DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA PANELS FOR SIMULTANEOUS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17839209 titled 'DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA PANELS FOR SIMULTANEOUS COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to communication using multiple antenna panels. It describes a system where one user equipment (UE) can use the antenna panel of another UE for receiving and transmitting data.
- The network entity schedules a transmission to the first UE, where data is simultaneously transmitted to the first UE's antenna panel and the second UE's antenna panel.
- The second UE forwards the data it receives to the first UE.
- The first UE sends antenna panel information to the network entity for scheduling multi-panel transmissions or receptions.
- The first UE can request the second UE to forward data for a multi-panel transmission or reception.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve data transmission and reception.
- It can be used in scenarios where one UE has a better antenna panel position or signal quality than another UE, allowing for more efficient communication.
Problems Solved
- This technology solves the problem of limited antenna coverage or signal strength for a UE by utilizing the antenna panel of another UE.
- It addresses the issue of improving data transmission and reception in wireless communication systems.
Benefits
- By using multiple antenna panels, the system can enhance the overall communication performance and reliability.
- It allows for better utilization of available resources and improves the coverage and capacity of the network.
- Users can experience improved data rates and reduced latency in their communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects relate to communication using multiple antenna panels. A first user equipment (UE) may use an antenna panel of a second UE for receiving and/or transmitting data. For example, a network entity may schedule a transmission to the first UE where a first transmit receive point (TRP) transmits data to a first antenna panel of the first UE via a first TRP and simultaneously transmits data to a second antenna panel of the second UE via a second TRP, whereby the second UE forwards the data it receives to the first UE. The first UE may send antenna panel information to the network entity for scheduling a multi-panel transmission or reception for the first UE. The first UE may send a request to the second UE to forward data for a multi-panel transmission or reception.
