TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING A SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17532567 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING A SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation involves a first communication device transmitting a reference signal and an offset to a second communication device. The offset represents the difference between a first beam associated with the reference signal and a second beam associated with a data signal. The second communication device performs measurements on the reference signal and, using these measurements and the offset, determines a beam for the first communication device to transmit communications. The second communication device then transmits an interference message corresponding to the second beam, and the first communication device uses this beam to transmit its communications.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first communication device may transmit a reference signal and an offset to a second communication device. The offset may be between a first beam associated with the reference signal and a second beam associated with a data signal. The second communication device may perform measurements on the reference signal and use such measurements, in conjunction with the offset, to determine a beam for the first communication device to transmit communications. The second communication device may transmit an interference message corresponding to the second beam. The first communication device may transmit communications via the second beam.
