BEAM MANAGEMENT WITH FLEXIBLE BEAM-FORMING ASSIGNMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18530754 titled 'BEAM MANAGEMENT WITH FLEXIBLE BEAM-FORMING ASSIGNMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a new transmission beamforming indication based on flexible beamforming assignment in cellular communication networks.
- The invention provides a new transmission beamforming indication based on flexible beamforming assignment on the corresponding reference signal configured in a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state for downlink (DL) or spatial relation information in the uplink (UL).
- The invention allows for updating the transmission beamforming on the reference signal of the TCI state configured for the DL physical channel/reference signal based on reported beamforming in the UL or using UL measurements from Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission.
- Similarly, the spatial relation information configuration used to indicate beamforming in the UL can be updated based on reference signal measurements in the DL or by using Downlink Control Information (DCI) based beam indication in a scheduling request indicator (SRI).

Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed embodiments are related to beam management in cellular communication networks, and in particular, provide a new tranmission (Tx) beamforming indication based on the flexible Tx beam-forming assignment on the corresponding reference signal configured in a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state for downlink (DL) or spatial relation information in the uplink (UL). The Tx beam-forming on the reference signal of the TCI state configured for the DL physical channel/reference signal can be updated based on reported Tx beam in the UL or using UL measurements from Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission. Similarly, spatial relation information configuration used to indicate Tx beam-forming in the UL, may be also updated based on the reference signal measurements in DL or by suing Downlink Control Information (DCI) based beam indication in a scheduling request indicator (SRI). Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
