ADAPTIVE BEAMFORMING BASED ON JPTA FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SYSTEMS FOR SMART REPEATERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479742 titled 'ADAPTIVE BEAMFORMING BASED ON JPTA FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SYSTEMS FOR SMART REPEATERS
Simplified Explanation
The smart repeater described in the patent application is designed to receive a reference signal and subcarrier allocation from a base station, then retransmit a downlink beam associated with multiple user equipments (UEs) based on a beam split configuration determined by a processor.
- The transceiver receives a reference signal and subcarrier allocation from a base station.
- The processor determines a beam split configuration for the downlink beam based on the subcarrier allocation.
- The transceiver generates frequency-dependent beams for each UE and directs them accordingly.
Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted
A smart repeater includes a transceiver configured to receive a reference signal, receive, from a base station (BS), a subcarrier allocation for a plurality of user equipments (UEs), receive, from the BS, a downlink (DL) beam associated with the plurality of UEs, and retransmit the DL beam. The smart repeater further includes a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine a beam split configuration for the DL beam based on the subcarrier allocation, and cause the transceiver to retransmit the DL beam according to the beam split configuration. To retransmit the DL beam according to the beam split configuration the transceiver is further configured to generate a frequency dependent beam for each of the plurality of UEs, and direct the frequency dependent beam for each of the plurality of UEs to a UE associated with the frequency dependent beam.
