USING MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL CONTROL ELEMENTS TO SCHEDULE SEMI-PERSISTENT SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNALS FOR POSITIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18513395 titled 'USING MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL CONTROL ELEMENTS TO SCHEDULE SEMI-PERSISTENT SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNALS FOR POSITIONING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication, specifically focusing on the activation and deactivation of a semi-persistent sounding reference signal (SRS) for positioning. Here are the key points:

  • User equipment (UE) receives a medium access control control element (MAC-CE) from a serving base station, indicating the activation or deactivation of the SP SRS-for-positioning.
  • A reserved bit in the MAC-CE or a logical channel identifier (LCID) of a MAC subheader indicates the activation or deactivation of the SP SRS-for-positioning.
  • The UE transmits the SP SRS-for-positioning on SRS resources configured for the UE, using transmission parameters from a spatial relation reference signal.

Potential Applications

  • Improved positioning accuracy in wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced performance in location-based services and applications.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient activation and deactivation of SRS for positioning.
  • Optimization of transmission parameters for SRS in wireless networks.

Benefits

  • Enhanced positioning capabilities for user equipment.
  • Better utilization of resources in wireless networks.
  • Improved reliability and accuracy in location-based services.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a serving base station, a medium access control control element (MAC-CE) indicating activation or deactivation of a semi-persistent (SP) sounding reference signal (SRS)-for-positioning, wherein a reserved bit in the MAC-CE or a logical channel identifier (LCID) of a MAC subheader of the MAC-CE indicates the activation or deactivation of the SP SRS-for-positioning, and transmits the SP SRS-for-positioning on one or more SRS resources configured for the UE, the SP SRS-for-positioning having transmission parameters adopted from a spatial relation reference signal for the SP SRS-for-positioning.
