quality (RSRQ), and / or CQI. In some aspects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.
[0054] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.
[0055] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, collections of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays, or may be included within one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, collections of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays. Antenna panels, antenna groups, collections of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, collections of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include collections of coplanar antenna elements or collections of non-coplanar antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, collections of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or antenna elements within multiple housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, collections of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include elements coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (such as...). Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).
[0056] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmitting processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmitting processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from the transmitting processor 264 can be pre-encoded by TX MIMO processor 266 (if applicable), further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110.

[0077] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 300 of a frame structure in a wireless communication network according to the present disclosure. Figure 3 The frame structure shown is used in frequency division duplex (FDD) telecommunications systems such as LTE and NR. The transmission timeline for each of the downlink and uplink can be divided into units of radio frames (sometimes called frames). Each radio frame can have a predetermined duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)) and can be divided into a set of Z (Z≥1) subframes (e.g., with indices from 0 to Z-1). Each subframe can have a predetermined duration (e.g., 1 ms) and can include a set of time slots (e.g., in...).

[0079] Figures 4A-4C These are schematic diagrams illustrating examples 400, 410, and 420 of full-duplex (FD) communication according to this disclosure. "FD communication mode" can refer to a communication mode of a wireless communication device (e.g., UE 120 or base station 110) in which the wireless communication device is capable of simultaneously or substantially simultaneously transmitting and receiving communications. Figure 4A Example 400 includes UE1 402 and two base stations (e.g., TRPs) 404-1 and 404-2, wherein UE1 402 is sending UL transmissions to base station 404-1 and receiving DL transmissions from base station 404-2 (e.g., simultaneously or substantially simultaneously). Figure 4A In Example 400, FD is enabled for UE1402, but not for base stations 404-1 and 404-2 (e.g., base stations 404-1 and 404-2 may transmit and receive at different times or substantially simultaneously).
[0080] Figure 4B Example 410 includes two UEs (UE1 402-1 and UE2 402-2) and a base station 404, wherein UE1 402-1 is receiving DL transmissions from base station 404, and UE2 402-2 is sending UL transmissions to base station 404 (e.g., simultaneously or substantially simultaneously).

Figure 4C In Example 420, FD is enabled for both UE1 402 and base station 404.
[0081] As pointed out above, Figures 4A-4C This is provided as one or more examples. Other examples may differ from those provided. Figures 4A-4C The example described.
[0082] Figure 5This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 500 of a transmission timing configuration for UE 120 according to the present disclosure. In some wireless communication systems, it may be necessary to adjust the timing of uplink frames to align them with downlink frames in the time domain at base station 110. For example, uplink transmission from UE 120 to base station 110 may take some time to reach base station 110. To better align uplink and downlink frames at base station 110, base station 110 may configure UE 120 to perform a certain amount of time on the corresponding uplink frame (e.g., by...). Figure 5 The uplink frame begins before (as depicted by reference numeral 510 in the attached figure).
[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, UE 120 can receive timing configurations for uplink transmissions. For example, base station 110 can send a TA command indicating a TA value. The TA command can be sent as part of a Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure (e.g., in a Random Access Response (RAR) message of the RACH procedure). In some aspects, the TA command can be indicated in a MAC-CE message. The TA value can be based at least in part on the amount of time taken for an uplink transmission from UE 120 to reach base station 110 (e.g., it can be based at least in part on the distance between UE 120 and base station 110).
[0084] UE 120 can determine, at least in part, the amount of time to start the corresponding uplink frame before the start of the downlink frame based on the TA value (by...). Figure 5 (Depicted by reference numeral 510 in the accompanying drawings). For example, UE 120 can determine the time quantity according to the following formula: T TA =(N TA +N TA offset )T c , where N TA It is the TA value, N TA offset It is the TA offset value, and T c It is a timing constant defined by the 3GPP specification. c It can be at least partially based on the maximum subcarrier spacing of the wireless network and the size of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In some cases, T c It can have a value of 0.509 nanoseconds (and other examples). The TA offset value can be at least partially based on the frequency band or topology (e.g., FDD or Time Division Duplex (TDD)) being used for communication between UE 120 and base station 110. The TA offset value can be defined by 3GPP specifications or otherwise fixed. In some aspects, the TA offset value can interpret the amount of time spent by base station 110 switching between receiving and transmitting communication. This is achieved through a time amount in the corresponding downlink frame (by...) Figure 5Before the uplink frame begins (as depicted by reference numeral 510 in the attached figure), base station 110 and UE 120 can synchronize symbols, thereby reducing inter-symbol interference that may be caused by time-domain misalignment of uplink and downlink frames at base station 110.
