USER EQUIPMENT BEAM SELECTION AND REFINEMENT FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240048213 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT BEAM SELECTION AND REFINEMENT FOR CARRIER AGGREGATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces a user equipment (UE) that can obtain measurements for different combinations of beams and component carriers supported by the UE. The UE selects a first beam with the highest measurement across all component carriers and determines a set of candidate beams based on these measurements. The UE then selects an active beam from the set of candidate beams based on an average measurement or the difference between maximum and minimum measurements across all component carriers. The UE can communicate with the network entity using the active beam.
- User equipment (UE) obtains per-beam, per-component carrier measurements for unique combinations of beams and component carriers.
- UE selects a first beam with the highest per-beam, per-component carrier measurement across all component carriers.
- UE determines a set of candidate beams based on the measurements, where the candidate beams have measurements within a defined value of the first beam's measurements.
- UE selects an active beam from the set of candidate beams based on an average measurement or the difference between maximum and minimum measurements across all component carriers.
- UE communicates with the network entity using the active beam.
Potential Applications:
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Beamforming technologies
Problems Solved:
- Efficient selection of beams and component carriers for wireless communications
- Optimizing communication performance in wireless networks
Benefits:
- Improved signal quality and reliability
- Enhanced network capacity and coverage
- Efficient resource allocation in wireless networks
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. a user equipment (ue) may obtain per-beam, per-component carrier measurements for unique combinations of beams and component carriers supported by the ue. the ue may select a first beam that has a highest per-beam, per-component carrier measurement across all component carriers. in addition, the ue may determine a set of candidate beams based on the measurements. for example, beams included in the set of candidate beams may have per-beam, per-component carrier measurements within some defined value of the measurements corresponding to the first beam. the ue may select an active beam from the set of candidate beams based on an average per-beam, per-component carrier measurement or a difference between maximum and minimum per-beam, per-component carrier measurements of each candidate beam across all component carriers. the ue may communicate with the network entity using the active beam.
