TECHNIQUES FOR ACCOUNTING FOR ENERGY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSIONS OVER MULTIPLE ANTENNA GROUPS TOWARDS AN EXPOSURE LIMIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18511795 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR ACCOUNTING FOR ENERGY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSIONS OVER MULTIPLE ANTENNA GROUPS TOWARDS AN EXPOSURE LIMIT

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The focus is on how a user equipment (UE) can transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station using different transmission techniques and multiple antenna groups. The UE has separate exposure budgets for each antenna group due to their spatial separation. The patent also covers accounting procedures for tracking energy contributions associated with the SRS across the multiple antenna groups and power control procedures for setting transmit power for an uplink signal based on these energy contributions.

• User equipment (UE) can transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station using different transmission techniques.
• The UE may have multiple antenna groups with separate exposure budgets due to spatial separation.
• Accounting procedures are employed to track energy contributions of the SRS across the multiple antenna groups.
• Power control procedures are used to set transmit power for an uplink signal based on the energy contributions of the SRS.

Potential Applications

• Wireless communication systems
• 5G networks
• IoT devices

Problems Solved

• Efficient energy management in wireless communications
• Optimizing transmit power for uplink signals
• Enhancing overall system performance

Benefits

• Improved signal transmission quality
• Enhanced network efficiency
• Better utilization of multiple antennas

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station using an SRS antenna switch (SRS-AS) or an SRS carrier switch (SRS-CS) transmission technique and the UE may feature multiple antenna groups that have separate exposure budgets due to their spatial separation. The UE may employ one or more accounting procedures for tracking energy contributions associated with the SRS across the multiple antenna groups of the UE and may employ one or more power control procedures for setting a transmit power for an uplink signal in accordance with the energy contributions associated with the SRS.
