TECHNIQUES FOR SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK WAVEFORM DESIGN FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17999293 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK WAVEFORM DESIGN FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on the transmission of control and synchronization signals between two user equipment (UE) devices.
- A first UE determines that it needs to transmit a control signal and a synchronization signal associated with a synchronization signal block.
- The first UE transmits the control signal to a second UE during a specific set of symbols within a time period. This control signal is related to sidelink communication.
- After transmitting the control signal, the first UE transmits the synchronization signal to the second UE during a symbol that follows the first set of symbols.
- The first UE then communicates with the second UE based on the transmitted control signal and synchronization signal.
Potential Applications
This technology can have various applications in wireless communications, including:
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices: It can enable efficient and synchronized communication between IoT devices, improving their overall performance and reliability.
- Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication: It can enhance the coordination and synchronization of communication between vehicles, enabling safer and more efficient transportation systems.
- Industrial automation: It can facilitate reliable and synchronized communication between different components of an automated system, improving its overall efficiency and productivity.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses several challenges in wireless communications, such as:
- Efficient transmission of control and synchronization signals: By optimizing the timing and transmission methods, it ensures that control and synchronization signals are reliably transmitted between devices.
- Sidelink communication: It enables the transmission of control signals specifically designed for sidelink communication, allowing devices to communicate directly without relying on a base station.
- Synchronization of communication: By transmitting synchronization signals, it ensures that devices are properly synchronized, minimizing interference and improving overall communication quality.
Benefits
The technology offers several benefits in wireless communications:
- Improved reliability: By optimizing the transmission of control and synchronization signals, it enhances the reliability of wireless communication between devices.
- Enhanced efficiency: The technology enables efficient communication by transmitting control signals during specific symbols and synchronizing devices using synchronization signals.
- Direct device-to-device communication: It allows devices to communicate directly without the need for a base station, enabling faster and more efficient communication.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may determine that that the first UE is scheduled to transmit a control signal and a synchronization signal associated with a synchronization signal block. The first UE may transmit, to a second UE during a first set of symbols within a time period, the control signal associated with a sidelink communication. In some examples, the first UE may transmit, to the second UE during a symbol subsequent to the first set of symbols, the synchronization signal associated with the synchronization signal block, and may communicate with the second UE according to the transmitted control signal and the transmitted synchronization signal.
