METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROUND-TRIP CARRIER-PHASE OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347495 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROUND-TRIP CARRIER-PHASE OPERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for round-trip carrier-phase operation in a wireless communication system. It involves operating a user equipment (UE) by receiving a first downlink (DL) position reference signal (PRS) from a first transmit receive point (TRP) and measuring the carrier phase associated with the center frequency of the DL PRS. The method also includes including the carrier phase measurement and a DL reference signal time difference (RSTD) measurement or a UE receive-transmit time difference measurement in a measurement report, which is then transmitted.

  • The patent application focuses on round-trip carrier-phase operation in wireless communication systems.
  • It involves receiving a DL PRS and measuring the carrier phase associated with its center frequency.
  • The method includes including the carrier phase measurement and a DL RSTD measurement or a UE receive-transmit time difference measurement in a measurement report.
  • The measurement report is then transmitted.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems can benefit from improved round-trip carrier-phase operation.
  • This technology can be used in various wireless communication devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.
  • It can enhance the accuracy and reliability of carrier-phase measurements in wireless communication systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Round-trip carrier-phase operation can help overcome challenges related to accurate carrier-phase measurements in wireless communication systems.
  • It addresses issues related to DL PRS measurements and carrier-phase synchronization.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability of carrier-phase measurements in wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced performance of wireless communication devices.
  • Better synchronization and coordination in wireless communication networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for round-trip carrier-phase operation in a wireless communication system. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a first transmit receive point (TRP), a first downlink (DL) position reference signal (PRS) and measuring a first carrier phase associated with a center frequency of the first DL PRS. The method further includes including, in a measurement report, (i) a carrier phase measurement based on the measurement of the first carrier phase and (ii) a DL reference signal time difference (RSTD) measurement or a UE receive-transmit time difference measurement and transmitting the measurement report.
