POSE-BASED BEAMFORMING TECHNIQUES FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17389184 titled 'POSE-BASED BEAMFORMING TECHNIQUES FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications using extended reality (XR) applications. The technology enables beam selection based on user pose information, which includes the position of the user equipment (UE) and can also include predictive position information for future time periods.

• The technology uses pose information from an XR application to determine the position of the UE.
• Based on the UE's position, one or more beam parameters are requested.
• The UE can transmit a beam request to a base station for current or future time periods.
• The UE can request a switch between beams with different beamwidths or request a change in the beamwidth of an existing beam.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be used in wireless communications for extended reality (XR) applications, such as virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) experiences.
• It can improve the quality and reliability of wireless connections in XR applications by optimizing beam selection based on the user's position.

Problems Solved

• Traditional wireless communication systems may not consider the user's position or future position when selecting beams, leading to suboptimal performance in XR applications.
• This technology solves the problem of inefficient beam selection in XR applications by using pose information to determine the best beam parameters for the user's current and future positions.

Benefits

• By selecting beams based on user pose information, this technology can improve the overall user experience in XR applications by providing more stable and reliable wireless connections.
• It can also optimize network resources by dynamically adjusting beam parameters according to the user's position, leading to improved network efficiency.
• The technology allows for seamless switching between beams with different beamwidths, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of wireless communications in XR applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for beam selection based on user pose information provided by an extended reality (XR) application. The pose information may be used to determine a position of the UE, and one or more beam parameters may be requested based on the position of the UE. The position information of the UE may include position information for a current time period, predictive position information for one or more future time periods, or any combinations thereof. The UE may transmit a beam request to a base station for one or more beams for the current time period, for one or more future time periods, or any combinations thereof. The UE may request a switch between beams of differing beamwidths or having the same beamwidth, or request a change of a beamwidth of an existing beam.
