REPEATER BEAM REQUESTS FOR TRANSPARENT BEAM MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835767 titled 'REPEATER BEAM REQUESTS FOR TRANSPARENT BEAM MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation involves a repeater that can relay downlink communications, such as synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), across multiple beams to provide service to a coverage area. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • User equipment (UE) reports its initial capability to maintain latency conditions and the number of supported beams it can handle for relaying downlink communications.
  • A network entity transmits multiple SSBs directly to the repeater on the same beam.
  • The repeater relays the SSBs across multiple beams to provide service to a coverage area.
  • After relaying signaling between served UEs and the network entity, the repeater transmits a report requesting an updated configuration of the number of beams.
  • Upon receiving the updated configuration, the repeater receives more SSBs on a single beam and relays SSBs on the updated number of beams.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication networks that require extended coverage areas.
  • Areas with high user density where multiple beams are needed to provide efficient service.
  • Environments where maintaining low latency conditions is crucial.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Extending the coverage area of wireless communication networks without the need for additional infrastructure.
  • Efficiently providing service to areas with high user density by utilizing multiple beams.
  • Ensuring low latency conditions for wireless communication in various environments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved coverage and service quality in wireless communication networks.
  • Enhanced efficiency in providing service to areas with high user density.
  • Flexibility to adapt the number of beams based on the specific requirements of the network and users.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may report an initial capability to maintain latency conditions and a number of supported beams (e.g., a threshold number of beams the UE can support for relaying downlink communications such as synchronization signal blocks (SSBs)). A network entity may then transmit multiple SSBs directly to the repeater (e.g., on the same beam). The repeater may relay the SSBs across multiple beams to provide service to a coverage area. After relaying signaling between served UEs and the network entity, the repeater may transmit a report requesting a specific (e.g., improved or more accurate) number of beams (e.g., more beams or fewer beams than the number of SSBs initially provided). Upon receiving an updated configuration of a number of beams, the repeater may receive more SSBs on a single beam, and relay SSBs on the updated number of beams.
