Samsung patents faster 5G/6G signal timing for mobile devices
Samsung has filed a patent for a method that helps mobile devices quickly adjust their signal timing when switching between network cells. The system uses specific messages from the base station to trigger this adjustment early, aiming to improve data transmission rates in 5G and 6G networks.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6th generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information associated with an early timing advance (TA) acquisition; receiving, from the base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order related to triggering a random access associated with the early TA acquisition on a lower layer triggered mobility (LTM) candidate cell; and performing the random access associated with the early TA acquisition triggered by the PDCCH order, based on the configuration information.
