ANTENNA PANEL CONFIGURATION AFTER REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17935457 titled 'ANTENNA PANEL CONFIGURATION AFTER REPORTING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a technique for configuring a user equipment (UE) to communicate with a network entity based on a selected antenna panel reported to the network entity.
- The method involves transmitting a report to the network entity, providing information about the antenna panel selected for communication between the UE and the network entity.
- A starting time and a wait time are selected to apply a configuration associated with the selected antenna panel.
- An update timer is activated based on the starting time and wait time.
- After the update timer expires, the UE communicates with the network entity based on the configuration associated with the selected antenna panel.
Potential Applications
- This technique can be applied in wireless communication systems where multiple antenna panels are used for communication between user equipment and network entities.
- It can be used in cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, or any other wireless communication networks that utilize antenna panels.
Problems Solved
- The technique solves the problem of efficiently configuring a UE to communicate with a network entity based on a selected antenna panel.
- It ensures that the UE and network entity are synchronized in terms of the antenna panel configuration, improving the overall communication performance.
Benefits
- The technique allows for optimized communication between the UE and network entity by selecting the appropriate antenna panel.
- It improves the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems by ensuring proper synchronization and configuration.
- The method reduces interference and enhances signal quality, leading to better overall network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring a user equipment (UE) to communicate with a network entity based on a selected antenna panel reported to a network entity. An example method generally includes transmitting, to a network entity, a report including information associated with an antenna panel selected for communications between the user equipment and the network entity; selecting a starting time and a wait time to apply a configuration associated with the selected antenna panel; activating an update timer based on the starting time and the wait time; and communicating with the network entity based on the configuration associated with the selected antenna panel after expiry of the update timer.
