Beam Reconfiguration in a Wireless Communication Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17917423 titled 'Beam Reconfiguration in a Wireless Communication Network
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wireless device that is designed for use in a wireless communication network, particularly a non-terrestrial network. The device is capable of receiving signals from a network node within the network, which indicate the need for reconfiguration of a beam that serves the device. In response to receiving these signals, the wireless device can reacquire time and/or frequency synchronization for the beam to accommodate the indicated reconfiguration.
- The wireless device is configured for use in a wireless communication network, such as a non-terrestrial network.
- It can receive signaling from a network node within the network, indicating the need for reconfiguration of a beam that serves the device.
- Upon receiving the signaling, the wireless device can reacquire time and/or frequency synchronization for the beam.
- This allows the device to adjust to the indicated reconfiguration of the beam.
Potential Applications
- Non-terrestrial wireless communication networks
- Satellite communication systems
- Wireless devices in remote or hard-to-reach areas
Problems Solved
- Ensuring seamless communication in wireless networks
- Adapting to changes in beam configuration without interruption
- Maintaining time and frequency synchronization in reconfigured beams
Benefits
- Improved reliability and efficiency of wireless communication networks
- Seamless transition during beam reconfiguration
- Enhanced performance and connectivity for wireless devices in non-terrestrial networks
Original Abstract Submitted
A wireless device () is configured for use in a wireless communication network (), e.g., a non-terrestrial network. The wireless device () is configured to receive, from a network node () in the wireless communication network (), signaling () that indicates reconfiguration of a beam () serving the wireless device (). The wireless device () in some embodiments is also configured to, responsive to receiving the signaling (), reacquire time and/or frequency synchronization for the beam (), e.g., to account for the indicated reconfiguration of the beam ().
