UE INITIATED UPDATE OF ACTIVE TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATES AND SPATIAL RELATION CONFIGURATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17849067 titled 'UE INITIATED UPDATE OF ACTIVE TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATES AND SPATIAL RELATION CONFIGURATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device that updates the configuration of transmission indicators and spatial relations. Here are the key points:
- The device measures signal strengths of network entity transmit beams.
- Based on the measured signal strengths, the device activates corresponding transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states or spatial relation configurations.
- The device generates a report indicating the activated TCI states or spatial relation configurations.
- The device then obtains information from a network entity about the corresponding transmit beam and switches to a device receive beam associated with that transmit beam.
- This allows the device to communicate signals with the network entity.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Mobile devices and networks
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficiently updating and configuring transmission indicators and spatial relations
- Improving signal strength measurement and communication with network entities
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced communication performance and reliability
- Optimal utilization of network resources
- Improved user experience with wireless devices and networks
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a device initiating an update of active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states and/or spatial relation configurations. The device measures one or more signal strengths of one or more network entity transmit beams and activates one or more TCI states/spatial relation configurations corresponding to the one or more network entity transmit beams based on the measured one or more signal strengths. The device further outputs a report indicating the one or more activated TCI states or the one or more activated spatial relation configurations. Thereafter, the device obtains, from a network entity, information indicating a network entity transmit beam corresponding to an activated TCI state or an activated spatial relation configuration and switches, based on the information, to at least one device receive beam that is associated with the indicated network entity transmit beam to communicate signals with the network entity.
