ANTENNA PANEL MANAGEMENT METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18166047 titled 'ANTENNA PANEL MANAGEMENT METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method, apparatus, and system for managing multiple antenna panels in order to reduce power consumption of a terminal device. The terminal device has a plurality of antenna panels that can be in different states such as activated, semi-activated, or deactivated. The solution involves switching the state of a first antenna panel from a first state to a second state.

  • The patent application focuses on managing multiple antenna panels in a terminal device.
  • The method aims to reduce power consumption of the terminal device.
  • The terminal device can have multiple antenna panels that support different states.
  • The first antenna panel is one of the multiple antenna panels and its state is switched from a first state to a second state.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets that have multiple antenna panels.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices that require efficient antenna panel management.
  • Wireless communication systems that can benefit from reduced power consumption.

Problems Solved

  • Power consumption in terminal devices with multiple antenna panels.
  • Efficient management of antenna panels to optimize performance and power usage.

Benefits

  • Reduced power consumption of terminal devices.
  • Improved performance and efficiency of wireless communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

An antenna panel management method, an apparatus, and a system, implement management of a plurality of antenna panels, and reduce power consumption of a terminal device. In this solution, a terminal device switches a state of a first antenna panel from a first state to a second state. The terminal device includes a plurality of antenna panels. The plurality of antenna panels may support one or more of an activated state, a semi-activated state, or a deactivated state, and the first antenna panel is one or more of the plurality of antenna panels.
