Selecting Unified Transmission States for Multipoint Operation Using Enhanced Control Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17883412 titled 'Selecting Unified Transmission States for Multipoint Operation Using Enhanced Control Information

Simplified Explanation

This patent application relates to techniques for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a wireless communication system. It introduces the concept of transmission control indication states, which can be indicated for future use using one or more lists. A subset of these indicated states can be activated, and this subset can be greater than 8 states. These activated states can then be used for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a single downlink control information mode.

• Techniques for multi-transmission and reception point operation in wireless communication systems
• Introduction of transmission control indication states for future use
• Activation of a subset of indicated states
• Subset can contain more than 8 states
• Use of activated states for multi-transmission and reception point operation in a single downlink control information mode

Potential Applications:

• Wireless communication systems
• Mobile networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• 5G and beyond networks

Problems Solved:

• Efficient utilization of transmission control indication states
• Enhanced multi-transmission and reception point operation
• Improved downlink control information mode

Benefits:

• Increased capacity and efficiency in wireless communication systems
• Improved performance of mobile networks and IoT devices
• Enhanced capabilities for 5G and beyond networks

Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure relates to techniques for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a wireless communication system. A plurality of transmission control indication states may be indicated for future use, e.g., using one or more lists. A subset of the indicated states may be activated and the subset may be greater than 8 states. One or more states of the subset may be used for performing multi-transmission and reception point operation in a single downlink control information mode.
