METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACQUIRING A SYSTEM INFORMATION BASED ON A BEAM GROUP IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17915951 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACQUIRING A SYSTEM INFORMATION BASED ON A BEAM GROUP IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for acquiring system information in a wireless communication system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A wireless device selects a serving beam, which is the primary beam used for communication.
  • The wireless device receives system information from the serving beam of a cell, which contains important information about the system.
  • The wireless device changes the serving beam from the first beam to a second beam of the same cell.
  • The wireless device initiates a system information acquisition procedure for the system information based on determining that the second beam belongs to a different beam group from the first beam.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, can benefit from this method and apparatus for acquiring system information.
  • It can be used in various wireless devices, including smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • In wireless communication systems, it is crucial to acquire accurate and up-to-date system information for efficient communication.
  • The existing methods may not be able to handle scenarios where the serving beam needs to be changed, resulting in delays or inaccuracies in acquiring system information.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method and apparatus described in the patent application allow for seamless acquisition of system information even when the serving beam is changed.
  • It ensures that the wireless device can quickly and accurately obtain the necessary system information for optimal communication.
  • This technology improves the overall performance and efficiency of wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus for acquiring a system information based on a beam group in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device selects a first beam as a serving beam. A wireless device receives, from the first beam of a cell, a system information. A wireless device changes the serving beam from the first beam to a second beam of the cell. A wireless device initiates a system information acquisition procedure for the system information based on determining that the second beam belongs to a different beam group from the first beam.
