INDICATING MOTION INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH A

HIGH-ALTITUDE PLATFORM STATION

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This Patent Application claims priority to United States Provisional Patent Application No. 63/262,069, filed on October 4, 2021, entitled “INDICATING MOTION INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGH-ALTITUDE PLATFORM STATION,” and U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 17/937,770, filed on October 3, 2022, entitled “INDICATING MOTION INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGH-ALTITUDE PLATFORM STATION,” which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for indicating motion information associated with a high-altitude platform station.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC- FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP).

[0004] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communication for wireless communication devices, such as a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a network node via downlink communications and uplink communications. “Downlink” (or “DL”) refers to a communication link from the network node to the UE, and “uplink” (or “UL”) refers to a communication link from the UE to the network node. Some wireless networks may support device-to-device communication, such as via a local link (e.g., a sidelink (SL), a wireless local area network (WLAN) link, and/or a wireless personal area network (WPAN) link, among other examples).

[0005] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and/or global level. New Radio (NR), which may be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and/or single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple -output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. One skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim. [0042] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0043] While aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G). [0044] Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and/or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as a network node 110a, a network node 110b, a network node 110c, and a network node 1 lOd), a user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as a UE 120a, a UE 120b, a UE 120c, a UE 120d, and a UE 120e), and/or other entities. A network node 110 is a network node that communicates with UEs 120. As shown, a network node 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, a network node 110 may be an aggregated network node, meaning that the aggregated network node is configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., within a single device or unit). As another example, a network node 110 may be a disaggregated network node (sometimes referred to as a disaggregated base station), meaning that the network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among two or more nodes (such as one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs)).

[0045] In some examples, a network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with UEs 120 via a radio access link, such as an RU. In some examples, a network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a fronthaul link or a midhaul link, such as a DU. In some examples, a network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a midhaul link or a core network via a backhaul link, such as a CU. In some examples, a network node 110 (such as an aggregated network node 110 or a disaggregated network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and/or one or more DUs. A network node 110 may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, a transmission reception point (TRP), a DU, an RU, a CU, a mobility element of a network, a core network node, a network element, a network equipment, a RAN node, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the network nodes 110 may be interconnected to one another or to one or more other network nodes 110 in the wireless network 100 through various types of fronthaul, midhaul, and/or backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection, an air interface, or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.

[0046] In some examples, a network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a network node 110 and/or a network node subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. A network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A network node 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro network node. A network node 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico network node. A network node 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto network node or an in-home network node. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the network node 110a may be a macro network node for a macro cell 102a, the network node 110b may be a pico network node for a pico cell 102b, and the network node 110c may be a femto network node for a femto cell 102c. A network node may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a network node 110 that is mobile (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0047] In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to an aggregated base station, a disaggregated base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, “base station” or “network node” may refer to a CU, a DU, an RU, a Near-Real Time (Near-RT) RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), or a Non-Real Time (Non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to one device configured to perform one or more functions, such as those described herein in connection with the network node 110. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to a plurality of devices configured to perform the one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of a quantity of different devices (which may be located in the same geographic location or in different geographic locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to duplicate performance of at least a portion of the function, and the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to any one or more of those different devices. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to one or more virtual base stations or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term “base station” or “network node” may refer to one of the base station functions and not another. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0048] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream node (e.g., a network node 110 or a UE 120) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream node (e.g., a UE 120 or a network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the network node 1 lOd (e.g., a relay network node) may communicate with the network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and the UE 120d in order to facilitate communication between the network node 110a and the UE 120d. A network node 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay network node, a relay node, a relay, or the like.

[0049] In some aspects, the wireless network 100 may include one or more non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments in which a non-terrestrial wireless communication device may include a UE (referred to herein, interchangeably, as a “non-terrestrial UE”) and/or another network node (referred to herein, interchangeably, as a “non-terrestrial network node”). A nonterrestrial network node may include, for example, a base station (referred to herein, interchangeably, as a “non-terrestrial base station”) and/or a relay station (referred to herein, interchangeably, as a “non-terrestrial relay station”), among other examples. As used herein, “NTN” may refer to a network for which access is facilitated by a non-terrestrial UE and/or a non-terrestrial network node.

