USER EQUIPMENT CAPABILITY REPORTING FOR JOINT DOWNLINK AND UPLINK BEAM REPORTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18273706 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT CAPABILITY REPORTING FOR JOINT DOWNLINK AND UPLINK BEAM REPORTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for a user equipment (UE) to transmit joint channel state information (CSI) reports for both uplink beams and downlink beams to a base station (BS). Here are some key points to explain the innovation:
- UE measures metrics based on CSI reference signals (RS) or synchronization signal blocks (SSB)
- Metrics include at least one downlink metric and at least one uplink metric for a set of uplink panel identifiers (IDs)
- UE transmits joint CSI report including metrics and panel IDs to BS
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, specifically in optimizing beamforming and resource allocation for improved network performance.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient transmission of joint CSI reports for uplink and downlink beams 2. Enhanced coordination between UE and BS for better network management
Benefits
1. Improved network efficiency and performance 2. Enhanced user experience with better connectivity 3. Optimal resource allocation for increased capacity
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Beamforming and Resource Allocation in Wireless Communication Systems"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or technologies related to joint CSI reporting in wireless communication systems, but further research is needed to identify specific prior art in this area.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life of the user equipment (UE)?
The patent application does not address the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of the UE. It would be important to understand if the increased measurement and reporting activities have any significant effect on power consumption.
What are the potential security implications of transmitting joint CSI reports between UE and BS?
The patent application does not discuss the security aspects of transmitting joint CSI reports. It would be essential to consider the potential vulnerabilities and safeguards needed to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the reported information.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a user equipment (UE) to transmit a joint channel state information (CSI) report for both uplink beams and downlink beams and for a base station (BS) to receive the joint CSI report. The BS may configure the UE to measure metrics based on CSI reference signals (RS) or synchronization signal blocks (SSB). The UE may measure the CSI-RS or SSB to determine CSI metrics including at least one downlink metric and at least one uplink metric for at least one set of uplink panel identifiers (IDs). The UE may transmit the joint CSI report including the at least one downlink metric, the at least one uplink metric, and the set of uplink panel IDs associated with the at least one uplink metric.
