Group Based Beam Reporting Enhancement for L1-RSRP and L1-SINR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17754462 titled 'Group Based Beam Reporting Enhancement for L1-RSRP and L1-SINR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a base station configuring a user equipment (UE) to perform measurements, specifically for channel state information (CSI) reports. The UE is configured to receive beamformed reference signals (RS) from different transmission and reception points (TRP) simultaneously, select beams from these RS resources, and provide measurements in the CSI report.

  • The base station configures the UE for CSI measurements with indications of RS resources for different TRPs.
  • The UE selects beams from the beamformed RS resources for different TRPs.
  • The UE provides measurements for the selected beams in the CSI report.

Potential Applications

  • 5G and beyond wireless communication systems
  • Beamforming technology in cellular networks
  • Massive MIMO systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient beamforming for simultaneous reception of multiple RS resources
  • Improved channel state information reporting
  • Enhanced communication reliability and performance

Benefits

  • Increased spectral efficiency
  • Better signal quality and coverage
  • Enhanced user experience in wireless communication.


Original Abstract Submitted

A base station configures a user equipment (UE) to perform measurements. The base station configures the UE for at least one channel state information (CSI) measurement report including an indication of first reference signal (RS) resources for a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and second RS resources for a second TRP, the first RS resources comprising a first plurality of beamformed RS and the second RS resource comprising a second plurality of beamformed RS to be received simultaneously at the UE, wherein the UE is further configured to select a first beam from the first plurality of beamformed RS and a second beam from the second plurality of beamformed RS and receives the at least one CSI measurement report comprising measurements for the first beam and the second beam.