[0050] The wireless network 100 may include any number of non-terrestrial wireless communication devices. A non-terrestrial wireless communication device may include a satellite, a manned aircraft system, an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platform, and/or the like. A satellite may include a low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite, a medium -earth orbit (MEO) satellite, a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite, and/or a high elliptical orbit (HEO) satellite, among other examples. A manned aircraft system may include an airplane, helicopter, and/or a dirigible, among other examples. A UAS platform may include a high-altitude platform station (HAPS), and may include a balloon, a dirigible, and/or an airplane, among other examples. A non-terrestrial wireless communication device may be part of an NTN that is separate from the wireless network 100. Alternatively, an NTN may be part of the wireless network 100.

Satellites may communicate directly and/or indirectly with other entities in wireless network 100 using satellite communication. The other entities may include UEs (e.g., terrestrial UEs and/or non-terrestrial UEs), other satellites in the one or more NTN deployments, other types of network nodes (e.g., stationary and/or ground-based network nodes), relay stations, and/or one or more components and/or devices included in a core network of wireless network 100, among other examples.

[0051] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes network nodes 110 of different types, such as macro network nodes, pico network nodes, femto network nodes, relay network nodes, or the like. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and/or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, macro network nodes may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico network nodes, femto network nodes, and relay network nodes may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0. 1 to 2 watts). [0052] A network controller 130 may couple to or communicate with a set of network nodes 110 and may provide coordination and control for these network nodes 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network nodes 110 via a backhaul communication link or a midhaul communication link. The network nodes 110 may communicate with one another directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul communication link. In some aspects, the network controller 130 may be a CU or a core network device, or may include a CU or a core network device.

[0053] The UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. A UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and/or a subscriber unit. A UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and/or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, a smart meter/sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, a UE function of a network node, and/or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0054] Some UEs 120 may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. An MTC UE and/or an eMTC UE may include, for example, a robot, a drone, a remote device, a sensor, a meter, a monitor, and/or a location tag, that may communicate with a network node, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Intemet-of-Things (loT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband loT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment. A UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of the UE 120, such as processor components and/or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled.

[0055] In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0056] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a network node 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to- vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, or a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In such examples, a UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the network node 110.

[0057] Devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided by frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz - 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz - 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz - 300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band.

[0058] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz - 24.25 GHz). Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and/or FR2 characteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and/or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4- 1 (52.6 GHz - 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz - 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz - 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0059] With the above examples in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and/or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and/or FR5) may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0060] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive, from a network node, motion information associated with a high-altitude platform station (HAPS); and communicate with at least one of the network node or a different network node based at least in part on the motion information. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive, from a network node, motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises information associated with at least one of a position of the HAPS or a velocity of the HAPS; and communicate with at least one of the network node or a different network node based at least in part on the motion information. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive, from a network node, motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises a trajectory indication that indicates trajectory information associated with the HAPS; and communicate with at least one of the network node or a different network node based at least in part on the motion information. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0061] In some aspects, the network node may include a communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may transmit motion information associated with a HAPS; and communicate with at least one UE based at least in part on the motion information. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may transmit motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises information associated with at least one of a position of the HAPS or a velocity of the HAPS; and communicate with at least one UE based at least in part on the motion information. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may transmit motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises a trajectory indication that indicates trajectory information associated with the HAPS; and communicate with at least one UE based at least in part on the motion information. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0062] As indicated above, Fig. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 1.

[0063] Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a network node 110 in communication with a user equipment (UE) 120 in a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a through 234t, such as T antennas (T> 1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a through 252r, such as R antennas (R > 1). The network node 110 of example 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as antennas 234 and a modem 254. In some examples, a network node 110 may include an interface, a communication component, or another component that facilitates communication with the UE 120 or another network node. Some network nodes 110 may not include radio frequency components that facilitate direct communication with the UE 120, such as one or more CUs, or one or more DUs.

[0064] At the network node 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data, from a data source 212, intended for the UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120). The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from that UE 120. The network node 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE 120 and may provide data symbols for the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems), shown as modems 232a through 232t. For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of a modem 232. Each modem 232 may use a respective modulator component to process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further use a respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and/or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a through 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas), shown as antennas 234a through 234t.

