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 17):
A system for using an estimated timing advance for satellite-based communications, the system comprising:\n a communication satellite; a communication network gateway system that communicates with the communication satellite; and user equipment, comprising:\n a satellite antenna for communicating with the communication satellite that relays communications to a satellite gateway system; \n a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) component; and \n 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 user equipment using the GNSS component; \n calculate 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; \n determine a second estimated distance between the communication satellite and the communication network gateway system, wherein communications between the user equipment and a communication network are to be routed through the communication network gateway system and the communication satellite; \n calculate an estimated timing offset using the calculated first estimated distance and the determined second 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 \n receive a TA command that comprises a timing advance (TA) value transmitted by the communication network gateway via the communication satellite; \n adjust the calculated estimated timing offset based on the received TA value to create a corrected TA value; and \n transmit to the communication satellite, data such that a timing of transmission of the data is based on the corrected TA value.
