METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEAM FAILURE DETECTION, REQUEST, AND RECOVERY UNDER A UNIFIED TCI FRAMEWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18060522 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEAM FAILURE DETECTION, REQUEST, AND RECOVERY UNDER A UNIFIED TCI FRAMEWORK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for detecting and recovering from beam failures in a wireless communication system. The method involves receiving information about the transmission configuration indication (TCI) state for a user equipment (UE) and determining whether it is an uplink (UL) TCI state or a joint downlink (DL) and UL TCI state for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). Based on this information, a beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) is determined and monitored to detect any UL beam failures.
- The invention is a method and apparatus for detecting and recovering from beam failures in a wireless communication system.
- It involves receiving information about the transmission configuration indication (TCI) state for a user equipment (UE).
- The method determines whether the TCI state is an uplink (UL) TCI state or a joint downlink (DL) and UL TCI state for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
- Based on the UL TCI state or joint DL and UL TCI state, a beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) is determined.
- The BFD RS is then monitored to detect any UL beam failures.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- 5G and beyond networks
Problems solved by this technology:
- Beam failures in wireless communication systems can lead to degraded performance and loss of connectivity.
- Detecting and recovering from beam failures is crucial to maintain reliable and efficient communication.
- The proposed method provides a unified framework for beam failure detection, request, and recovery.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and performance of wireless communication systems.
- Efficient detection and recovery from beam failures.
- Simplified and unified framework for beam failure management.
- Enhanced user experience and connectivity for UE devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses for beam failure detection, request, and recovery under a unified transmission configuration indication (TCI) framework in a wireless communication system. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) includes receiving information associated with a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state for the UE and identifying, based on the information, an uplink (UL) TCI state or a joint downlink (DL) and UL TCI state for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The method further includes determining, based on the UL TCI state or the joint DL and UL TCI state for the PUCCH, a first beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) to monitor and monitoring for an UL beam failure based on the first BFD RS.
