SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED MULTI-BEAM OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18403478 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED MULTI-BEAM OPERATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for mobile communications that involves sidelink transmissions. The user equipment (UE) receives messages with configuration parameters for reference signals associated with uplink beams and a downlink beam. The UE identifies uplink beams associated with the downlink beam, ranks them based on measurements of reference signals, and selects beams that meet exposure limits and are not prone to link failure for transmitting data or control information.
- Explanation:
- System for mobile communications with sidelink transmissions - User equipment receives configuration parameters for reference signals - Identifies and ranks uplink beams associated with a downlink beam - Selects beams meeting exposure limits and not prone to link failure for data transmission
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in: - Cellular networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient utilization of uplink beams - Minimization of exposure to harmful radiation - Mitigation of link failures in communication systems
Benefits
- Improved data transmission reliability - Enhanced network performance - Reduced interference in communication channels
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized for: - 5G networks - Smart city infrastructure - Industrial automation systems
Possible Prior Art
- Prior art related to beamforming in wireless communication systems - Research on sidelink transmissions in cellular networks
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?
The abstract does not mention the impact of this technology on battery life in mobile devices. It would be interesting to know if the selection and transmission process of uplink beams affect the power consumption of the user equipment.
What are the potential security implications of using sidelink transmissions in mobile communications?
The abstract does not address the security aspects of sidelink transmissions. It would be important to understand how this technology may introduce vulnerabilities or enhance security in mobile communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system, method and apparatus for mobile communications including sidelink transmissions is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of reference signals associated with a plurality of uplink beams and a first downlink beam. The UE identifies a plurality of uplink beams associated with the first downlink beam based on a measurement of the reference signals and a corresponding ranking associated with each of the plurality of uplink beams. The UE determines a first plurality of uplink beams that satisfy maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits and that are not subject to link failure. The UE then transmits uplink data or control information using the first uplink beam with the highest ranking.
