DEMODULATION REFERENCE SIGNAL (DMRS) COMBINING FOR SINGLE DMRS CONFIGURATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18046851 titled 'DEMODULATION REFERENCE SIGNAL (DMRS) COMBINING FOR SINGLE DMRS CONFIGURATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, specifically focusing on demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configurations for demodulating a downlink data channel in a slot or subslot. The signaling received by user equipment (UE) from a network entity, such as a base station, indicates one of a plurality of DMRS configurations selected by the network entity. These configurations determine whether DMRS combining is supported across the slot or subslot and a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot, including a configuration where a single DMRS in the slot or subslot is combined with a DMRS in a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot to demodulate the downlink data channel.
- User equipment (UE) receives signaling from a network entity indicating a DMRS configuration for demodulating a downlink data channel.
- The network entity selects one of a plurality of DMRS configurations, which determine DMRS combining support across slots or subslots.
- One DMRS configuration allows a single DMRS in a slot or subslot to be combined with a DMRS in a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot for demodulation.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- 5G and beyond wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved
- Efficient demodulation of downlink data channels
- Improved signal quality and reliability in wireless communications
Benefits
- Enhanced data transmission performance
- Better utilization of available resources
- Increased network capacity and coverage
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized for:
- Telecommunication companies
- Network equipment manufacturers
- IoT device manufacturers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art is the use of dynamic resource allocation techniques in wireless communication systems to optimize signal demodulation and data transmission efficiency.
What are the specific DMRS configurations supported by this technology?
The specific DMRS configurations supported by this technology include those that indicate whether DMRS combining is supported across the slot or subslot and a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot. Additionally, there is a configuration capable of indicating to the UE that a single DMRS is configured in the slot or subslot and is to be combined with a DMRS in a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot to demodulate the downlink data channel.
How does this technology improve network capacity and coverage?
This technology improves network capacity and coverage by enabling more efficient demodulation of downlink data channels, leading to better utilization of available resources and enhanced data transmission performance. By optimizing the use of DMRS configurations, the technology can help increase the overall capacity and coverage of wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment may receive signaling that indicates one of a plurality of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configurations for demodulating a downlink data channel in a slot or subslot. The UE may receive the signaling from a network entity, such as a base station, and the network entity may select the indicated DMRS configuration. The plurality of DMRS configurations may indicate whether DMRS combining is supported across the slot or subslot and a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot, and the plurality of DMRS configurations may include a configuration that is capable of indicating to the UE that a single DMRS is configured in the slot or subslot and is to be combined with a DMRS in a subsequent adjacent slot or subslot to demodulate the downlink data channel.
