POWER ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS FOR DOWNLINK SIGNALING BASED ON RECEIVED POWER OVERLOADING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17544287 titled 'POWER ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS FOR DOWNLINK SIGNALING BASED ON RECEIVED POWER OVERLOADING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces a technique where a user equipment (UE) can inform a base station when the total received power exceeds a certain threshold, indicating an overload situation. The UE can explicitly request a decrease in transmit power by a specific amount or provide a generic indication of the overload. Multiple transmit/receive points (TRPs) can receive these indications, and they can coordinate to reduce their respective transmit powers to address the overload at the UE. The base station can allocate different sets of resources for near field UEs and far field UEs.
- User equipment (UE) can notify a base station when the received power exceeds a threshold
- UE can request a specific reduction in transmit power or provide a generic indication of overload
- Multiple transmit/receive points (TRPs) can receive these indications
- TRPs can coordinate to reduce their transmit powers to address the overload at the UE
- Base station can allocate different sets of resources for near field UEs and far field UEs
Potential Applications
This technology can have various applications in wireless communications, including:
- Improving network efficiency by reducing overload situations
- Enhancing user experience by maintaining optimal signal quality
- Enabling better coordination between multiple transmit/receive points (TRPs)
- Supporting different resource allocations for near field and far field UEs
Problems Solved
The technology addresses several problems in wireless communications, such as:
- Overload situations where the total received power exceeds a threshold
- Inefficient power usage due to excessive transmit power
- Lack of coordination between TRPs to address overload situations
- Difficulty in managing resource allocation for different types of UEs
Benefits
The use of this technology offers several benefits, including:
- Improved network performance and efficiency
- Enhanced user experience with better signal quality
- Reduced power consumption by optimizing transmit power
- Effective coordination between TRPs to address overload situations
- Flexibility in resource allocation for different types of UEs
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may transmit an indication to a base station that a total received power for the UE exceeds an overload threshold. In some cases, the indication may be an explicit request for a decrease in transmit power by a specific amount of reduction. The UE may transmit indications that the overload threshold is exceeded to multiple transmit/receive points. The indications may request specific transmit power reduction amounts that are specific to the TRPs, or may be generic indications that the overload threshold is exceeded, and the TRPs may coordinate to reduce their respective transmit powers to satisfy the overload threshold at the UE. The base station may allocate a first set of resources for near field UEs and a second set of resources for far field UEs.
