Uplink Timing Asynchronism Handling in 5G Wireless Systems

The patent segments the timing advance management by maintaining separate timing advance values for different beams (first TA value for first beam, second TA value for second beam) and separately managing their validity. When one TA value becomes invalid, only the corresponding beam's transmission is affected, while other beams with valid TA values continue transmitting, thus avoiding system-wide disruption.

The patent applies local quality by allowing different beams to have different timing advance validity states. The UE evaluates each beam's TA value independently and maintains transmission quality on valid beams while discontinuing only on invalid beams, rather than applying a uniform flushing action to all beams.

The patent segments configuration management by associating configurations with specific beams and their corresponding TA values. When a TA value becomes invalid, only the configuration for that specific beam is cleared, while configurations for other beams remain intact, allowing selective configuration management.

The patent applies local quality by clearing configurations only for the beam whose TA value became invalid, rather than clearing all configurations system-wide. This localized approach preserves connection continuity on beams that still have valid timing advance values.

The patent segments timing advance management into independent TA value entities for each beam. The UE maintains a first TA value for the first beam and a second TA value for the second beam, with separate validity tracking for each. This segmentation allows independent management of each beam's timing without affecting others.

The patent implements dynamic timing advance value management where the UE can independently update, validate, and manage multiple TA values based on beam-specific conditions. The system dynamically adjusts which beams are active based on TA validity without requiring complete system reconfiguration.
