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. An 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. An estimated timing offset using the calculated 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 11):
A device for using an estimated timing advance for satellite-based communications, the device comprising:\n a satellite antenna for communicating directly with a communication satellite that relays communications to a satellite gateway system; a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) component; and one or more processors in communication with the satellite antenna and the GNSS component, the one or more processors configured to:\n determine a location of the device using the GNSS component; \n calculate an estimated distance between the device and the communication satellite using the determined location of the device and an estimated satellite location, wherein:\n the estimated satellite location indicates an estimated orbital location of the communication satellite; \n the communication satellite functions as a distributed unit that performs one or more gNodeB functions on data received from the user equipment and \n a satellite gateway system functions as a centralized unit that communicates with the distributed unit and performs one or more additional gNodeB functions on data received from the user equipment via the communication satellite; \n \n calculate an estimated timing offset using the calculated estimated distance; and \n transmit, to the communication satellite, via the satellite antenna, an uplink data frame such that a timing of transmission of the uplink data frame is based on the calculated estimated timing offset.
