OPTIMIZATIONS FOR SIDELINK USER EQUIPMENT FOR INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17385175 titled 'OPTIMIZATIONS FOR SIDELINK USER EQUIPMENT FOR INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces a central unit (CU) function of a base station that identifies a first set of user equipment (UE) to communicate via sidelink communications with a distributed unit associated with the central unit. The CU function determines a specific configuration for the distributed unit to use for sidelink communications with the first set of UE, which is different from the configuration used by other nodes associated with the base station for sidelink communications with a second set of UE.
- The central unit (CU) function of a base station identifies a specific set of user equipment (UE) for sidelink communications.
- A distributed unit associated with the central unit is responsible for communicating with the identified set of UE.
- The CU function determines a unique configuration for the distributed unit to use for sidelink communications with the identified set of UE.
- This configuration is different from the configuration used by other nodes associated with the base station for sidelink communications with a different set of UE.
- The CU function provides the distributed unit with an indication of the determined configuration.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improving wireless communication efficiency by allowing specific configurations for different sets of user equipment.
- Enhancing the performance of integrated access and backhaul providers by optimizing their sidelink communications.
- Enabling better coordination and management of wireless networks by assigning unique configurations to different nodes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Addressing the need for customized configurations in wireless communications to optimize performance.
- Overcoming limitations in existing systems that use the same configuration for all nodes in a base station.
- Improving the efficiency and reliability of sidelink communications in wireless networks.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced performance and efficiency in wireless communications.
- Improved coordination and management of wireless networks.
- Increased reliability and optimized performance for integrated access and backhaul providers.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A central unit (CU) function of a base station may identify a first set of user equipment (UE) to communicate via sidelink communications with a distributed unit associated with the central unit. The CU function may determine, based at least in part on the distributed unit being an integrated access and backhaul provider to the first set of UE, a first configuration for the distributed unit to use for sidelink communications with the first set of UE, the first configuration different than a second configuration for one or more nodes associated with the base station to use for sidelink communications with a second set of UE in communication with the base station. The CU function may provide an indication of the first configuration to the distributed unit.
