MANAGING BEAM SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452412 titled 'MANAGING BEAM SELECTION

Simplified Explanation

This disclosure relates to a system and method for managing beam selection in wireless communication. It involves determining whether a pre-grant acknowledgement associated with a first beam has been received within an expected receive time. If the acknowledgement is not received, an indication is generated to prevent the use of the first beam for a blocking duration.

  • The patent application is about managing beam selection in wireless communication.
  • It involves determining if a pre-grant acknowledgement for a specific beam has been received within an expected time.
  • If the acknowledgement is not received, the initiating wireless device is prevented from using the beam for a certain duration.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Cellular networks
  • Satellite communication
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient beam selection in wireless communication
  • Avoiding the use of beams that do not receive acknowledgements
  • Improving communication reliability and performance

Benefits:

  • Enhanced reliability of wireless communication
  • Improved network efficiency
  • Reduced interference and congestion
  • Optimal utilization of available beams


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing beam selection. In one aspect, an initiating wireless device may determine whether a pre-grant acknowledgement associated with a first beam has been received from a responding wireless device within an expected receive time. The initiating wireless device may generate an indication to prevent the initiating wireless device from using the first beam for a blocking duration in response to determining that the pre-grant acknowledgement associated with the first beam has not been received within the expected receive time.
