ENHANCE DOWNLINK PERFORMANCE BY ACTIVATING RECEIVER ANTENNAS IN HIGH-SPEED ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546153 titled 'ENHANCE DOWNLINK PERFORMANCE BY ACTIVATING RECEIVER ANTENNAS IN HIGH-SPEED ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, specifically focusing on how a user equipment (UE) can receive downlink messages within a wireless channel resource using different antenna subsets based on the speed environment in which the UE is operating.

  • User equipment (UE) receives control signaling from a base station for scheduling downlink message transmission.
  • UE selects a first antenna subset to receive the downlink message.
  • UE identifies a second antenna subset available for receiving the message based on the speed environment.
  • UE monitors the wireless channel resource for downlink reception using the selected antenna subsets.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G and future wireless communication systems
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Autonomous vehicles for efficient data transmission

Problems Solved

  • Efficient utilization of antenna subsets based on the operating environment
  • Improved downlink message reception in varying speed environments

Benefits

  • Enhanced communication reliability
  • Optimal use of available antennas for better signal reception
  • Increased data transmission efficiency

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized Antenna Selection for Wireless Communications

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of multiple antennas for MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) communication systems in wireless networks.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?

This article does not address the potential impact of using different antenna subsets on the battery life of the user equipment.

What are the implications of this technology on network interference and congestion?

The article does not discuss how the use of multiple antenna subsets may affect network interference and congestion in wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receiving, from abase station, control signaling scheduling transmission of a downlink message within a wireless channel resource. The UE may select a first antenna subset of a plurality of antennas of the UE to receive the downlink message. The UE may identify that a second antenna subset of antennas of the plurality of antennas of the UE is currently available to use for receiving the downlink message based at least in part on detecting a speed environment in which the UE is operating. The UE may monitor, for downlink reception of the downlink message, the wireless channel resource using the first antenna subset and one or more antennas of the second antenna subset.
