Abstract

A wireless communication method, a terminal device and a network device are provided. In the wireless communication method, the terminal device transmits a first timing advance (TA) value of the terminal device to a network device in response to that the terminal device satisfies a preset condition.

Claims (26)

1 . A wireless communication method, comprising:

transmitting, by a terminal device, a first timing advance (TA) value of the terminal device to a network device in response to that the terminal device satisfies a preset condition, wherein the first TA value is obtained based on location information of the terminal device and ephemeris information, and wherein the preset condition comprises that a TA change of the first TA value relative to a last TA value obtained by the terminal device is greater than a preset threshold, wherein the last TA value obtained is determined based on last location information of the terminal device and last ephemeris information, and is reported by the terminal device to the network device after a random access process.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the preset condition further comprises that

a time domain parameter value indicated by the network device to the terminal device is unavailable, the time domain parameter value being used to determine a transmission time of an uplink channel or uplink transmission information of the terminal device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the preset threshold is carried in configuration information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first TA value is an absolute TA value or a relative TA value of the terminal device.

5 . A wireless communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a network device, a first timing advance (TA) value of a terminal device,

wherein the first TA value is transmitted in response to that the terminal device satisfies a preset condition, wherein the first TA value is obtained based on location information of the terminal device and ephemeris information, and wherein the preset condition comprises that a TA change of the first TA value relative to a last TA value obtained by the terminal device is greater than a preset threshold, wherein the last TA value obtained is determined based on last location information of the terminal device and last ephemeris information, and is reported by the terminal device to the network device after a random access process.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the preset condition further comprises that

a time domain parameter value indicated by the network device to the terminal device is unavailable, the time domain parameter value being used to determine a transmission time of an uplink channel or uplink transmission information of the terminal device.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the preset threshold is carried in configuration information.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first TA value is an absolute TA value or a relative TA value of the terminal device.

9 . A terminal device, comprising:

a communication unit, configured to transmit a first timing advance (TA) value of the terminal device to a network device in response to that the terminal device satisfies a preset condition, wherein the first TA value is obtained based on location information of the terminal device and ephemeris information, and wherein the preset condition comprises that a TA change of the first TA value relative to a last TA value obtained by the terminal device is greater than a preset threshold, wherein the last TA value obtained is determined based on last location information of the terminal device and last ephemeris information, and is reported by the terminal device to the network device after a random access process.

10 . The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the preset condition further comprises that

a time domain parameter value indicated by the network device to the terminal device is unavailable, the time domain parameter value being used to determine a transmission time of an uplink channel or uplink transmission information of the terminal device.

11 . The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the preset threshold is carried in configuration information.

12 . The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the first TA value is an absolute TA value or a relative TA value of the terminal device.

13 . A network device, suitable to perform the wireless communication method of claim 6 , the network device comprising:

a transceiver, configured to receive a first timing advance (TA) value of a terminal device,

wherein the first TA value is transmitted in response to that the terminal device satisfies a preset condition, wherein the first TA value is obtained based on location information of the terminal device and ephemeris information, and wherein the preset condition comprises that a TA change of the first TA value relative to a last TA value obtained by the terminal device is greater than a preset threshold, wherein the last TA value obtained is determined based on last location information of the terminal device and last ephemeris information, and is reported by the terminal device to the network device after a random access process.

14 . The network device of claim 13 , wherein the preset condition further comprises that

a time domain parameter value indicated by the network device to the terminal device is unavailable, the time domain parameter value being used to determine a transmission time of an uplink channel or uplink transmission information of the terminal device.

15 . The network device of claim 13 , wherein the preset threshold is carried in configuration information.

16 . The network device of claim 13 , wherein the first TA value is an absolute TA value or a relative TA value of the terminal device.
