BEAM MANAGEMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492032 titled 'BEAM MANAGEMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for optimizing beam management between a reconfigurable intelligent meta-surface (RIS) and a terminal device. The method involves determining measurement information based on a beam set, sending the measurement information, and communicating with the RIS through a beam. The beam set is determined based on the location information of the terminal device, and the measurement information is determined by the terminal device based on a beam corresponding to a downlink reference signal.
- The method optimizes beam management between a RIS and a terminal device.
- Measurement information is determined based on a beam set and sent to the RIS.
- Communication with the RIS is done through a specific beam.
- The beam set is determined based on the location information of the terminal device.
- The measurement information is determined by the terminal device based on a specific beam.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- 5G and beyond networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Smart cities and infrastructure
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inefficient beam management procedures
- High system overheads in beam management
- Suboptimal communication between RIS and terminal devices
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved beam management efficiency
- Reduced system overheads
- Enhanced communication between RIS and terminal devices
- Increased performance and reliability of wireless networks
Original Abstract Submitted
A beam management method and apparatus to optimize a beam management procedure between a reconfigurable intelligent meta-surface (RIS) and a terminal device, so that beam management efficiency may be improved, and system overheads may be reduced. The method includes: determining first measurement information based on information of a beam set, sending the first measurement information, and communicating with a RIS through a first beam, where the beam set is determined based on first location information of a terminal device, the beam set includes one or more beams between the RIS and the terminal device, the first measurement information includes information determined by the terminal device based on a beam corresponding to a downlink reference signal, and the first beam is a beam in the beam set.
