INDICATING AN AVAILABILITY OF A TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL (TRS) ASSOCIATED WITH A SUBSET OF TRS RESOURCE SETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806884 titled 'INDICATING AN AVAILABILITY OF A TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL (TRS) ASSOCIATED WITH A SUBSET OF TRS RESOURCE SETS

Explanation

The patent application relates to wireless communication and specifically to a method for a user equipment (UE) to receive and determine the availability of a tracking reference signal (TRS) from a network node. The UE receives an indication of a subset of TRS resource sets and a TRS availability indication bitmap from the network node. Based on the bitmap, the UE determines if the TRS is available and then receives the TRS from the network node.

• The patent application describes a method for a UE to receive and determine the availability of a TRS from a network node.
• The UE receives an indication of a subset of TRS resource sets and a TRS availability indication bitmap.
• The UE determines if the TRS is available based on the bitmap.
• If the TRS is available, the UE receives the TRS from the network node.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve the efficiency and reliability of TRS resource allocation.
• It can be used in 5G and future wireless networks to enhance the performance of UE devices.

Problems Solved

• The technology solves the problem of efficiently allocating TRS resources in wireless communication systems.
• It addresses the issue of determining the availability of TRS resources for UE devices.

Benefits

• The method described in the patent application improves the efficiency of TRS resource allocation, leading to better overall performance in wireless communication systems.
• It allows UE devices to reliably determine the availability of TRS resources, ensuring optimal usage of these resources.
• The technology can enhance the performance of UE devices in 5G and future wireless networks.

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 network node, an indication of a subset of tracking reference signal (TRS) resource sets from a plurality of TRS resource sets. The UE may receive, from the network node, a TRS availability indication bitmap that indicates an availability of a TRS associated with the subset of TRS resource sets. The UE may determine that the TRS is available based at least in part on the TRS availability indication bitmap. The UE may receive, from the network node, the TRS based at least in part on the TRS availability indication bitmap indicating that the TRS is available. Numerous other aspects are described.
