METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTER-CELL DOWNLINK AND UPLINK BEAM INDICATION, MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18460505 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTER-CELL DOWNLINK AND UPLINK BEAM INDICATION, MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Here are the key points:
- The UE receives information about a physical cell identifier (PCI) that is different from the serving cell PCI.
- The UE also receives information about source or measurement reference signals (RSs) for the PCI.
- Based on transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, the first information, and the second information, the UE determines a reception spatial domain filter for receiving downlink RSs and channels from the PCI.
- The UE measures the measurement RS based on the first information and the second information.
- Based on the measured measurement RSs, the first information, and the second information, the UE determines a beam report and transmits it on an uplink (UL) channel for the PCI.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This method can improve the performance of UE in a wireless communication system by optimizing the reception of downlink RSs and channels from a specific PCI.
- It can enhance the accuracy of measurement RSs and beam reports, leading to better overall system performance.
- The method can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 4G LTE and 5G, to improve the efficiency of communication between UEs and base stations.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method addresses the issue of interference caused by neighboring cells with different PCIs by optimizing the reception spatial domain filter.
- It solves the problem of inaccurate measurement RSs and beam reports by considering the TCI states and the received information.
- The method improves the reliability and accuracy of communication between UEs and base stations by optimizing the reception and transmission of RSs and channels.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced performance and efficiency of UEs in wireless communication systems.
- Improved accuracy and reliability of measurement RSs and beam reports.
- Better management of interference from neighboring cells with different PCIs.
- Increased overall system performance and capacity.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of operating a user equipment (UE) includes receiving first information for a physical cell identifier (PCI) different from a serving cell PCI; receiving second information for source or measurement reference signals (RSs) for the PCI; determining, based on one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, the first information, and the second information, a reception spatial domain filter for reception of at least one of downlink (DL) RSs and channels from the PCI; and measuring, based on the first information and the second information, the measurement RS. The method further includes determining, based on the measured measurement RSs, the first information, and the second information, a beam report and transmitting the beam report for the PCI on an uplink (UL) channel. A beam refers to a spatial property used to receive or transmit a source RS or a channel.
