TECHNIQUES FOR UPDATING DEFAULT BEAMS AND PATHLOSS REFERENCE SIGNALS IN A MULTI-COMPONENT CARRIER COMMUNICATION LINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17995646 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR UPDATING DEFAULT BEAMS AND PATHLOSS REFERENCE SIGNALS IN A MULTI-COMPONENT CARRIER COMMUNICATION LINK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to wireless communication and specifically addresses the issue of determining default uplink beams and pathloss reference signals (PL RS) for component carriers in a communication link. The application proposes a method for a user equipment (UE) to determine and apply default uplink beams and PL RS to component carriers based on the absence of indications regarding spatial relation or PL RS for those carriers.

  • The user equipment (UE) determines a default uplink beam or default pathloss reference signal (PL RS) for a first component carrier of a communication link.
  • The UE applies the default uplink beam or default PL RS to a second component carrier of the communication link if no indication of spatial relation or PL RS is received for the second carrier.
  • This method allows the UE to handle situations where there is a lack of information about the spatial relation or PL RS for a component carrier.
  • By applying default values in such cases, the UE can maintain communication link stability and performance.
  • The proposed method can be implemented in various wireless communication systems.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including but not limited to:

  • 5G networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Mobile communication systems

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the problem of determining default uplink beams and pathloss reference signals for component carriers in a communication link when there is no indication of spatial relation or PL RS for those carriers. This problem can arise in various wireless communication scenarios and can affect the stability and performance of the communication link.

Benefits

The proposed method offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved stability and performance of the communication link by applying default values in the absence of specific indications.
  • Simplified implementation for user equipment (UE) by providing a default approach for handling component carriers without spatial relation or PL RS information.
  • Compatibility with various wireless communication systems, allowing for widespread adoption and utilization.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine one or more of a default uplink beam or a default pathloss reference signal (PL RS) for a first component carrier of a communication link; and apply the one or more of the default uplink beam or the default PL RS to a second component carrier of the communication link based at least in part on the UE not receiving an indication of a spatial relation for the second component carrier or an indication of a PL RS for the second component carrier. Numerous other aspects are provided.
