TERMINAL, BASE STATION, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18397850 titled 'TERMINAL, BASE STATION, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a terminal that receives system information related to a tracking reference signal (TRS) and controls the reception of downlink control information based on this system information.

  • The terminal includes a receiving unit for system information on a resource and/or period for a TRS.
  • The control unit manages the reception of downlink control information, including indication information about the availability of the TRS in a resource and/or period based on the system information.
  • The control unit also regulates the validity time of the indication information in the downlink control information using information about the validity time included in the system information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in wireless communication systems, such as 5G networks, to enhance the efficiency of TRS utilization and improve overall network performance.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient utilization of tracking reference signals in wireless communication systems. 2. Improved control over the reception of downlink control information based on system information.

Benefits

1. Enhanced network performance and reliability. 2. Optimal utilization of system resources. 3. Improved communication efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing TRS utilization in 5G networks for better network performance and user experience.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to the management of TRS in wireless communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?

This technology could potentially affect battery life in mobile devices due to the optimized utilization of system resources and improved communication efficiency. However, the extent of this impact is not explicitly addressed in the abstract.

What are the potential security implications of controlling the reception of downlink control information based on system information?

The abstract does not mention any security implications of this technology. It would be important to consider how this control mechanism could impact the security of the communication system and whether it introduces any vulnerabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

A terminal includes: a receiving unit which receives system information including information on a resource and/or a period for a tracking reference signal (TRS); and a control unit which controls reception of downlink control information including indication information about availability of the TRS in a resource and/or a period configured based on the system information. The control unit controls validity time of the indication information included in the downlink control information based on information about the validity time, the information being included in the system information.
