METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING DL COMMUNICATION WITH TIMING OFFSETS

Abstract:

The apparatus wireless communication may include a UE. The UE may receive a DL communication triggering a UL communication starting in a first UL slot/subframe from an NTN BS over at least one DL slot/subframe ending in a first DL slot/subframe. The UE may monitor for DL communications from the NTN BS in at least a subset of DL slots/subframes between the first DL slot/subframe and a second DL slot/subframe that is time-aligned with the first UL slot/subframe. The DL communication may trigger a second DL communication starting at a third DL slot/subframe and ending at a fourth DL slot/subframe, and the UL communication is based at least in part on receiving the second DL communication, and the UE may monitor the at least the subset of slots/subframes between the fourth DL slot/subframe and the second DL slot/subframe.