[0065] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a through 252r) may receive the downlink signals from the network node 110 and/or other network nodes 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems), shown as modems 254a through 254r. For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of a modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and/or digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modems 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and may provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a CQI parameter, among other examples. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

[0066] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller/processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network node 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0067] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a through 234t and/or antennas 252a through 252r) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of Fig. 2.

[0068] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from the controller/processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by the modems 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the network node 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 252, the modem(s) 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 280) and the memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figs. 5-13). [0069] At the network node 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and/or other UEs may be received by the antennas 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component, shown as DEMOD, of the modem 232), detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and provide the decoded control information to the controller/processor 240. The network node 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network node 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some examples, the modem 232 of the network node 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the network node 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 234, the modem(s) 232, the MIMO detector 236, the receive processor 238, the transmit processor 220, and/or the TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 240) and the memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figs. 5-13).

[0070] The controller/processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with indicating motion information associated with a HAPS, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. In some aspects, the network node described herein is the base station 110, is included in the base station 110, or includes one or more components of the base station 110 shown in Fig. 2. For example, the controller/processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 500 of Fig. 5, process 600 of Fig. 6, process 700 of Fig. 7, process 800 of Fig. 8, process 900 of Fig. 9, process 1000 of Fig. 10, and/or other processes as described herein. The memory 242 and the memory 282 may store data and program codes for the network node 110 and the UE 120, respectively. In some examples, the memory 242 and/or the memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the network node 110 and/or the UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and/or the base station 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, process 500 of Fig. 5, process 600 of Fig. 6, process 700 of Fig. 7, process 800 of Fig. 8, process 900 of Fig. 9, process 1000 of Fig. 10, and/or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instructions, among other examples.

[0071] In some aspects, the UE includes means for receiving, from a network node, motion information associated with a HAPS; and/or means for communicating with at least one of the network node or a different network node based at least in part on the motion information. In some aspects, the UE includes means for receiving, from a network node, motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises information associated with at least one of a position of the HAPS or a velocity of the HAPS; and/or means for communicating with at least one of the network node or a different network node based at least in part on the motion information. In some aspects, the UE includes means for receiving, from a network node, motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises a trajectory indication that indicates trajectory information associated with the HAPS; and/or means for communicating with at least one of the network node or a different network node based at least in part on the motion information. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller/processor 280, or memory 282.

[0072] In some aspects, the network node includes means for transmitting motion information associated with a HAPS; and/or means for communicating with at least one UE based at least in part on the motion information. In some aspects, the network node includes means for transmitting motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises information associated with at least one of a position of the HAPS or a velocity of the HAPS; and/or means for communicating with at least one UE based at least in part on the motion information. In some aspects, the network node includes means for transmitting motion information associated with a HAPS, wherein the motion information comprises a trajectory indication that indicates trajectory information associated with the HAPS; and/or means for communicating with at least one UE based at least in part on the motion information. In some aspects, the means for the network node to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 150, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modem 232, antenna 234, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.

[0073] While blocks in Fig. 2 are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller/processor 280. [0074] As indicated above, Fig. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 2.

[0075] Deployment of communication systems, such as 5G NR systems, may be arranged in multiple manners with various components or constituent parts. In a 5G NR system, or network, a network node, a network entity, a mobility element of a network, a RAN node, a core network node, a network element, a base station, or a network equipment may be implemented in an aggregated or disaggregated architecture. For example, a base station (such as a Node B (NB), an evolved NB (eNB), an NR BS, a 5G NB, an access point (AP), a TRP, or a cell, among other examples), or one or more units (or one or more components) performing base station functionality, may be implemented as an aggregated base station (also known as a standalone base station or a monolithic base station) or a disaggregated base station. “Network entity” or “network node” may refer to a disaggregated base station, or to one or more units of a disaggregated base station (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs, or a combination thereof).

[0076] An aggregated base station (e.g., an aggregated network node) may be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or unit). A disaggregated base station (e.g., a disaggregated network node) may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among two or more units (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some examples, a CU may be implemented within a network node, and one or more DUs may be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, may be geographically or virtually distributed throughout one or multiple other network nodes. The DUs may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU and RU also can be implemented as virtual units, such as a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU), among other examples.

