TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTING BEAMS IN FULL DUPLEX WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17846959 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTING BEAMS IN FULL DUPLEX WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for selecting optimal beam pairs for communication between network nodes.

  • The method involves receiving indications of candidate downlink beams and candidate uplink beams from a network node.
  • The candidate downlink beams are combinations of multiple downlink beams, and the candidate uplink beams are combinations of multiple uplink beams.
  • Beam pair measurements are performed for each candidate downlink beam while transmitting each candidate uplink beam.
  • The measurements are used to select a set of candidate beam pairs, each consisting of one candidate downlink beam and one candidate uplink beam.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Cellular networks
  • Satellite communication systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient selection of optimal beam pairs for communication
  • Improved network performance and reliability
  • Minimization of interference and signal degradation

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced communication quality
  • Increased network capacity
  • Improved user experience
  • Reduced network congestion and latency


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects described herein relate to receiving, from a network node, a first indication of a set of candidate downlink beams corresponding to multiple downlink beams received from one or more transmit/receive points (TRPs), receiving, from the network node, a second indication of a set of candidate uplink beams of multiple uplink beams, wherein at least one downlink beam in the set of candidate downlink beams includes a downlink beam combination of multiple downlink beams or at least one uplink beam in the set of candidate uplink beams includes an uplink beam combination of multiple uplink beams, and performing beam pair measurements of each candidate downlink beam in the set of candidate downlink beams received while transmitting each candidate uplink beam in the set of candidate uplink beams to select a set of candidate beam pairs each including one of the candidate downlink beams and one of the candidate uplink beams.
