Application: Downlink loop operation in a non-terrestrial network (Patent ID: US20230413203A1)
Qualcomm Inc. has filed a patent related to wireless communication, focusing on a user equipment (UE) receiving ephemeris information and a timing advance parameter associated with a satellite. The UE then modifies either a downlink frequency tracking loop (FTL) or a downlink time tracking loop (TTL) based on the ephemeris information to receive a downlink signal from the satellite. The patent also includes calculating Doppler shifts for service and feeder links, updating UE position and velocity, and adjusting FTL or TTL based on these calculations.
The patent further details the calculation of Doppler shifts based on global navigation satellite system (GNSS) information, satellite position, and velocity. It also involves updating satellite position and velocity periodically, receiving updated ephemeris information, calculating frequency corrections, and adjusting system timers. Additionally, the patent covers methods for wireless communication performed by a UE, storing instructions on a computer-readable medium, and means for receiving ephemeris information, modifying FTL or TTL, and receiving downlink signals. These claims highlight the innovative approach Qualcomm is taking to enhance wireless communication through advanced tracking and signal processing techniques.
