ENVIRONMENT SENSING USING RADIO FREQUENCIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17907656 titled 'ENVIRONMENT SENSING USING RADIO FREQUENCIES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for environment sensing by an electronic device, such as a user equipment (UE) or base station, using a radio frequency (RF) signal.

  • The RF signal is configured to transmit information on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in accordance with a wireless communication standard, such as 5G New Radio (NR).
  • The electronic device adjusts the transmission parameters of the RF signal based on factors like the desired resolution, the type of application for which the environment sensing RF signal is being transmitted, and the capabilities of the UE.
  • The electronic device can transmit the environment sensing RF signal over an uplink, downlink, or sidelink, depending on the type of electronic device.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices, can use environment sensing to detect and analyze their surroundings.
  • Base stations can utilize environment sensing to monitor and optimize the wireless network environment, improving overall performance and user experience.

Problems Solved

  • Traditional environment sensing techniques may not provide sufficient resolution or adaptability for different applications and device capabilities.
  • By adjusting the transmission parameters of the RF signal, the disclosed techniques address the need for customizable and efficient environment sensing.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy and resolution in environment sensing, leading to better detection and analysis of the surroundings.
  • Customizable transmission parameters allow for optimized environment sensing based on specific application requirements and device capabilities.
  • Enhanced wireless network performance and user experience through optimized monitoring and optimization of the network environment.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are techniques for environment sensing by an electronic device, such as a user equipment (UE) or base station. In an aspect, the electronic device uses a radio frequency (RF) signal configured to transmit information on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in accordance with a wireless communication standard, such as Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR), for environment sensing. The electronic device configures one or more transmission parameters for the RF signal based on one or more factors related to a resolution to be provided by the RF signal, a type of application for which the environment sensing RF signal is being transmitted, capabilities of the UE, and the like. The electronic device then transmits the environment sensing RF signal, over an uplink, downlink, or sidelink, as appropriate to the type of electronic device, in accordance with the one or more transmission parameters.
