PHASE CHARACTERISTIC CAPABILITY REPORTING FOR SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL (SRS) STITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18041212 titled 'PHASE CHARACTERISTIC CAPABILITY REPORTING FOR SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL (SRS) STITCHING

Abstract

A mobile device can inform a network node about its capabilities related to the transmission of Sounding Resource Signal (SRS) resources. This allows the network to configure the mobile device accordingly, leading to improved processing of multiple SRS resources and increased accuracy in determining the mobile device's position. The abstract mentions various techniques for reporting capabilities and determining applicable conditions.

Bullet Points

• Mobile devices can report their capabilities to a network node regarding SRS resources.
• This enables the network to configure the mobile device based on the reported capabilities.
• Coherent processing of multiple SRS resources increases the bandwidth and accuracy of position determination.
• Various techniques are provided for reporting capabilities and determining applicable conditions.

Potential Applications

• Improved accuracy in determining the position of mobile devices.
• Enhanced network configuration based on the capabilities of mobile devices.
• Increased bandwidth for SRS resources.

Problems Solved

• Inaccurate position determination for mobile devices.
• Lack of efficient network configuration based on mobile device capabilities.
• Limited bandwidth for SRS resources.

Benefits

• Higher accuracy in determining the position of mobile devices.
• Improved network configuration for optimal performance.
• Increased bandwidth for transmitting SRS resources.

Original Abstract Submitted

A mobile device can report its capabilities to a network node regarding one or more phase characteristics between Sounding Resource Signal (SRS) resources transmitted by the mobile device under one or more circumstances, enabling the network to configure the mobile device accordingly. Such reporting can enable the network to coherently process multiple SRS resources, effectively increasing the bandwidth of the SRS resources and, ultimately, the accuracy of a position determination for the mobile device. Various techniques are provided for reporting capabilities and determining applicable conditions.
