Abstract

Un terminal 100 comprend : une unité de réception sans fil 103 qui reçoit, en provenance d'un gNB210, un signal de liaison descendante qui comprend des informations pour déterminer un temps de propagation entre le terminal 100 et le gNB210 ; une unité de commande 111 qui acquiert le temps de propagation à l'aide du signal de liaison descendante ; et une unité de transmission sans fil 101 qui transmet, au gNB210, des informations temporelles qui comprennent un nouvel instant TSN (ou instant NR) résultant du changement d'un instant TSN (ou instant NR) sur la base du temps de propagation.
