METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING IMPROVED BEAM TRACKING IN NEXT-GENERATION WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18254411 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING IMPROVED BEAM TRACKING IN NEXT-GENERATION WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present patent application describes a 6G communication system that aims to achieve ultra-low delay time and higher data transmission rates compared to 4G and 5G systems. The system focuses on improving beamforming technology in millimeter wave, terahertz, and ultrahigh frequency bands.

  • The base station in the system can map beams with a high probability of being selected as the best performing beam at a terminal's location to a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).
  • The CSI-RS is then provided to the terminal, increasing the likelihood of including beams with the best performance.
  • This allows for more effective beam tracking when operating in the aforementioned frequency bands, enabling improved beamforming technology.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:

  • Telecommunications: The 6G communication system can provide faster and more reliable data transmission, benefiting industries such as video streaming, online gaming, and virtual reality.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): The ultra-low delay time and high data transmission rates of the system can support the massive connectivity requirements of IoT devices, enabling efficient communication and data exchange.
  • Autonomous Vehicles: The improved beamforming technology can enhance communication between autonomous vehicles and infrastructure, facilitating safer and more efficient transportation systems.

Problems Solved

The 6G communication system addresses the following problems:

  • Delay Time: The system aims to achieve ultra-low delay time, reducing latency in data transmission and improving real-time communication.
  • Data Transmission Rates: By providing a higher data transmission rate compared to previous generations, the system can support bandwidth-intensive applications and services.
  • Beam Tracking: The system improves beam tracking capabilities, particularly in millimeter wave, terahertz, and ultrahigh frequency bands, ensuring optimal performance in these frequency ranges.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Faster Data Transmission: The system enables higher data transmission rates, allowing for faster and more efficient communication.
  • Improved Beamforming: By increasing the probability of including beams with the best performance, the system enhances beamforming technology, leading to better signal quality and coverage.
  • Enhanced Connectivity: The ultra-low delay time and high data transmission rates of the system improve connectivity, supporting a wide range of applications and services.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a 6G communication system for accomplishing ultra-low delay time and a data transmission rate higher than that of 4G and 5G communication systems. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a base station can match (or map), to a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), beams having a high probability of being selected as the beam with the best performance at the location of a terminal, and can provide the CSI-RS to the terminal. Therefore, the possibility of the inclusion of the beams with the best performance from among the beams corresponding to the CSI-RS can be increased. Thus, beam tracking with more improved performance can be performed when a beamforming technology is operated in millimeter wave and terahertz bands, or ultrahigh frequency bands or higher.
