METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APERIODIC REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17805661 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APERIODIC REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a user equipment (UE) to receive aperiodic channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS). Here are the key points:

  • The method involves receiving aperiodic CSI-RS configuration information, which includes a CSI-RS triggering offset.
  • The UE also receives downlink control information (DCI) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), which triggers the aperiodic CSI-RS.
  • The CSI-RS triggering offset is determined based on the received CSI-RS configuration information.
  • The CSI-RS triggering offset is configured from a first set when the subcarrier spacing configuration for the PDCCH (μ) is less than the subcarrier spacing configuration for the aperiodic CSI-RS (μ).
  • Conversely, the CSI-RS triggering offset is configured from a second set when μ is greater than μ.
  • The aperiodic CSI-RS is received in a slot KS, which is determined based on the CSI-RS triggering offset, a slot containing the triggering DCI, and the subcarrier spacing configurations (μ and μ).

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in wireless communication systems that use aperiodic CSI-RS for channel state information estimation.
  • It can be used in 5G networks or future generations of wireless networks to improve the accuracy of channel state information.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently receiving aperiodic CSI-RS by determining the appropriate triggering offset based on the received configuration information.
  • It ensures that the aperiodic CSI-RS is received in the correct slot, taking into account the triggering DCI and the subcarrier spacing configurations.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method simplifies the operation of user equipment for aperiodic CSI-RS reception.
  • It improves the accuracy of channel state information estimation, which can lead to better performance in wireless communication systems.
  • By optimizing the triggering offset, the method enhances the efficiency of aperiodic CSI-RS reception.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for operating a user equipment (UE) for aperiodic channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) reception comprises receiving aperiodic CSI-RS configuration information including a CSI-RS triggering offset; receiving downlink control information (DCI) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), where the DCI triggers an aperiodic CSI-RS; and determining the CSI-RS triggering offset based on the CSI-RS configuration information, wherein the CSI-RS triggering offset is configured from a first set when μ<μ, and the CSI-RS triggering offset is configured from a second set when μ>μ, wherein μand μare subcarrier spacing configurations for the PDCCH and the aperiodic CSI-RS, respectively, and receiving the aperiodic CSI-RS in a slot KS determined based on the CSI-RS triggering offset, a slot containing the triggering DCI, and the subcarrier spacing configurations (μand μ).
