The various embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for uplink scheduling schemes for low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite based Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN). According to an embodiment, a zone-based scheduling (ZBS) scheme is described where the coverage area may be divided into a plurality of zones and independent scheduling-offsets may be allocated for each of the zones. The ZBS scheme improves upon the overall user latency by reducing the K2 and cell offset delay for low-propagation delay users within the NTN cells. At the same time, the impact of differential doppler may also be mitigated with such a zone-based allcoation strategy.

Methods for scheduling uplink transmissions for non-terrestrial networks

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for scheduling shared physical resource blocks (PRBs) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network and minimizing/reducing contention on the shared PRBs. The method includes: receiving PRBs from a network device, where the PRBs are shared among multiple UEs in the wireless network; detecting data at the UE for transmission; determining a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a number of PRBs, and a size of a transport block required for data transmission in response to detecting the data; self-scheduling the shared PRBs based on at least one of the determined MCS, the number of PRBs, and the size of the transport block; and sending the data based on the self-scheduling along with self-scheduling information to the network device.

Method and system for resource selection and contention resolution in shared resource mechanism

An example method for managing a UAV control operation includes periodically receiving a request for transmission of UAV assistance information from a network entity and establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the network entity. In response to the received request, the method further includes determining a triggering of at least one event corresponding to an initiation of a UAV control operation and transmitting UAV assistance information to the network entity in an RRC connected state based on the determined triggering of the at least one event. The method further includes receiving a control message from the network entity in response to the transmitted UAV assistance information. The control message includes information related to an execution of the UAV control operation. Thereafter, the method further includes executing the UAV control operation based on the information included in the received control message.

Method and system for managing a control operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle

The present subject matter refers methods and systems to determine location for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method comprises receiving information from a network entity, the information indicating that the plurality of terrestrial UEs form a cluster, determining whether at least one of a plurality of predefined events is triggered. The method comprises determining the location of the UAV by: receiving cluster information related to the cluster, determining circular trajectory of the cluster using the cluster information, receiving a first average data rate of the cluster at each of a plurality of locations along a circumference of the circular trajectory, determining an optimal down-tilt angle and an optimal bearing angle of an antenna panel of the UAV, and determining the location of the UAV based on the optimal down-tilt angle and the optimal bearing angle.
