BEAM SWITCHING IN NEAR-FIELD OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17456196 titled 'BEAM SWITCHING IN NEAR-FIELD OPERATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The UE receives an indication from a network entity about the mapping of multiple receive beams corresponding to a group of transmit and receive beam pairs. The grouping of these beam pairs is based on the distance between the UE and the network entity. The UE then selects one of the receive beams based on its distance from the network entity.
- The UE receives an indication about the mapping of multiple receive beams.
- The receive beams correspond to a group of transmit and receive beam pairs.
- The grouping of beam pairs is based on the distance between the UE and the network entity.
- The UE selects a receive beam based on its distance from the network entity.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved
- Efficient wireless communication in varying distances between the UE and the network entity.
- Optimizing the selection of receive beams based on distance.
Benefits
- Improved signal quality and reliability in wireless communication.
- Enhanced performance and coverage in mobile networks.
- Efficient use of resources in IoT devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). For example, the UE receives a first indication indicating a same quasi co-location (QCL) mapping for multiple receive beams corresponding to a group of transmit and receive beam pairs from a network entity. Transmit and receive beam pairs are different from each other and grouping of the transmit and receive beam pairs is based on a distance between the UE and the network entity. The UE selects one of the multiple receive beams corresponding to the group of transmit and receive beam pairs, based on the distance between the UE and the network entity.
