Abstract
A user equipment (UE) may receive a set of reference signals (RSs) from a set of non-terrestrial network (NTN) nodes. The set of RSs may travel from the set of NTN nodes to the UE through a first portion of an atmosphere and a second portion of the atmosphere. The UE may measure the set of RSs. The UE may calculate, based on the measured set of RSs, a first set of atmospheric delays associated with the first portion of the atmosphere and a second set of atmospheric delays associated with the second portion of the atmosphere. The UE may calculate a location of the UE based on the measured set of RSs, the first set of atmospheric delays, and the second set of atmospheric delays. The UE may transmit the calculated location of the UE. The first portion may include an ionosphere. The second portion may include a troposphere.
