BANDWIDTH PART SWITCHING TECHNIQUES FOR NETWORK POWER SAVINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18048492 titled 'BANDWIDTH PART SWITCHING TECHNIQUES FOR NETWORK POWER SAVINGS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication, specifically focusing on temporary bandwidth part (BWP) switching procedures. Here are some key points to explain the patent/innovation:

  • User equipment (UE) can receive parameters for a temporary BWP switch from a first BWP to a second BWP.
  • Parameters may include time duration, network antenna configuration, transmission parameters, or a combination thereof.
  • The UE switches from the first BWP to the second BWP according to the temporary BWP switching procedure.
  • The UE communicates with a network entity using the indicated parameters.
  • The UE may switch from the second BWP to a third BWP following the same procedure.
      1. Potential Applications

- Mobile communication networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Smart city infrastructure

      1. Problems Solved

- Efficient bandwidth management - Seamless communication handovers - Optimization of network resources

      1. Benefits

- Improved network performance - Enhanced user experience - Increased reliability of wireless communication

      1. Potential Commercial Applications
        1. Optimizing Wireless Communication with Temporary BWP Switching
      1. Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to dynamic bandwidth allocation in wireless communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

      1. Unanswered Questions
        1. How does the temporary BWP switching procedure impact battery life on user equipment?

The abstract does not mention the potential effects of temporary BWP switching on battery consumption.

        1. Are there any limitations to the number of BWPs that can be switched between in this system?

The abstract does not address any restrictions on the number of BWPs that can be switched during the temporary BWP switching procedure.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of parameters associated with a temporary bandwidth part (BWP) switch from a first BWP to a second BWP. The parameters may include a time duration for the temporary BWP switching procedure, a network antenna configuration for the second BWP, transmission parameters for communications scheduled in the second BWP, or a combination thereof. The UE may switch from the first BWP to the second BWP in accordance with the temporary BWP switching procedure and communicate with a network entity using the indicated parameters. For example, the UE may receive one or more downlink messages or transmit one or more uplink messages in accordance with the indicated parameters. Thereafter, the UE may switch from the second BWP to a third BWP in accordance with the temporary BWP switching procedure.
