Application: Communication device and communication method (Patent ID: US20240188146A1)

The patent filed by Sony Group Corp describes a communication device and method aimed at enhancing the quality of radio links in a system where a base station and communication device interact. The communication device includes a receiver for synchronization signals from the base station and a transmitter for sending a physical random access channel (PRACH) with features to uniquely identify the received synchronization signal and PRACH resource to the base station.

The claims detail the specific functions and configurations of the communication device, including transmitting PRACH based on previous timing information, using dedicated bands or slots for transmission, and incorporating features like preamble sequences for identification. The method involves receiving synchronization signals, utilizing Zadoff-Chu sequences for PRACH configuration, and considering position or movement trajectory information for timing calculations. Additionally, the patent covers non-terrestrial station devices transmitting timing information, receiving PRACH, and utilizing Zadoff-Chu sequences for configuration. The computer product instructions enable the performance of these methods by non-terrestrial and terrestrial station devices, emphasizing the importance of timing calculations based on position and movement trajectory information for PRACH transmission.
