PHASE TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL CONFIGURATION FOR RATE-SPLITTING MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17941324 titled 'PHASE TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL CONFIGURATION FOR RATE-SPLITTING MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, specifically focusing on multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) signals.

  • Network node transmits control messages to user equipment (UEs) indicating the presence of private messages for a specific UE and common messages for that UE and at least one other UE.
  • An additional control message is sent to identify different phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) ports for private and common messages.
  • Private messages are transmitted using the first PTRS port, while common messages are sent using the second PTRS port.

Potential Applications

  • Improved wireless communication in multi-user environments.
  • Enhanced data transmission efficiency in MU-MIMO systems.

Problems Solved

  • Addressing interference issues in MU-MIMO signal transmission.
  • Optimizing data delivery to multiple users simultaneously.

Benefits

  • Increased data throughput for UEs.
  • Enhanced network performance in crowded wireless environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network node may transmit a control message to one or more user equipment (UEs) that identifies that multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) signals from the network node include one or more private messages for a UE and one or more common messages for a UE and at least one other UE. The network node may transmit an additional control message that identifies a first phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) port for the one or more private messages and a second PTRS port for the one or more common messages, where the PTRS ports may be the same or different. Then, the network node may transmit the private messages using the first PTRS port and the common messages using the second PTRS port.
