ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING BEAM SWITCHING AND/OR BEAMFORMING AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887676 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING BEAM SWITCHING AND/OR BEAMFORMING AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with antenna arrays and a controller to control them. The controller maintains a current beam in one direction and can activate a new beam in a different direction. The decision to switch beams is based on the signal quality of the new beam compared to the current beam.
- The electronic device has one or more antenna arrays.
- A controller is used to control the antenna arrays.
- The controller can maintain a current beam in a specific direction.
- The controller can activate a new beam in a different direction.
- The decision to switch beams is based on the signal quality of the new beam.
- If the signal quality of the new beam is better, the current beam is turned off.
- If the signal quality of the new beam is not better, the new beam is turned off.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication devices
- Cellular networks
- Satellite communication systems
- Radar systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved
- Efficiently controlling antenna arrays
- Optimizing signal quality in different sectors
- Minimizing interference in wireless communication
- Enhancing overall performance of electronic devices
Benefits
- Improved signal quality in different sectors

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes one or more antenna arrays; and a controller configured to control the one or more antenna arrays. The controller is configured to maintain a current beam formed in a first sector by the one or more antenna arrays in an on state and turn on a new beam in a second sector that is different from the first sector, and turn off either the current beam or the new beam based on whether a signal quality of the new beam is greater than a signal quality of the current beam.