[0077] Base station-type operation or network design may consider aggregation characteristics of base station functionality. For example, disaggregated base stations may be utilized in an IAB network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (such as the network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also known as a cloud radio access network (C-RAN)) to facilitate scaling of communication systems by separating base station functionality into one or more units that can be individually deployed. A disaggregated base station may include functionality implemented across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as functionality implemented for at least one unit virtually, which can enable flexibility in network design. The various units of the disaggregated base station can be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the disaggregated base station.

[0078] Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example disaggregated base station architecture 300, in accordance with the present disclosure. The disaggregated base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310 that can communicate directly with a core network 320 via a backhaul link, or indirectly with the core network 320 through one or more disaggregated control units (such as a Near-RT RIC 325 via an E2 link, or a Non-RT RIC 315 associated with a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) Framework 305, or both). A CU 310 may communicate with one or more DUs 330 via respective midhaul links, such as through Fl interfaces. Each of the DUs 330 may communicate with one or more RUs 340 via respective fronthaul links. Each of the RUs 340 may communicate with one or more UEs 120 via respective radio frequency (RF) access links. In some implementations, a UE 120 may be simultaneously served by multiple RUs 340.

[0079] Each of the units, including the CUs 310, the DUs 330, the RUs 340, as well as the

Near-RT RICs 325, the Non-RT RICs 315, and the SMO Framework 305, may include one or more interfaces or be coupled with one or more interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals, data, or information (collectively, signals) via a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each of the units, or an associated processor or controller providing instructions to one or multiple communication interfaces of the respective unit, can be configured to communicate with one or more of the other units via the transmission medium. In some examples, each of the units can include a wired interface, configured to receive or transmit signals over a wired transmission medium to one or more of the other units, and a wireless interface, which may include a receiver, a transmitter or transceiver (such as an RF transceiver), configured to receive or transmit signals, or both, over a wireless transmission medium to one or more of the other units.

[0080] In some aspects, the CU 310 may host one or more higher layer control functions. Such control functions can include radio resource control (RRC) functions, packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) functions, or service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) functions, among other examples. Each control function can be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other control functions hosted by the CU 310. The CU 310 may be configured to handle user plane functionality (for example, Central Unit - User Plane (CU-UP) functionality), control plane functionality (for example, Central Unit - Control Plane (CU-CP) functionality), or a combination thereof. In some implementations, the CU 310 can be logically split into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. A CU-UP unit can communicate bidirectionally with a CU-CP unit via an interface, such as the El interface when implemented in an O-RAN configuration. The CU 310 can be implemented to communicate with a DU 330, as necessary, for network control and signaling.

[0081] Each DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions to control the operation of one or more RUs 340. In some aspects, the DU 330 may host one or more of a radio link control (RLC) layer, a MAC layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers depending, at least in part, on a functional split, such as a functional split defined by the 3GPP. In some aspects, the one or more high PHY layers may be implemented by one or more modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and modulation and demodulation, among other examples. In some aspects, the DU 330 may further host one or more low PHY layers, such as implemented by one or more modules for a fast Fourier transform (FFT), an inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, or physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, among other examples. Each layer (which also may be referred to as a module) can be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 330, or with the control functions hosted by the CU 310.

[0082] Each RU 340 may implement lower-layer functionality. In some deployments, an RU 340, controlled by a DU 330, may correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions or low-PHY layer functions, such as performing an FFT, performing an iFFT, digital beamforming, or PRACH extraction and filtering, among other examples, based on a functional split (for example, a functional split defined by the 3GPP), such as a lower layer functional split. In such an architecture, each RU 340 can be operated to handle over the air (OTA) communication with one or more UEs 120. In some implementations, real-time and non-real- time aspects of control and user plane communication with the RU(s) 340 can be controlled by the corresponding DU 330. In some scenarios, this configuration can enable each DU 330 and the CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture. [0083] The SMO Framework 305 may be configured to support RAN deployment and provisioning of non-virtualized and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO Framework 305 may be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which may be managed via an operations and maintenance interface (such as an 01 interface). For virtualized network elements, the SMO Framework 305 may be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (such as an open cloud (O-Cloud) platform 390) to perform network element life cycle management (such as to instantiate virtualized network elements) via a cloud computing platform interface (such as an 02 interface). Such virtualized network elements can include, but are not limited to, CUs 310, DUs 330, RUs 340, non-RT RICs 315, and Near-RT RICs 325. In some implementations, the SMO Framework 305 can communicate with a hardware aspect of a 4G RAN, such as an open eNB (O-eNB) 311, via an 01 interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO Framework 305 can communicate directly with each of one or more RUs 340 via a respective 01 interface. The SMO Framework 305 also may include a Non-RT RIC 315 configured to support functionality of the SMO Framework 305.

