Abstract:
Various arrangements are presented for using an estimated timing advance for user equipment communications. A location of an instance of user equipment may be determined. A first estimated distance between the user equipment and a communication satellite may be determined using the determined location of the user equipment and an estimated satellite location. A second estimated distance between the communication satellite and a communication network gateway may be determined. An estimated timing offset using the calculated first estimated distance and the determined second estimated distance may be determined. An uplink data frame may be transmitted by the user equipment to the satellite such that a timing of transmission of the uplink data frame is based on the calculated estimated timing offset.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for using an estimated timing advance for user equipment communications, the method comprising:\n determining, by user equipment, a location of the user equipment using a global navigation satellite system; calculating, by the user equipment, a first estimated distance between the user equipment and a communication satellite using the determined location of the user equipment and an estimated satellite location, wherein the estimated satellite location indicates an estimated orbital location of the communication satellite; determining, by the user equipment, a second estimated distance between the communication satellite and a communication network gateway, wherein communications between the user equipment and a communication network are to be routed through the communication network gateway and the communication satellite; calculating, by the user equipment, an estimated timing offset using the calculated first estimated distance and the determined second estimated distance; transmitting, by the user equipment, to the communication satellite, an uplink data frame such that a timing of transmission of the uplink data frame is based on the calculated estimated timing offset; receiving, by the user equipment, a TA command that comprises a timing advance (TA) value to the user equipment transmitting by the communication network gateway via the satellite: adjusting, by the user equipment, the calculated estimated timing offset based on the received TA value to create a corrected TA value; and transmitting, by the user equipment, to the communication satellite, data such that a timing of transmission of the data is based on the corrected TA value.
