INTER-BASE STATION BEAM MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17529040 titled 'INTER-BASE STATION BEAM MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation focuses on achieving inter-base station beam management to avoid interference during different types of operations, such as full-duplex (FD), half-duplex (HD), or flexible time-domain duplexing (TDD). The patent application proposes performing interference management specific to beam configurations to address this issue.
- The patent application introduces techniques for inter-base station beam management to prevent interference during wireless communications.
- It suggests proactive actions by an aggressor base station operating in full-duplex mode to determine if inter-base station interference may occur.
- The aggressor base station may request measurements from victim base stations to assess the potential for interference.
- Alternatively, victim base stations may request measurements from the aggressor base station to evaluate the interference situation.
- The victim base station can provide reactive feedback to the aggressor base station upon detecting interference.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and other wireless networks. It can be particularly useful in scenarios where multiple base stations are deployed in close proximity, such as urban areas or crowded event venues.
Problems Solved
Interference between base stations can significantly degrade the performance and reliability of wireless communication systems. This patent application addresses the problem of inter-base station interference during different types of operations, such as full-duplex, half-duplex, or flexible time-domain duplexing. By implementing specific interference management techniques based on beam configurations, the patent application aims to mitigate interference and improve overall system performance.
Benefits
The proposed techniques for inter-base station beam management offer several benefits:
- Improved wireless communication performance by reducing interference between base stations.
- Enhanced reliability and stability of wireless networks, especially in densely populated areas.
- Efficient utilization of available spectrum resources, leading to increased capacity and better user experience.
- Flexibility to adapt to different types of operations, such as full-duplex, half-duplex, or flexible time-domain duplexing, without compromising performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques to achieve inter-base station beam management to avoid interference during full-duplex (FD) operations, half-duplex (HD) operations, flexible time-domain duplexing (TDD), or a combination thereof, by performing interference management specific to beam configurations. For example, a first base station (e.g., an aggressor base station operating in FD) may perform one or more actions to proactively determine if inter-base station interference may occur. In some cases, the aggressor base station may request measurements from one or more victim base stations. In other examples, the victim base station may request measurements from the aggressor base station. Additionally or alternatively, the victim base station may provide reactive feedback to the aggressor base station upon detecting interference.
