MULTI-BURST A-TRS FOR LOOP OPERATION ON SSB-LESS SECONDARY CELL IN INTER-BAND CARRIER AGGREGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937269 titled 'MULTI-BURST A-TRS FOR LOOP OPERATION ON SSB-LESS SECONDARY CELL IN INTER-BAND CARRIER AGGREGATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure involves a method for a User Equipment (UE) to request and receive A-TRS (Additional-Reference Signal) in a secondary carrier on a different frequency band, improving reception performance of downlink data transmissions.
- UE requests base station to configure and transmit A-TRS in a secondary carrier on a different frequency band.
- UE transmits request for A-TRS in a first cell served by an anchor carrier.
- UE receives A-TRS in a second cell lacking SSB transmissions served by the secondary carrier.
- Base station controls transmission of A-TRS in the secondary cell based on a timer derived from the request.
- UE applies AGC and time/frequency tracking loop operations using A-TRS before receiving a PDSCH in the secondary cell.
- Potential Applications
- Improved reception performance in downlink data transmissions. - Energy savings in inter-band CA (Carrier Aggregation).
- Problems Solved
- Enhancing reception performance in secondary carriers without SSB transmissions. - Efficient utilization of A-TRS for signal processing operations.
- Benefits
- Enhanced data transmission reliability. - Improved network energy efficiency. - Better user experience with optimized signal processing.
- Potential Commercial Applications
- Enhanced Downlink Data Transmission Technology for Mobile Networks
- Potential Commercial Applications

Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure allow a UE to request, in an anchor carrier on one frequency band, a base station to configure and transmit A-TRS in an SSB-less secondary carrier on a different frequency band. The UE transmits, in a first cell served by the anchor carrier, a request for A-TRS. Based on the request, the UE receives, in a second cell lacking SSB transmissions served by the secondary carrier, the A-TRS based on the request. The base station may also control transmission of the A-TRS in the SSB-less secondary cell based on a timer derived from the request. Using the A-TRS, the UE may apply AGC and time/frequency tracking loop operations prior to receiving a PDSCH in the SSB-less secondary cell, thereby improving reception performance of downlink data transmissions in the secondary carrier. Thus, network energy savings provided by SSB-less secondary carriers may be obtained in inter-band CA.
