Abstract

Claims (37)

1 . A user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communications, the UE comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor, wherein:

the receiver is configured to receive first information;

the receiver is further configured to receive second information;

the processor is configured to determine a timing compensation value;

the processor is further configured to determine a timing offset value based on the second information;

the processor is further configured to determine a target timing compensation value based on the determined timing offset value and the determined timing compensation value; and

the transmitter is configured to transmit a first message using the determined target timing compensation value, wherein a time interval length between a start time for transmission of the first message and a reference time is equal to the target timing compensation value, wherein the reference time is a boundary time for a reference time-domain resource unit, and wherein the reference time-domain resource unit is a based on the first information.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first information or the second information is used to determine a plurality of candidate formats, wherein at least one of the timing compensation value or the timing offset value is used to determine a format out of the plurality of candidate formats, and wherein the format is used to determine the first message.

3 . The UE of claim 2 , wherein when only the timing compensation value and the timing offset value is used to determine the format, wherein the format is used to determine the timing offset value, wherein the timing offset value is linear with a length of a cyclic prefix (CP) corresponding to the format.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein a capability of the UE is used to determine the timing compensation value, wherein the timing offset value is related to an error of the timing compensation value determined by the UE.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second information is used to determine a parameter set, wherein the parameter set is used to determine the timing offset value.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein at least one of a length of a cyclic prefix comprised in the first message in time domain or a number of time-domain resources occupied by a preamble sequence included in the first message is related to an error of the timing compensation value determined by the UE.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the timing compensation value is expressed in a number of Tc, where Tc=1/(480000*4096) second.

8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first message comprises a preamble sequence.

9 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the reference time-domain resource unit is a time domain resource occupied by a physical random access channel (PRACH) occasion in a time domain.

10 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the processor is further configured to determine a position of the reference time-domain unit based on the first information.

11 . A method for use in a user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, the method comprising:

receiving first information;

receiving second information;

determining a timing compensation value;

determining a timing offset value based on the second information;

determining a target timing compensation value based on the determined timing offset value and the determined timing compensation value; and

transmitting a first message using the determined target timing compensation value, wherein a time interval length between a start time for transmitting the first message and a reference time is equal to the target timing compensation value, wherein the reference time is a boundary time for a reference time-domain resource unit, and wherein the reference time-domain resource unit is based on the first information.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the first information or the second information is used to determine a plurality of candidate formats, wherein at least one of the timing compensation value or the timing offset value is used to determine a format out of the plurality of candidate formats, and wherein the format is used to determine the first message.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein when only the timing compensation value and the timing offset value is used to determine the format, wherein the format is used to determine the timing offset value, wherein the timing offset value is linear with a length of a cyclic prefix (CP) corresponding to the format.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a capability of the UE is used to determine the timing compensation value, wherein the timing offset value is related to an error of the timing compensation value determined by the UE.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the second information is used to determine a parameter set, wherein the parameter set is used to determine the timing offset value.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein at least one of a length of a cyclic prefix comprised in the first message in time domain or a number of time-domain resources occupied by a preamble sequence included in the first message is related to an error of the timing compensation value determined by the UE.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the timing compensation value is expressed in a number of Tc, where Tc=1/(480000*4096) second.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the first message comprises a preamble sequence.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the reference time-domain resource unit is a time domain resource occupied by a physical random access channel (PRACH) occasion in a time domain.

20 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

determining a position of the reference time-domain unit based on the first information.
