GROUP-BASED BEAM REPORT WITH MULTIPLE REPORTED GROUPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17793323 titled 'GROUP-BASED BEAM REPORT WITH MULTIPLE REPORTED GROUPS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that allows a user equipment (UE) to provide group-based beam reporting for multiple groups of beams. This means that the UE can measure the signal strength of different beams and report it to the base station.
- The UE measures the signal strength of multiple beams that are grouped into different groups.
- It sends a channel state information (CSI) report to the base station, which includes a group-based beam report for each group of beams.
- Each group-based beam report includes a beam metric for each beam in the group, indicating the signal strength.
- It also includes a group beam metric, indicating the overall signal strength of the beams in the group.
- The base station can configure the UE to use this group-based beam reporting for multiple groups of beams.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be used in wireless communication systems, such as 5G networks, to improve beamforming and signal quality.
- It can help optimize the use of multiple beams in a wireless network, leading to better coverage and capacity.
- It can be used in applications that require high-speed and reliable wireless connections, such as autonomous vehicles or industrial IoT.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional beam reporting methods may not provide enough information about the performance of different beams.
- It can be challenging to manage and optimize multiple beams in a wireless network without detailed information about their signal strength.
- This technology solves these problems by providing a group-based beam reporting mechanism that allows for more accurate and efficient beamforming.
Benefits of this technology:
- The use of group-based beam reporting allows for more comprehensive and detailed information about the performance of different beams.
- It enables better optimization of beamforming, leading to improved signal quality and coverage in wireless networks.
- It can enhance the performance of applications that rely on high-speed and reliable wireless connections.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects enable a user equipment (UE) to provide group-based beam reporting for multiple groups of beams. The UE measures a signal for each of a plurality of beams, wherein the plurality of beams are grouped into multiple groups of more than one beam that are capable of simultaneous operation. The UE transmits a channel state information (CSI) report comprising a group-based beam report for each of the multiple groups of more than one beam. Each group-based beam report comprised in the CSI report may indicate a beam metric for each beam of the more than one beam in a corresponding group. Each group-based beam report comprised in the CSI report may indicate a group beam metric for the one or more beams comprised in a corresponding group. A base station may configure the UE for the group-based beam reporting for multiple groups of more than one beam.
