ENABLING APERIODIC CSI AND SRS TRANSMISSIONS FOR SCELL DORMANCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17921904 titled 'ENABLING APERIODIC CSI AND SRS TRANSMISSIONS FOR SCELL DORMANCY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for enabling Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmissions and Aperiodic Channel State Information (A-CSI) for Secondary Cell (SCell) dormancy in wireless communication devices.

  • The wireless communication device transmits capability information to a network node indicating support for SCell dormancy operation using a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) for one or more SCells.
  • The wireless communication device also transmits capability information indicating whether it supports SRS transmission on a dormant BWP of one or more SCells.
  • This enables efficient and flexible operation of SCell dormancy, allowing the wireless communication device to conserve power and resources when not actively communicating with the network.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 5G and beyond, to improve power efficiency and resource allocation.
  • It can be used in IoT devices, where power consumption is critical, to optimize the use of secondary cells and conserve energy.
  • The technology can also be beneficial in dense network environments, where efficient management of SCell dormancy can help alleviate congestion and improve overall network performance.

Problems Solved

  • SCell dormancy operation can be challenging to implement efficiently, leading to unnecessary power consumption and inefficient resource allocation.
  • The lack of support for SRS transmission on dormant BWPs can limit the flexibility and effectiveness of SCell dormancy.
  • This technology solves these problems by providing a method for transmitting capability information and enabling SRS transmission on dormant BWPs, allowing for more efficient and flexible SCell dormancy operation.

Benefits

  • Improved power efficiency by enabling SCell dormancy operation using dormant BWPs, reducing power consumption when not actively communicating.
  • Enhanced resource allocation by supporting SRS transmission on dormant BWPs, allowing for more accurate channel state information and better resource management.
  • Increased flexibility in SCell dormancy operation, enabling wireless communication devices to adapt to changing network conditions and optimize performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to enabling Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmissions and Aperiodic Channel State Information (A-CSI) for Secondary Cell (SCell) dormancy. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication device comprises transmitting, to a network node, first capability information that indicates that the wireless communication device supports SCell dormancy operation using a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) for one or more SCells. The method further comprises transmitting, to the network node, second capability information that indicates whether the wireless communication device supports sounding reference signal, SRS, transmission on a dormant BWP of one or more SCells. In this manner, efficient and flexible operation of SCell dormancy is provided.
