UPLINK TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATION STATE SIGNALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17758239 titled 'UPLINK TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATION STATE SIGNALING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to wireless communication and specifically to configuring uplink transmission in a user equipment (UE) based on radio resource control signaling.

  • The UE receives signaling from a base station that configures an uplink transmission configuration indication (TCI) state pool, which includes multiple candidate uplink TCI states associated with an uplink resource.
  • The base station transmits downlink signaling to the UE, identifying an uplink TCI state from the pool to be used for transmitting an uplink communication on the uplink resource.
  • The UE then transmits the uplink communication to the base station using an uplink transmit beam based on the identified uplink TCI state.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Cellular networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Mobile devices

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient configuration of uplink transmission in wireless communication systems
  • Optimizing the use of radio resources
  • Enhancing the reliability and performance of uplink communications

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved uplink transmission efficiency
  • Enhanced reliability and performance of uplink communications
  • Optimal utilization of radio resources


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, radio resource control signaling configuring an uplink transmission configuration indication (TCI) state pool that includes multiple candidate uplink TCI states associated with an uplink resource. The base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, downlink signaling that identifies, among the multiple candidate uplink TCI states included in the uplink TCI state pool, an uplink TCI state to be used to transmit an uplink communication on the uplink resource. Accordingly, the UE may transmit, to the base station, the uplink communication on the uplink resource using an uplink transmit beam based at least in part on the uplink TCI state identified in the downlink signaling. Numerous other aspects are provided.