[0084] The Non-RT RIC 315 may be configured to include a logical function that enables non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) workflows including model training and updates, or policy-based guidance of applications/features in the Near-RT RIC 325. The Non-RT RIC 315 may be coupled to or communicate with (such as via an Al interface) the Near-RT RIC 325. The Near-RT RIC 325 may be configured to include a logical function that enables near-realtime control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via data collection and actions over an interface (such as via an E2 interface) connecting one or more CUs 310, one or more DUs 330, or both, as well as an O-eNB, with the Near-RT RIC 325.

[0085] In some implementations, to generate AI/ML models to be deployed in the Near-RT RIC 325, the Non-RT RIC 315 may receive parameters or external enrichment information from external servers. Such information may be utilized by the Near-RT RIC 325 and may be received at the SMO Framework 305 or the Non-RT RIC 315 from non-network data sources or from network functions. In some examples, the Non-RT RIC 315 or the Near-RT RIC 325 may be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the Non-RT RIC 315 may monitor long-term trends and patterns for performance and employ AI/ML models to perform corrective actions through the SMO Framework 305 (such as reconfiguration via an 01 interface) or via creation of RAN management policies (such as Al interface policies).4 is a diagram illustrating examples 400 and 410 ofNTN deployments. The example 400 and/or the example 410 may be, be similar to, include, or be included in, a wireless network such as the wireless network 100 shown in, and described in connection with, Fig. 1.

[0086] Example 400 shows a conceptual depiction of a regenerative satellite deployment. In example 400, a UE 120 is served by a non-terrestrial network node 420 via a service link 430. For example, the non-terrestrial network node 420 may include a network node 110 (e.g., NN 110a) such as a base station, a gNB, or more functions (e.g., RF filtering, frequency conversion, amplification, demodulation, decoding, switching, routing, coding, and/or modulation, among other examples) of a network node 110 and/or a disaggregated base station architecture 300, among other examples. Although illustrated as a satellite, the non-terrestrial network node 420 may be implemented as any type of non-terrestrial device, as described above in connection with Fig. 1.

[0087] The service link 430 may include an NR-Uu interface that is terminated at the nonterrestrial network node 420. In some aspects, the non-terrestrial network node 420 may be referred to as a non-terrestrial base station, a regenerative repeater, and/or an on-board processing repeater, among other examples. In some aspects, the non-terrestrial network node 420 may demodulate an uplink radio frequency signal, and may modulate a baseband signal derived from the uplink radio signal to produce a downlink radio frequency transmission. The non-terrestrial network node 420 may transmit the downlink radio frequency signal on the service link 430. The non-terrestrial network node 420 may provide a cell that covers the UE 120.

[0088] Example 410 shows a transparent satellite deployment, which may also be referred to as a bent-pipe satellite deployment. In example 410, a UE 120 is served by a non-terrestrial network node 440 (e.g., a satellite) via the service link 430. The non-terrestrial network node 440 may be referred to as a transparent satellite, a bent-pipe satellite, and/or a non-terrestrial relay station, among other examples. The non-terrestrial network node 440 may relay a signal received from a terrestrial network node 110, via an NTN gateway 450. The non-terrestrial network node 440 may repeat an NR-Uu interface via a feeder link 460. The NTN gateway 450 may communicatively connect the non-terrestrial network node 440 and the network node 110 using an RF link 470. For example, the non-terrestrial network node 440 may receive an uplink radio frequency transmission, and may transmit a downlink radio frequency transmission without demodulating the uplink radio frequency transmission. In some aspects, the nonterrestrial network node 440 may frequency convert the uplink radio frequency transmission received on the service link 430 to a frequency of the downlink radio frequency transmission on the feeder link 460, and may amplify and/or filter the uplink radio frequency transmission. In some aspects, the UEs 120 shown in example 400 and example 410 may be associated with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capability, and/or a Global Positioning System (GPS) capability, among other examples, though not all UEs have such capabilities. The nonterrestrial network node 440 may provide and/or facilitate a cell that covers the UE 120.

