TRP-Specific PUSCH Transmissions for Multi-TRP Operation - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464437 titled 'TRP-Specific PUSCH Transmissions for Multi-TRP Operation

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment (UE) that can communicate with multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs). The UE receives a configuration for a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set, which includes two resource sets corresponding to two different TRPs. The UE also receives a downlink control information (DCI) transmission that includes an SRS resource indicator (SRI). The SRI indicates which resource from each resource set should be selected for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to each TRP. The UE then transmits the PUSCH transmissions to the respective TRPs.

  • The patent application describes a method for a UE to communicate with multiple TRPs.
  • The UE receives a configuration for SRS resource sets, which are used for transmitting PUSCH.
  • The UE receives a DCI transmission that includes an SRS resource indicator (SRI).
  • The SRI indicates which resource from each resource set should be selected for PUSCH transmission to each TRP.
  • The UE then transmits the PUSCH transmissions to the respective TRPs.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems where a UE needs to communicate with multiple TRPs.
  • It can be used in cellular networks to improve the efficiency and capacity of the network.

Problems Solved

  • This technology solves the problem of efficiently communicating with multiple TRPs using a single UE.
  • It provides a method for selecting the appropriate resources for PUSCH transmission to each TRP.

Benefits

  • The technology allows for improved communication efficiency and capacity in wireless networks.
  • It enables a UE to effectively transmit data to multiple TRPs using the appropriate resources.
  • The method described in the patent application can be implemented in existing wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) is configured to communicate with one or more transmission and reception points (TRPs). The UE receives a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set configuration including a first resource set corresponding to a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second resource set corresponding to a second TRP, receives a downlink control information (DCI) transmission including an SRS resource indicator (SRI) indicating (i) which resource from the first resource set should be selected for a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to a first TRP, and (ii) which resource from the second resource set should be selected for a second PUSCH transmission to a second TRP and transmits the first PUSCH transmission to the first TRP and the second PUSCH transmission to the second TRP.
