METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYSTEM INFORMATION ACQUISITION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18471757 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYSTEM INFORMATION ACQUISITION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a pre-5th generation (5G) or 5G communication system that supports higher data rates beyond the 4th generation (4G) communication system, such as LTE. This system is expected to operate in higher frequencies above 6 GHz, known as mmWave and/or cmWave, due to the availability of large spectrum bandwidths. The physical layer of this wireless cellular system in both downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) operates in mmWave/cmWave and uses a new air-interface different from LTE-A because the radio characteristics are different in these bands. The mmWave/cmWave system is expected to employ DL beam sweeping on broadcast control information to provide cell coverage to the user equipment (UE), resulting in excessive signaling overhead.
- The patent application relates to a pre-5th generation (5G) or 5G communication system that supports higher data rates beyond 4G systems like LTE.
- The system is designed to operate in higher frequencies above 6 GHz, known as mmWave and/or cmWave, due to the availability of large spectrum bandwidths.
- The physical layer of the wireless cellular system in mmWave/cmWave uses a new air-interface different from LTE-A due to the different radio characteristics in these bands.
- The system employs DL beam sweeping on broadcast control information to provide cell coverage to the UE, resulting in excessive signaling overhead.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Next-generation wireless cellular networks that support higher data rates and improved performance.
- Enhanced mobile broadband services with faster download and upload speeds.
- Improved network capacity and coverage in densely populated areas.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Overcoming the limitations of 4G systems and providing higher data rates and improved performance.
- Addressing the need for larger spectrum bandwidths to support the increasing demand for wireless communication.
- Dealing with the challenges of operating in higher frequencies above 6 GHz, such as mmWave and cmWave.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster and more reliable wireless communication with higher data rates.
- Improved network capacity and coverage, especially in crowded areas.
- Enhanced user experience with reduced latency and higher quality of service.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). Next generation of wireless cellular operation is expected to be deployed in higher frequency above 6 GHz (e.g., 10 GHz˜100 GHz, also called mmWave and/or cmWave) due to availability of large amount of spectrum bandwidths. The physical layer of wireless cellular system in both DL and UL operating in mmWave/cmWave would be based on new air-interface different from that of LTE-A air-interface because the radio characteristics is different for mmWave/cmWave bands. The wireless system deployed in mmWave/cmWave system is expected to employ DL beam sweeping on broadcast control information to provide cell coverage to the UE which would result in excessive signaling overhead.
