TECHNIQUES FOR DYNAMIC BEAM CORRESPONDENCE FOR MITIGATION OF BLOCKAGE CONDITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17453737 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR DYNAMIC BEAM CORRESPONDENCE FOR MITIGATION OF BLOCKAGE CONDITIONS

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

The patent application relates to wireless communication and describes a method for a user equipment (UE) to determine and handle blockage conditions associated with antenna elements. The UE deactivates a set of antenna elements based on the blockage condition and transmits an indication of a beam correspondence state. The UE then communicates using the remaining activated antenna elements.

Explanation

  • User equipment (UE) determines blockage condition on antenna elements
  • UE deactivates a set of antenna elements based on the blockage condition
  • Indication of beam correspondence state is transmitted
  • UE communicates using the remaining activated antenna elements

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Mobile devices
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • 5G and beyond networks

Problems Solved

  • Improves wireless communication performance in the presence of blockage conditions
  • Reduces interference and signal degradation caused by blockages
  • Enhances reliability and quality of wireless connections

Benefits

  • Improved signal quality and reliability
  • Enhanced performance in challenging environments
  • Efficient use of antenna resources
  • Better user experience in wireless communication


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a blockage condition associated with at least one antenna element of a plurality of antenna elements. The UE may deactivate a set of antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements based at least in part on the determination of the blockage condition, wherein the set of antenna elements includes the at least one antenna element. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on deactivating the set of antenna elements, an indication of a beam correspondence state. The UE may communicate using an activated set of antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements. Numerous other aspects are described.