[0085] In some cases, the TA offset value can be a static value. For example, the TA offset value for UE 120 can be provided by base station 110, or the default TA offset value can be determined at least in part based on the frequency range or duplex mode (FDD or TDD) used for communication between UE 120 and base station 110. For example, for FR1, the TA offset value can be a semi-static value (e.g., base station 110 can configure the TA offset value at least in part based on the communication type or duplex mode (FDD or TDD) used for communication between UE 120 and base station 110). However, for FR2 or other millimeter-wave operating bands (e.g., FR3, FR4, or FR5), the TA offset value can be a fixed value (e.g., non-configurable). Therefore, base station 110 may not be able to modify the TA offset value used for the millimeter-wave operating band.
[0086] Furthermore, in some cases, base station 110 may be able to communicate in FD communication mode (e.g., base station 110 may be able to transmit and receive communications simultaneously or substantially simultaneously). Therefore, when base station 110 is operating in FD communication mode, a TA offset may not be required (e.g., the value of the TA offset may be zero) because base station 110 may not need any time to switch between transmitting and receiving communications. However, because the TA offset value can be a predefined static or semi-static value, base station 110 may not be able to configure a TA offset value at least in part based on the FD communication mode of base station 110.
[0087] Some of the techniques and apparatus described herein implement enhanced TA offset value indication. For example, base station 110 can be configured with TA offset values for high-frequency operating bands (e.g., FR2, FR3, FR4, or FR5). Additionally, base station 110 can be configured with different TA offset values for FD communication modes (e.g., in any frequency range). As a result, base station 110 can have more control over configuring TA offset values, leading to improved communication performance and / or improved spectral efficiency, etc.
[0088] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating example 600 associated with an enhanced TA offset value indication according to this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 6As shown, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate with each other. In some aspects, base station 110 and UE 120 can be included in a wireless network (such as wireless network 100). Base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate on a radio access link, which can include an uplink and a downlink.
[0089] As shown by reference numeral 605, base station 110 can determine one or more TA offset values for communication between base station 110 and UE 120. For example, base station 110 can determine a TA offset value for a high-frequency range operating band. The high-frequency range operating band can be FR2, FR3, FR4, or FR5, etc. For example, the high-frequency range operating band can include: an operating band including frequencies from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz, a millimeter-wave operating band, or an operating band including frequencies greater than 7.125 GHz, etc. In some aspects, base station 110 can determine a TA offset value for a high-frequency range operating band that is different from the default TA offset value for the high-frequency range operating band. The default TA offset value for the high-frequency range operating band can be a pre-configured TA offset value for the high-frequency range operating band, or a TA offset value for the high-frequency range operating band defined by 3GPP specifications or otherwise fixed, and other examples.
[0090] In some aspects, base station 110 may determine at least one of a TA offset value associated with the FD communication mode of base station 110 or a TA offset value associated with the half-duplex communication mode of base station 110 (e.g., where base station 110 does not transmit and receive simultaneously or substantially simultaneously). The TA offset value associated with the FD communication mode of base station 110 and / or the TA offset value associated with the half-duplex communication mode may be applied to all operating frequencies (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, or FR5) between UE 120 and base station 110.
[0091] In some aspects, base station 110 may determine a TA offset value associated with its FD communication mode and may use a default TA offset value for half-duplex communication mode. In some aspects, base station 110 may determine that the TA offset value associated with its FD communication mode is less than the default TA offset value. In some aspects, base station 110 may determine that the TA offset value associated with its FD communication mode is zero (e.g., indicating that no TA offset is needed when base station 110 is operating in FD communication mode).
[0092] As indicated by reference numeral 610, base station 110 can transmit indications of one or more TA offset values, and UE 120 can receive indications of one or more TA offset values. For example, base station 110 can transmit indications of TA offset values for high-frequency range operating bands. Base station 110 can transmit indications of TA offset values associated with FD communication modes of base station 110. Base station 110 can transmit indications of TA offset values associated with half-duplex communication modes of base station 110.
[0093] In some aspects, base station 110 may transmit an indication of the TA offset value in a broadcast transmission. For example, base station 110 may determine that all UEs 120 associated with base station 110 (e.g., all UEs 120 within the coverage area of base station 110) will be configured with the same TA offset value. Base station 110 may broadcast the indication of the TA offset value. In some aspects, only a subset of UEs 120 among all UEs 120 associated with base station 110 may be configured to receive the indication of the TA offset value in a broadcast transmission. For example, some UEs 120 may be able to receive and / or decode the signal carrying the indication of the TA offset value, while other UEs 120 may not be able to receive and / or decode the signal carrying the indication of the TA offset value. UEs 120 that are unable to receive and / or decode the signal carrying the indication of the TA offset value may use a default or pre-configured TA offset value. In some aspects, base station 110 may transmit the indication of the TA offset value in a dedicated message (e.g., for a unicast transmission for a specific UE 120). Specialized messages can be Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages, as well as other examples.
