TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTING BEAM BASED ON MAXIMUM THROUGHPUT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18046183 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTING BEAM BASED ON MAXIMUM THROUGHPUT
Simplified Explanation
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify a first throughput on a first beam of the UE, wherein the first beam is associated with a first number of antenna elements. The UE may identify an estimated maximum throughput of the UE. The UE may communicate, based at least in part on the first throughput being greater than the estimated maximum throughput, using a second beam, the second beam having a second throughput that is greater than the estimated maximum throughput, and the second beam being associated with a second number of antenna elements lesser than the first number of antenna elements. Numerous other aspects are described.
- User equipment (UE) can identify and switch to a more efficient beam for communication.
- The UE estimates its maximum throughput and adjusts its beam selection accordingly.
- The technology optimizes communication by selecting beams with higher throughput relative to the estimated maximum throughput.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- 5G and future wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Autonomous vehicles for reliable and high-speed data transmission
Problems Solved
