ADAPTIVE ANTENNA SWITCHING AND RESOURCE CONFIGURATION WITHIN A BANDWIDTH PART - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18264224 titled 'ADAPTIVE ANTENNA SWITCHING AND RESOURCE CONFIGURATION WITHIN A BANDWIDTH PART

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The patent application focuses on the configuration and activation of resource sets for reference signal transmission in a user equipment (UE) using a bandwidth part (BWP) and one or more antenna ports.

• The UE receives control signaling from a base station indicating a configuration for selecting one or more resource sets for the BWP.
• Each resource set comprises reference signal resources corresponding to one or more antenna ports of the UE.
• The UE receives an activation message from the base station instructing the activation of at least one resource set for reference signal transmission using the BWP.
• The UE then transmits a reference signal over the activated resource set using the BWP and at least one antenna port based on the activation message.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems and networks
• Mobile devices and smartphones
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• 5G and future generations of wireless networks

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient configuration and activation of resource sets for reference signal transmission in wireless communications
• Optimal utilization of available bandwidth and antenna ports
• Improved signal quality and reliability in wireless communication systems

Benefits of this technology:

• Enhanced performance and efficiency in wireless communication systems
• Improved signal coverage and capacity
• Better user experience with faster and more reliable wireless connections

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling indicating a configuration for use by the UE to select one or more of a plurality of resource sets for a bandwidth part (BWP) for the UE, where each of the resource sets comprise reference signal resources that correspond to one or more antenna ports of the UE. The UE may receive, from the base station, an activation message instructing the UE to activate at least one resource set of the plurality of resource sets for reference signal transmission using the BWP. The UE may transmit a reference signal over the activated resource set using the BWP and at least one antenna port of the one or more antenna ports based at least in part on the activation message, the antenna port corresponding to the activated resource set.