[0094] In some aspects, base station 110 may send an indication of the TA offset value in a dynamic message. The dynamic message may be a MAC-CE message or a Downlink Control Information (DCI) message, and other examples. The dynamic message may indicate a TA offset value from one or more configured TA offset values (e.g., a default TA offset value or a TA offset value determined by base station 110, as described herein). For example, the dynamic message may indicate whether the default TA offset value or a TA offset value determined (or configured) by base station 110 will be used by UE 120 for one or more upcoming communications.
[0095] As indicated by reference numeral 615, base station 110 may transmit an FD communication mode capability indication, and UE 120 may receive the FD communication mode capability indication. In some aspects, the FD communication mode capability indication may indicate that base station 110 is capable of communicating in FD communication mode. In some aspects, the FD communication mode capability indication may indicate a set of resources (e.g., time-domain resources and / or frequency-domain resources) associated with the FD communication mode of base station 110 and / or a set of resources (e.g., time-domain resources and / or frequency-domain resources) associated with the half-duplex communication mode of the base station. For example, base station 110 may indicate one or more FD time slots (e.g., during which base station 110 operates in FD communication mode) and one or more half-duplex time slots (e.g., during which base station 110 operates in half-duplex communication mode).
[0096] As shown by reference numeral 620, base station 110 may transmit scheduling information for one or more upcoming communications, and UE 120 may receive scheduling information for one or more upcoming communications. The scheduling information may indicate whether the communication will be associated with base station 110's FD communication mode or its half-duplex communication mode. The scheduling information may indicate one or more resources (e.g., time-domain resources and / or frequency-domain resources) associated with the communication.
[0097] As shown by reference numeral 625, UE 120 can determine an appropriate TA offset value for one or more upcoming communications. In some aspects, UE 120 can determine the TA offset value based at least in part on an indication of the TA offset value received from base station 110. For example, base station 110 can indicate a TA offset value for a high-frequency range operating band. UE 120 can determine that UE 120 is operating in a high-frequency range operating band and can determine that the TA offset value for the high-frequency range operating band will be applied to the upcoming communications. Similarly, base station 110 can indicate the duplex mode (FD or half-duplex) that base station 110 is operating for the upcoming communications. Base station 110 can indicate a TA offset value associated with an FD communication mode or a TA offset value associated with a half-duplex communication mode. UE 120 can determine the TA offset value (e.g., a TA offset value associated with an FD communication mode or a TA offset value associated with a half-duplex communication mode) based at least in part on an indication made by base station 110.
[0098] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the appropriate TA offset value for one or more upcoming communications based at least in part on scheduling information associated with those communications. For example, UE 120 may determine, at least in part, the duplex mode (FD or half-duplex) in which base station 110 is operating for one or more upcoming communications based on scheduling information. As described herein, base station 110 may have a previously indicated TA offset value associated with either the FD or half-duplex communication mode. UE 120 may determine the appropriate TA offset value based at least in part on the duplex mode (FD or half-duplex) in which base station 110 is operating for one or more upcoming communications.
[0099] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the appropriate TA offset value for one or more upcoming communications based at least in part on the resources associated with those resources. For example, UE 120 may determine whether the upcoming communication is associated with an FD resource (e.g., an FD time slot) or a half-duplex resource (e.g., a half-duplex time slot). UE 120 may determine the TA offset value at least in part based on whether the upcoming communication is associated with an FD resource (e.g., an FD time slot) or a half-duplex resource (e.g., a half-duplex time slot) to (e.g., from a previously indicated TA offset value, as described herein).
[0100] As indicated by reference numeral 630 in the attached figure, UE 120 can apply the TA offset value as part of the timing coordination process with base station 110. For example, as described above... Figure 5 The UE 120 can determine the amount of time to start an uplink frame before the start of a downlink frame. The UE 120 can use the TA value and TA offset value to determine the amount of time to start an uplink frame before the start of a downlink frame.
[0101] As shown by reference numeral 635, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate based on TA offset values. For example, UE 120 can transmit uplink communication in an uplink frame, and base station 110 can receive uplink communication in an uplink frame. Base station 110 can transmit downlink communication in a downlink frame, and UE 120 can receive downlink communication in a downlink frame. As described above, the transmission timing of uplink frames can be at least partially based on TA offset values. In some aspects, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate in a high-frequency operating band (e.g., FR2, FR3, FR4, or FR5). In some aspects, base station 110 can communicate with UE 120 while operating in FD communication mode (e.g., where UE 120 applies TA offset values associated with FD communication mode). In some aspects, base station 110 can communicate with UE 120 while operating in half-duplex communication mode (e.g., where UE 120 applies TA offset values associated with half-duplex communication mode). As a result, base station 110 can have more control over configuring TA offset values, leading to improved communication performance and / or improved spectral efficiency, etc.
