UPLINK TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATES IN A UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17819141 titled 'UPLINK TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATES IN A UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE

Simplified Explanation

- User equipment (UE) can receive a beam indication from a network node associated with a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state indication. - The unified TCI state indication includes information about downlink single frequency network (SFN) TCI states. - The UE can transmit an uplink communication to the network node using an uplink TCI state, even if the uplink resource is not associated with the unified TCI state indication. - Parameters of the uplink TCI state are determined based on the unified TCI state indication or another TCI state indication signal.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in: - Wireless communication systems - Cellular networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved

- Efficient utilization of uplink resources - Improved communication reliability - Enhanced network performance

Benefits

- Better management of uplink resources - Increased network capacity - Enhanced user experience in wireless communication.


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, a beam indication that is associated with a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state indication, wherein the unified TCI state indication includes an indication of one or more downlink single frequency network (SFN) TCI states. The UE may transmit, to the network node and using an uplink TCI state, an uplink communication using an uplink resource that is not associated with the unified TCI state indication, wherein one or more parameters associated with the uplink TCI state are based at least in part on the unified TCI state indication or based at least in part on another TCI state indication signal. Numerous other aspects are described.
