TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLEMENTING FULL-DUPLEX COMMUNICATIONS VIA MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION POINTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17849381 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLEMENTING FULL-DUPLEX COMMUNICATIONS VIA MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION POINTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces a user equipment (UE) that receives control information about a set of time division duplexing (TDD) patterns. The UE then dedicates a specific TDD pattern for communication with a first transmission and reception point (TRP) from a group of multiple TRPs associated with a network entity. Additionally, the UE determines another dedicated TDD pattern for communication with at least a second TRP based on the provided set of TDD patterns. The UE can then communicate with the network entity using either the first TRP, the second TRP, or both, following the dedicated TDD patterns.

  • User equipment (UE) receives control information about a set of TDD patterns.
  • A first TDD pattern is dedicated for communication between the UE and a first TRP.
  • The UE determines a second TDD pattern for communication with at least a second TRP.
  • The UE can communicate with the network entity using the first TRP, the second TRP, or both.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various wireless communication systems, including:

  • Cellular networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Wireless sensor networks
  • Industrial automation systems

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems in wireless communications:

  • Efficient utilization of time division duplexing (TDD) patterns
  • Optimizing communication between user equipment (UE) and multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs)
  • Enhancing network connectivity and reliability

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved capacity and throughput in wireless networks
  • Enhanced flexibility in communication between UE and TRPs
  • Increased reliability and reduced interference in TDD-based systems


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control information indicative of a set of time division duplexing (TDD) patterns. A first dedicated TDD pattern of the set of TDD patterns may be dedicated for TDD communications between the UE and a first transmission and reception point (TRP) from a set of multiple TRPs associated with a network entity. The UE may determine at least a second dedicated TDD pattern for TDD communications between the UE and at least a second TRP from the set of multiple TRPs based on the set of TDD patterns. The UE may communicate with the network entity via at least one of the first TRP or the second TRP in accordance with the first dedicated TDD pattern, the second dedicated TDD pattern, or both.
