BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY VIA RELAY NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464791 titled 'BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY VIA RELAY NODE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to wireless communication and specifically addresses beam failure recovery (BFR) in a network.
- User equipment (UE) can send a BFR message when a link fails, whether it's an indirect link through a relay node or a direct link with the network node.
- The BFR message is transmitted on a different link than the failed one, and the UE can receive an updated beam configuration for the failed link based on the message.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- 5G and future wireless communication systems
- IoT devices requiring reliable connections
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Improving network reliability
- Enhancing communication efficiency
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Faster recovery from link failures
- Better overall network performance
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be used in:
- Telecommunications companies
- IoT device manufacturers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be:
- Beamforming techniques in wireless communication systems
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life in UE devices?
The article does not address the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of user equipment devices. This could be an important consideration for practical implementation.
What are the potential security implications of transmitting BFR messages over different links?
The article does not discuss the security aspects of transmitting BFR messages on different links. It would be essential to understand any vulnerabilities or risks associated with this approach.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a beam failure recovery (BFR) message regarding a failed link, wherein the failed link is one of an indirect link with a network node via a relay node or a direct link with the network node, wherein the BFR message is transmitted on one of the indirect link or the direct link that is not the failed link. The UE may receive an updated beam configuration for the failed link on a selected beam indicated by the BFR message. Numerous other aspects are described.
