MUMBAI, India, Nov. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517095259 A) filed by Apple Inc., Cupertino, U.S.A., on Oct. 3, for 'user equipment based timing advance estimation.'
Inventor(s) include Palle Venkata, Naveen Kumar R; Li, Qiming; Xu, Fangli; He, Hong; Hu, Haijing; Chen, Yuqin; Wu, Zhibin; Rossbach, Ralf; Kuo, Ping-Heng; and Cheng, Peng.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 14, under issue no. 46/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present application relates to techniques for UE-based TA estimations. For example, a UE can be connected to a base station via a first cell and can be configured with information for a UE-based TA estimation. This information can be included in a cell configuration of a second cell, a group configuration of a group of cells, or a measurement configuration. The UE can perform a first timing measurement on a first reference signal sent by the first cell and a second timing measurement on a second reference signal sent by the second cell. Upon a command to connect to the second cell (e.g., for a first cell to second cell handover), the UE can determine a timing difference between the two timing measurements and determine, based on a first TA of the first cell and the timing difference, a second TA to use for the second cell."
The patent application was internationally filed on Apr. 05, 2023, under International application No.PCT/CN2023/086351.
