| contents | This paper investigates the localization, synchronization, and speed estimation of a mobile user equipment (UE) leveraging integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), in particular low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. We focus on a minimal setup in which the UE received signal from only one base station (BS) and one LEO satellite. We derive a generic signal model accounting for mobility, clock and frequency offsets, based on which a hierarchy of simplified models are proposed and organized by computational complexity. Estimation algorithms are developed for each model to facilitate efficient and accurate parameter recovery. Rigorous simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed models, demonstrating their suitability across diverse scenarios. The findings highlight how the trade-off between complexity and performance can be optimized for varying deployment environments and application requirements, offering valuable insights for 6G positioning and synchronization systems under user mobility. |
