Application: Methods, communications device and non-terrestrial network infrastructure equipment (Patent ID: US20240171266A1)
The patent filed by Sony Group Corp. describes a method for operating a communications device to transmit or receive data via a non-terrestrial network (NTN) infrastructure equipment carried by aerial vehicles. The method involves detecting signals from the NTN infrastructure equipment during specific in-coverage periods, transmitting or receiving data in sub-periods of subsequent in-coverage periods to optimize communication efficiency, and utilizing channel condition profiles to determine the most suitable transmission or reception times.
Furthermore, the patent details the process of determining channel condition profiles, transmitting this information to the wireless communications network, receiving scheduling information for optimal data transmission/reception sub-periods, and identifying the aerial vehicle carrying the infrastructure equipment. The method aims to reduce the amount of communication resources required for data transmission/reception by leveraging the unique capabilities of NTN infrastructure equipment carried by aerial vehicles. Additionally, the patent includes configurations for Machine-Type Communication (MTC) and optimizing demodulation reference signals (DMRS) based on channel conditions, as well as the design of communications devices and NTN infrastructure equipment to support these operations efficiently.
