UPLINK FREQUENCY AND TIMING COMPENSATION IN A NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK

Abstract:

A non-terrestrial network is provided that includes a satellite that transmits an orbital parameter message to a user equipment. The user equipment processes the orbital parameter message to determine a current range from the user equipment to the satellite based upon the received orbital parameter message, a timing offset and a frequency offset for an uplink transmission to the satellite.
