TECHNIQUES FOR POWER CONTROL FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18053990 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR POWER CONTROL FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is related to wireless communication and specifically focuses on a method for allocating energy to different antenna ports of a user equipment (UE) for uplink transmission.

  • The UE has multiple antenna ports grouped into antenna groups.
  • The method involves allocating a certain amount of energy from a total energy budget to each antenna port.
  • The allocation is based on the importance or priority of each antenna port.
  • The UE then selects a set of antenna ports for the uplink transmission based on the allocated energy.
  • The selected set of antenna ports is used for the actual uplink transmission.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, Wi-Fi, and IoT devices.
  • It can improve the efficiency and reliability of uplink transmissions by optimizing the allocation of energy to different antenna ports.
  • The method can be used in both single-antenna and multiple-antenna systems.

Problems Solved

  • In wireless communication systems, it is important to allocate energy efficiently to different antenna ports to ensure reliable and high-quality transmissions.
  • The traditional methods of energy allocation may not consider the varying importance or priority of different antenna ports, leading to suboptimal performance.
  • This technology solves the problem by providing a method to allocate energy based on the importance of each antenna port, resulting in improved uplink transmission performance.

Benefits

  • The method allows for better utilization of the available energy budget by allocating it based on the importance of each antenna port.
  • By selecting the set of antenna ports for uplink transmission based on the allocated energy, the method ensures optimal performance and reliability.
  • The technology can improve the overall efficiency and capacity of wireless communication systems by optimizing the use of antenna ports.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may allocate, from a first amount of energy associated with a first antenna group of the UE, a second amount of energy to a first antenna port of a plurality of antenna ports associated with the first antenna group. The UE may allocate, from the first amount of energy, a third amount of energy to a second antenna port of the plurality of antenna ports associated with the first antenna group. The UE may select, based at least in part on the second amount of energy and the third amount of energy, a set of antenna ports, of the plurality of antenna ports, for an uplink transmission. The UE may perform the uplink transmission using the selected set of antenna ports. Numerous other aspects are described.
