METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR PHYSICAL LAYER BEAM INDICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18472102 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR PHYSICAL LAYER BEAM INDICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for physical layer beam indications in a user equipment (UE). The UE receives transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) channels, as well as TCI state identifiers (IDs). It then transmits an acknowledgement in response to the received TCI state IDs. Based on the acknowledgement, the UE determines one or more second TCI states and the time to apply them. It also updates spatial filters based on the second TCI states. The UE then receives and transmits data on the DL and UL channels using the updated spatial filters.

  • The patent application describes a method for operating a UE to optimize the reception and transmission of DL and UL channels.
  • The UE receives TCI states and TCI state IDs, and transmits an acknowledgement in response.
  • Based on the acknowledgement, the UE determines second TCI states and the time to apply them.
  • The UE updates spatial filters based on the second TCI states.
  • The UE then uses the updated spatial filters to receive and transmit data on the DL and UL channels.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Mobile devices and smartphones
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • 5G and future generations of wireless networks

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Optimization of DL and UL channel reception and transmission
  • Efficient use of spatial filters
  • Improved wireless communication performance and reliability

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced data transmission and reception quality
  • Increased network capacity and efficiency
  • Improved user experience with faster and more reliable wireless connections


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for physical layer beam indications. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) includes receiving one or more first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for reception and transmission of downlink (DL) channels and uplink (UL) channels, respectively; receiving one or more TCI state identifiers (IDs); and transmitting an acknowledgement in response to the reception of the one or more TCI state IDs. The method further includes, based on the acknowledgement: determining, based on the one or more TCI state IDs, one or more second TCI states; determining a time to apply the one or more second TCI states; and updating one or more spatial filters based on the one or more second TCI states. The method further includes receiving and transmitting data on the DL channel and UL channels, respectively, using the one or more spatial filters starting at the determined time.
