ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM TRANSMITTER CIRCLE SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18263122 titled 'ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM TRANSMITTER CIRCLE SELECTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications involving reference signals and orbital angular momentum (OAM) transmissions.
- First device (e.g., base station) transmits reference signals to a second device (e.g., user equipment) via transmitter antenna circles.
- Second device receives and measures the reference signals via corresponding receiver antenna circles.
- Transmitter and receiver antenna circles include a center antenna circle and peripheral antenna circles.
- Second device transmits channel gain measurements to the first device based on measuring the reference signals.
- First device determines OAM modes and a power loading scheme for the transmitter antenna circles based on the channel gain measurements.
- First device transmits OAM transmissions to the second device based on the determined OAM modes and power loading scheme.
- OAM transmissions may have different OAM states, polarizations, or both.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device (e.g., a base station) may transmit reference signals to a second device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) via transmitter antenna circles. The second device may receive and measure the reference signals via corresponding receiver antenna circles. Both the transmitter antenna circles and the in receiver antenna circles may include a center antenna circle and one or more peripheral antenna circles. The second device may transmit channel gain measurements to the first device based on measuring the reference signals. The first device may determine orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes, a power loading scheme, or both for the transmitter antenna circles based on the channel gain measurements. The first device may transmit OAM transmissions to the second device based on the determined OAM modes, the power loading scheme, or both. The OAM transmissions may have different OAM states, polarizations, or both.
