BEAM SELECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17745081 titled 'BEAM SELECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for improving data transmission rates in 5G or 6G communication systems compared to 4G systems like LTE. The method involves a receiving apparatus in a wireless communication system.

  • The receiving apparatus receives reference signals from a transmitting apparatus.
  • It estimates the channel component values of the reference signals.
  • It determines if any of the channel component values are equal to or greater than a certain threshold.
  • If there is at least one reference channel component value above the threshold, it selects a candidate beam.
  • It then checks if the signal quality of the candidate beam is equal to or greater than another threshold.
  • If the signal quality meets the second threshold, the candidate beam is selected as the final beam.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved data transmission rates in 5G and 6G communication systems.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of wireless communication.
  • Better support for high-bandwidth applications like video streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overcoming the limitations of 4G communication systems in terms of data transmission rates.
  • Optimizing the selection of beams for improved signal quality and performance.
  • Addressing the challenges of high-speed and high-capacity wireless communication.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Higher data transmission rates compared to 4G systems.
  • Improved signal quality and reliability in wireless communication.
  • Enhanced user experience for bandwidth-intensive applications.
  • Potential for new and innovative services and applications in 5G and 6G networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates than 4G communication systems such as LTE systems. A method performed by a receiving apparatus in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving reference signals from a transmitting apparatus, estimating respective channel component values of the reference signals, determining whether at least one reference channel component value which is equal to or greater than a first threshold is present among the channel component values of the reference signals, selecting a candidate beam based on the at least one reference channel component value in case that the at least one reference channel component value is present, determining whether a value of signal quality of the first candidate beam is equal to or greater than a second threshold, and selecting the candidate beam as a final beam in case that the value of signal quality of the candidate beam is equal to or greater than the second threshold.
