UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE SELECTION FOR PHYSICAL DOWNLINK SHARED CHANNEL OR PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18365944 titled 'UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE SELECTION FOR PHYSICAL DOWNLINK SHARED CHANNEL OR PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS

Simplified Explanation

The present application is about selecting activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for communications between a network and a user equipment (UE). The network has multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) with which the UE communicates. The activated TCI states can be unified downlink or uplink TCI states that have already been activated by the network for the UE. The UE can determine, based on predefined rules or network-based signaling, which activated TCI states to use for downlink or uplink communication with the network.

  • The patent application is about selecting activated TCI states for communication between a network and a user equipment.
  • The network has multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) with which the user equipment communicates.
  • The activated TCI states can be unified downlink or uplink TCI states that have already been activated by the network for the user equipment.
  • The user equipment can determine which activated TCI states to use for communication based on predefined rules or network-based signaling.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved communication between networks and user equipment.
  • Enhanced transmission configuration selection for downlink and uplink communication.
  • Efficient utilization of transmission resources.
  • Seamless handover between different transmission and reception points.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of selecting transmission configuration states for communication.
  • Reduces the complexity of managing multiple downlink and uplink channels.
  • Improves the overall efficiency and reliability of communication between networks and user equipment.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced communication performance and reliability.
  • Optimized utilization of transmission resources.
  • Simplified management of transmission configuration states.
  • Seamless handover between different transmission and reception points.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present application relates to selecting one or more of activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for communications between a network and a user equipment. In an example, the network includes multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) with which the UE communications. An activated TCI state can be a unified downlink TCI state that applies to multiple downlink channels or a unified uplink TCI state that applies to multiple uplink channels, where this state has already been activated by the network for the UE. Based on a predefined set of rules or network-based signaling, the UE can determine for a downlink or uplink communication with the network, one or more of the activated TCI states to use to then perform the downlink or uplink communication with the network.
