METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING SETTINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18343525 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING SETTINGS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatus for configuring measurement and reporting settings in a wireless communication system. It specifically focuses on enabling group-based frequency selective beam reporting using channel state information (CSI) reporting settings.

  • The method involves receiving first information for a CSI reporting setting that enables group-based frequency selective beam reporting.
  • The method also involves receiving second information indicating a set of frequency subbands for the CSI reporting setting.
  • Based on the first and second information, the method determines one or more groups of resource indicators.
  • In a first beam report, the method transmits the one or more groups of resource indicators.
  • Each group of resource indicators corresponds to at least one frequency subband from the set of frequency subbands.
  • The resource indicators can be synchronization signal block resource indicators (SSBRI) or CSI reference signal resource indicators (CRI).

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • 5G and beyond networks
  • Beamforming and beam reporting techniques

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient configuration of measurement and reporting settings in wireless communication systems
  • Enabling group-based frequency selective beam reporting
  • Improving the accuracy and reliability of channel state information reporting

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced performance and efficiency in wireless communication systems
  • Improved beamforming and beam management capabilities
  • Better utilization of frequency subbands for reporting purposes


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatus for configuring measurement and reporting settings in a wireless communication system. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving first information for a channel state information (CSI) reporting setting to enable group based frequency selective beam reporting and receiving second information indicating a set of frequency subbands for the CSI reporting setting. The method further includes determining, based on the first and second information, one or more groups of resource indicators and transmitting, in a first beam report, the one or more groups of resource indicators. Each group of the one or more groups of resource indicators respectively corresponds to at least one frequency subband from the set of frequency subbands. A resource indicator from the one or more groups of resource indicators is a synchronization signal block resource indicator (SSBRI) or a CSI reference signal resource indicator (CRI).
