REPEATER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH SUB-BAND POWER MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17384694 titled 'REPEATER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH SUB-BAND POWER MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes a wireless communication system that uses sub-band power measurements to operate repeaters more effectively. The repeaters can also gather additional information such as TDD downlink/uplink information or beam configuration information more accurately.
- The repeater measures the power of signals in different sub-bands of the available bandwidth for wireless communication.
- It amplifies the signals received within one or more sub-bands.
- The amplified signals are then transmitted to either a user equipment (UE) or a base station.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including:
- Cellular networks
- Wi-Fi networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
Problems Solved
The use of sub-band power measurements in repeaters helps address the following issues:
- Inaccurate acquisition of TDD downlink/uplink information or beam configuration information.
- Inefficient operation of repeaters in wireless communication systems.
Benefits
The use of sub-band power measurements in repeaters offers several benefits:
- Improved accuracy in acquiring side information, leading to better overall performance.
- Enhanced efficiency and effectiveness of repeaters in amplifying and transmitting signals.
- Increased reliability and stability of wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support techniques for operating repeaters based on sub-band power measurements. According to some aspects, sub-band-based power measurements may also allow a repeater to acquire other side information, e.g., time division duplex (TDD) downlink/uplink information or beam configuration information, more accurately. In aspects, a repeater determines one or more sub-band received-signal powers associated with one or more sub-bands of a bandwidth available for wireless communication, amplifies one or more signals received within at least one of the one or more sub-bands, and transmits the amplified one or more signals to at least one of a user equipment (UE) or a base station.
