PERCEPTION-AIDED BEAM-BASED COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874202 titled 'PERCEPTION-AIDED BEAM-BASED COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The techniques described involve using situational information to improve beam-based communications between a user equipment (UE) and a network entity.

  • The first UE collects data from one or more sensors and generates situational information based on the collected data.
  • The situational information is then used by the first UE in a beam selection procedure to identify suitable candidate beams for communication with the network entity.
  • The first UE can transmit the situational information to the network entity in a beam management report.
  • The network entity can use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communication with the first UE.
  • The network entity can also use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communication with a second UE associated with the first UE.

Potential Applications:

  • Improved wireless communications: The use of situational information can enhance the selection of beams for communication, leading to improved wireless connectivity and performance.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): The collection of data from sensors and the generation of situational information can be beneficial in IoT applications where multiple devices need to communicate with a network entity.
  • Smart cities: Situational information can aid in optimizing wireless communications in smart city infrastructure, enabling efficient connectivity for various applications like traffic management, environmental monitoring, etc.

Problems Solved:

  • Beam selection optimization: The use of situational information helps in identifying suitable candidate beams for communication, addressing the challenge of selecting the most appropriate beam in beam-based communications.
  • Network congestion management: By using situational information, the network entity can identify suitable candidate beams for multiple UEs, enabling efficient utilization of network resources and reducing congestion.

Benefits:

  • Improved connectivity: The use of situational information allows for better beam selection, resulting in improved wireless connectivity and reduced signal interference.
  • Enhanced network efficiency: By utilizing situational information, the network entity can optimize beam selection for multiple UEs, leading to efficient network resource allocation and improved overall network performance.
  • Enhanced user experience: The improved connectivity and network efficiency provided by this technology can result in a better user experience with faster and more reliable wireless communications.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for using situational information to aid in beam-based communications between a first user equipment (UE) and a network entity. The first UE may collect data at one or more sensors and may generate the situational information using the collected data. The first UE may then use the situational information in a beam selection procedure to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the network entity. The first UE may also transmit the situational information to the network entity in a beam management report, and the network entity may use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the first UE. In some cases, the network entity may also use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with a second UE associated with the first UE.