[0089] The service link 430 may include a link between the non-terrestrial network node 440 and the UE 120, and may include one or more of an uplink or a downlink. The feeder link 460 may include a link between the non-terrestrial network node 440 and the gateway 450, and may include one or more parts of an uplink (e.g., from the UE 120 to the gateway 450) or a downlink (e.g., from the gateway 450 to the UE 120).

[0090] The feeder link 460 and the service link 430 may each experience Doppler effects due to the movement of the non-terrestrial network node 420 and 440, and potentially movement of a UE 120. These Doppler effects may be significantly larger than in a terrestrial network. The Doppler effect on the feeder link 460 may be compensated for to some degree, but may still be associated with some amount of uncompensated frequency error. Furthermore, the gateway 450 may be associated with a residual frequency error, and/or the non-terrestrial network node 420/440 may be associated with an on-board frequency error. These sources of frequency error may cause a received downlink frequency at the UE 120 to drift from a target downlink frequency.

[0091] To mitigate the Doppler effect and/or frequency errors and/or to facilitate synchronization, access procedures, and/or other communications, the non-terrestrial network node 420 and/or 440 may provide ephemeris information to the UE 120. The UE 120 may use the ephemeris information, for example, to adjust communication parameters based on a location and/or trajectory of the non-terrestrial device. In some cases, the ephemeris information can include a large number of different types of information such as, for example, satellite position and velocity state vectors and parameters. The position vector may include coordinates x, y, and z associated with an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate system. The velocity vector may include coordinates V_x, V_y, and U associated with the ECEF coordinate system. The parameters may be provided in orbital parameter ephemeris format and may indicate, for example, a semi-major axis, an eccentricity, an argument of periapsis, a longitude of ascending node, an inclination, and/or a mean anomaly at an epoch time, among other examples.

[0092] The ephemeris format described above may not be suitable for HAPS implementations. A HAPS, as defined by ITU Radio Regulations, Section IV. Radio Stations and Systems - Article 1.66, is “a station on an object at an altitude of 20 to 50 km and at a specified, nominal, fixed point relative to the Earth.” Accordingly, for example, a HAPS moves at a speed much slower than that of a satellite. Additionally, the maximum service link distance can be too large for physical random access channel (PRACH) formats to support.

Additionally, maintaining stationkeeping of a HAPS can be difficult in windy conditions, e.g., when the HAPS is deployed at an altitude lower than 20km. For position, velocity, time (PVT) systems, the ranges of position, and of velocity for a HAPS are much smaller than those of a satellite. The notion of Keplerian orbital parameters also does not apply to HAPS.

Accordingly, using a satellite ephemeris format for HAPS implementations may lead to inaccuracies and inefficiencies in estimating position and movement of a HAPS, thereby having a negative impact on network performance.

[0093] Some aspects of techniques and apparatuses described herein may facilitate providing motion information associated with a HAPS to a UE that the UE may use to facilitate communications. In some aspects, a HAPS may transmit, and a UE may receive, motion information associated with the HAPS. The UE may communicate with the HAPS based at least in part on the motion information. Motion information may include position information, velocity information, and/or trajectory information, among other examples associated with a position and/or movement of a HAPS. In this way, some aspects of the subject matter disclosed herein may facilitate providing appropriate motion information associated with a HAPS to a UE for facilitating communications with the UE. As a result, some aspects described herein may lead to improved accuracies and efficiencies in estimating position and movement of a HAPS, thereby having a positive impact on network performance.

[0094] As indicated above, Fig. 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 4.

