IMPLICIT UPDATE OF ACTIVATED TCI STATES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250385 titled 'IMPLICIT UPDATE OF ACTIVATED TCI STATES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for systems and methods that allow for the activation of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states in wireless communication devices. This activation is done implicitly, without the need for additional messages.

  • The method involves sending a measurement report for reference signals to a base station.
  • The reference signals are associated with different TCI states.
  • Based on the measurement report, at least one TCI state is activated.
  • This simplifies and expedites the selection of TCI states, as it eliminates the need for additional activation messages.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication devices and networks
  • Mobile devices and smartphones
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies and expedites the selection of TCI states
  • Avoids the need for additional Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) activation messages

Benefits

  • Faster and more efficient activation of TCI states
  • Simplified communication between wireless devices and base stations
  • Improved performance and reliability of wireless networks


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for implicitly activating one or more Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless communication device for implicit TCI state activation includes sending a measurement report for one or more reference signals to a base station. The one or more reference signals are related to one or more TCI states, respectively. The method further includes activating at least one TCI state from among the one or more TCI states that are related to the one or more reference signals. In this way, the TCI state selection may be expedited and simplified because additional Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) activation message may be avoided.
