SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL PORT ENHANCEMENTS FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875334 titled 'SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL PORT ENHANCEMENTS FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSIONS
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The invention focuses on improving the transmission of sounding reference signals (SRS) in wireless networks. The SRS configuration information includes details such as the quantity of symbols for transmitting SRSs, frequency resource combinations for each symbol, and a threshold quantity of cyclic shifts.
The patent application proposes a method for mapping subsets of SRS ports to symbols for transmission. The user equipment (UE) receives control signaling from a network entity, which includes the SRS configuration information for an increased quantity of SRS ports. The UE then maps a first subset of SRS ports to a first symbol and a second subset of SRS ports to a second symbol.
The UE transmits the SRSs using the first subset of SRS ports via the first symbol, following a specific frequency resource combination and respective cyclic shifts. Similarly, the UE transmits the SRSs using the second subset of SRS ports via the second symbol, following a different frequency resource combination and respective cyclic shifts.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved wireless communication: This innovation enhances the transmission of sounding reference signals, leading to improved overall wireless communication performance.
- Increased network capacity: By efficiently utilizing SRS ports and symbols, the technology allows for a higher quantity of SRSs to be transmitted, thereby increasing the network's capacity to handle more devices and data traffic.
- Enhanced network reliability: The optimized mapping of SRS ports and symbols helps in reducing interference and improving signal quality, resulting in a more reliable wireless network.
Problems solved by this technology:
- SRS transmission efficiency: The invention addresses the challenge of efficiently transmitting sounding reference signals in wireless networks, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing interference.
- Network congestion: By enabling the transmission of a larger quantity of SRSs, the technology helps alleviate network congestion, allowing for smoother data transmission and improved user experience.
- Interference reduction: The mapping of SRS ports and symbols helps in reducing interference between different SRS transmissions, leading to improved signal quality and network performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved network performance: The optimized transmission of SRSs enhances the overall performance of wireless networks, resulting in faster data speeds, reduced latency, and better coverage.
- Enhanced user experience: By reducing interference and congestion, the technology provides users with a more reliable and seamless wireless communication experience.
- Increased network capacity: The efficient utilization of SRS ports and symbols allows for a higher number of devices to connect to the network simultaneously, increasing its capacity to handle more traffic.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, control signaling that includes sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information associated with an increased quantity of SRS ports. The SRS configuration information may include a quantity of symbols via which to transmit SRSs, a frequency resource comb for each respective symbol, and a threshold quantity of cyclic shifts. The UE may map a first subset of SRS ports to a first symbol and map a second subset of SRS ports to a second symbol. The UE may transmit, and the network entity receive, the SRSs using the first subset of SRS ports via the first symbol according to a first frequency resource comb and respective cyclic shifts and using the second subset of SRS ports via the second symbol according to a second frequency resource comb and respective cyclic shifts.