[0095] Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 of indicating motion information associated with a HAPS, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 5, a UE 505 and a network node 510 may communicate with one another. As is also shown, a neighbor network node 515 may communicate with the UE 505. In some aspects, any number of additional UEs and/or neighbor network nodes may communicate with one another. In some aspects, the network node 510 and/or the network node 515 may include a HAPS, a base station, and/or a gateway, among other examples. [0096] As shown by reference number 520, the UE 505 may transmit, and the network node 510 may receive, a motion information request. In some aspects, the UE 505 may transmit the motion information request while operating in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode, an RRC inactive mode, or an RRC connected mode. In some aspects, while the UE is operating in an RRC connected mode, the motion information request may include a trajectory indication request. In some aspects, the motion information request may include a neighbor trajectory indication request. The neighbor trajectory indication request may be transmitted to the network node 510. As shown by reference number 525, the UE 505 may transmit, and the neighbor network node 515 may receive, a motion information request (e.g., a neighbor network node trajectory indication request).

[0097] As shown by reference number 530, the network node 510 may transmit, and the UE 505 may receive, motion information associated with the network node 510. In some aspects, the network node 510 may transmit, and therefore the UE 505 may receive, the motion information in response to a motion information request. As shown by reference number 535, the neighbor network node 515 may transmit, and the UE 505 may receive, motion information associated with the neighbor network node 515. In some aspects, the network node 510 and/or the neighbor network node 515 may transmit the motion information using a broadcast transmission of a system information block (SIB) that includes the motion information, an RRC message that includes the motion information, a medium access control control element (MAC CE) that includes the motion information, and/or a downlink control information (DCI) transmission that includes the motion information, among other examples.

[0098] In some aspects, the motion information may include information associated with at least one of a position of the network node 510 or a velocity of the network node 510. In some aspects, the motion information may indicate a delay pre -compensation to be applied by the UE 505 to uplink transmissions to the network node 510. For example, the delay pre-compensation may include at least one of a number of slots, a number of symbols, a period value Tc (e.g., 1/(480000x4096) seconds), or a multiple of the period value Tc.

[0099] In some aspects, the motion information may indicate a position of the network node 510. The motion information may include a current position indication that indicates a current position of the network node 510. In some aspects, the current position indication may indicate a GNSS location of the network node 510, a location of the network node 510 with respect to a local coordinate system (e.g., the North, East, down (NED) system, and/or the East, North, up (ENU) system), and/or a location of the network node 510 with respect to an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate system. In some aspects, the motion information may indicate an altitude of the network node 510. [0100] In some aspects, the motion information may include a target position indication that indicates a target position of the network node 510 and a deviation indication that indicates a deviation of the network node 510 from the target position. In some aspects, the target position may include a prior position, a current position, a position identified as an average position, and/or an otherwise specified position, among other examples. In some aspects, the target position indication may indicate a GNSS target location of the network node 510, a target location of the network node 510 with respect to a local coordinate system, and/or a target location of the network node 510 with respect to an ECEF coordinate system, among other examples.

[0101] In some aspects, the deviation may be broadcast at a higher frequency (e.g., more often) than the target position, and may be in a SIB different from the SIB for the target position. For example, the network node 510 may transmit, and the UE 505 may receive, a first communication that includes the target position indication and a second communication that includes the deviation indication. The first communication may include a first SIB and the second communication may include a second SIB that is different than the first SIB. In some aspects, the network node 510 may transmit, and the UE 505 may receive, at least one instance of a first communication that includes the target position indication and a plurality of instances of a second communication that include the deviation indication. For example, the network node 510 may transmit, and the UE 505 may receive, a plurality of instances of the first communication based at least in part on a first repetition frequency and the plurality of instances of the second communication based at least in part on a second repetition frequency that is higher than the first repetition frequency.

[0102] In some aspects, the motion information may be associated with a time instant. The motion information may include a time instant indication that indicates the time instant. In some aspects, the time instant indication may indicate the time instant in accordance with a coordinated universal time. In some aspects, the time instant indication may include an implicit indication. For example, in some aspects, the time instant indication may include a start of a downlink frame in which the motion information is transmitted. In some aspects, the time instant indication may include the frame boundary of a frame immediately after the motion information is transmitted. In some aspects, the motion information also may include a velocity indication that indicates a velocity of the network node 510.

