SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL CONFIGURATION AND ACTIVATION FOR PARTIAL FREQUENCY SOUNDING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18547838 titled 'SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL CONFIGURATION AND ACTIVATION FOR PARTIAL FREQUENCY SOUNDING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, specifically focusing on partial frequency sounding of reference signals.

  • User equipment (UE) receives control signaling for a first sounding reference signal from a base station.
  • The UE determines a subset of resources configured for the first sounding reference signal based on a set of parameters associated with partial frequency sounding.
  • The subset of resources excludes at least one resource from the set of resources.
  • The UE transmits a second sounding reference signal over the subset of resources to the base station.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 5G networks, to improve signal quality and efficiency.

Problems Solved

This innovation helps in optimizing the use of resources for sounding reference signals, leading to better network performance and reduced interference.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For instance, a user equipment (UE) may receive. from a base station, control signaling for a first sounding reference signal. The UE may determine, based on the configuration and a set of parameters associated with partial frequency sounding of the first sounding reference signal, a subset of a set of re sources configured for the first sounding reference signal, where the subset of the set of resources excludes at least one resource of the set of resources. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a second sounding reference signal over the subset of the set of resources.
