==UPLINK COVERAGE USING JOINT PHASE-TIME ARRAYS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149602 titled 'UPLINK COVERAGE USING JOINT PHASE-TIME ARRAYS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for improving uplink coverage in a base station using joint phase-time arrays (JTPAs).
* JTPA beamforming is used to enhance signaling with a subset of user equipments (UEs) in a cell, based on specific criteria associated with those UEs.
* Analog beamforming is used for signaling with another subset of UEs in the cell.
* The goal is to optimize the uplink coverage and improve the overall performance of the base station.
* This innovation can potentially enhance the efficiency and reliability of uplink communications in cellular networks.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods and apparatuses for uplink (UL) coverage enhancements with joint phase-time arrays (JTPAs). A method for operating a base station (BS) includes identifying criteria associated with a set of user equipments (UEs) in a cell of the BS and determining, based on the criteria, a first subset of the set of UEs to use a JPTA beamforming. The method further includes using the JPTA beamforming for signaling with the first subset of UEs and using an analog beamforming for signaling with a second subset of UEs in the set of UEs.