[0103] In some aspects, the network node 510 and/or the neighbor network node 515 may transmit, and the UE 505 may receive, motion information associated with at least one additional network node (e.g., the neighbor network node 515). The indication may be carried in a SIB and/or in a response (e.g., RRC, MAC CE) to a request from the UE 505. In some aspects, the motion information associated with the at least one additional network node may include a position indication that indicates a position of the at least one additional network node, a velocity indication that indicates a velocity of the at least one additional network node, and/or an identifier associated with the at least one additional network node, among other examples. For example, in some aspects, the identifier may include a cell identifier associated with the at least one additional network node. The cell identifier may include a physical cell identifier (PCI).

[0104] In some aspects, the network node 510 may follow a trajectory, and the network node 510 can indicate the trajectory to the UE 505. Trajectory indications may support long-term predictions of the position of the network node 510. Additionally, using trajectory information, the UE 505 may save frequent SIB readings for network node location related information so that the information may be reused, thereby reducing signaling overhead.

[0105] In some aspects, the motion information may include a trajectory indication that indicates trajectory information associated with the network node 510. The trajectory indication may indicate a sequence of position indications. Each position indication may indicate a position of the network node 510 at a corresponding time instant. In some aspects, each position indication may indicate a GNSS location of the network node, a location of the network node with respect to a local coordinate system, and/or a location of the network node with respect to an ECEF coordinate system, among other examples.

[0106] In some aspects, each position indication may include a time instant indication that indicates a corresponding time instant. In some aspects, the time instant indication may indicate the corresponding time instant in accordance with a coordinated universal time (UTC). In some aspects, the time instant indication may indicate the corresponding time instant in accordance with a GNSS time. In some aspects, the time instant indication may indicate the corresponding time instant in accordance with a local time. In some aspects, each position indication may include an implicit indication that indicates the corresponding time instant. For example, the implicit indication may include an indication of a downlink frame boundary (e.g., every 1000 frames after the downlink frame in which the trajectory information is transmitted).

[0107] In some aspects, the UE 505 may receive, from the network node 510 and/or the neighbor network node 515, a neighbor trajectory indication that indicates trajectory information associated with at least one additional network node. The neighbor trajectory indication may indicate a sequence of neighbor position indications. Each neighbor position indication may indicate a position of the at least one additional network node at a corresponding time instant. Each neighbor position indication may indicate a GNSS location of the at least one additional network node, a location of the at least one additional network node with respect to a local coordinate system, and/or a location of the at least one additional network node with respect to an ECEF coordinate system, among other examples. In some aspects, each position indication may include a time instant indication that indicates the corresponding time instant. The time instant indication may indicate the corresponding time instant in accordance with a UTC. Each neighbor position indication may include an implicit indication that indicates the corresponding time instant. For example, the implicit indication may include an indication of a downlink frame boundary.

[0108] As shown by reference number 540, the UE 505 may determine at least one trajectory associated with the network node 510 based at least in part on the trajectory indication. For example, in some aspects, the UE 505 may determine the at least one trajectory by performing an interpolation operation associated with the trajectory indication. In some aspects, the UE 505 may determine at least one trajectory associated with the at least one additional network node based at least in part on the neighbor trajectory indication. In some aspects, the UE 505 may determine the at least one trajectory by performing an interpolation operation associated with the neighbor trajectory indication.

[0109] As shown by reference number 545, the UE 505 may communicate with the network node 510 based at least in part on the motion information.

[0110] As indicated above, Fig. 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 5.

[0111] Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example process 600 performed, for example, by a UE, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process 600 is an example where the UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with indicating motion information associated with a HAPS.

[0112] As shown in Fig. 6, in some aspects, process 600 may include receiving, from a network node, motion information associated with a high-altitude platform station (HAPS) (block 610). For example, the UE (e.g., using communication manager 140 and/or reception component 1202, depicted in Fig. 12) may receive, from a network node, motion information associated with a high-altitude platform station (HAPS), as described above.

[0113] As further shown in Fig. 6, in some aspects, process 600 may include communicating with at least one of the network node or a different network node based at least in part on the motion information (block 620).
