ASSISTANCE INFORMATION FROM REPEATER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18174325 titled 'ASSISTANCE INFORMATION FROM REPEATER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatuses and methods for obtaining assistance information from repeaters in a network-controlled repeater (NCR) system. The NCR system includes an NCR mobile termination (NCR-MT) entity and an NCR forwarding (NCR-Fwd) entity.
- The NCR-MT entity receives first information regarding reception parameters of a set of uplink (UL) signals or channels and second information for reporting a metric corresponding to the set of UL signals or channels.
- Based on the first information, the NCR-MT entity receives an UL signal or channel from the set of UL signals or channels on an access link of the NCR-Fwd entity.
- The NCR-MT entity determines a measurement for the UL signal or channel and calculates a value for the metric based on the measurement.
- The NCR-MT entity then transmits a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that carries the value of the metric.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems: This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to improve the performance and efficiency of repeaters.
- Cellular networks: The NCR system can be used in cellular networks to enhance the coverage and capacity of the network.
- Internet of Things (IoT): The technology can be utilized in IoT networks to improve the reliability and connectivity of devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Coverage limitations: The NCR system helps overcome coverage limitations by extending the range of signals and improving signal quality.
- Capacity constraints: By optimizing the use of UL signals and channels, the NCR system addresses capacity constraints in wireless networks.
- Interference mitigation: The assistance information obtained from repeaters helps in mitigating interference issues and improving overall network performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced coverage: The NCR system improves coverage in areas with weak signals or signal blockages, providing better connectivity for users.
- Increased capacity: By efficiently utilizing UL signals and channels, the NCR system increases the capacity of wireless networks, allowing more users to connect simultaneously.
- Improved network performance: The assistance information obtained from repeaters helps in optimizing signal transmission, reducing interference, and improving overall network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses and methods for assistance information from repeaters. A method for a network-controlled repeater (NCR) includes receiving, by an NCR mobile termination (NCR-MT) entity first information for reception parameters of a set of uplink (UL) signals or channels and second information for reporting a metric corresponding to the set of UL signals or channels and receiving, on an access link of an NCR forwarding (NCR-Fwd) entity, based on the first information, an UL signal or channel from the set of UL signals or channels. The method further includes determining, by the NCR-MT entity a measurement for the UL signal or channel and a value for the metric based on the measurement and transmitting, by the NCR-MT entity, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that provides the value.
