DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FRONTHAUL TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: abstract simplified (18334689)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18334689 Titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FRONTHAUL TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a new communication system called pre-5G or 5G that aims to support higher data rates compared to the existing 4G LTE system. The system includes a device called a radio unit (RU) that is part of a base station in a wireless communication system. The RU device consists of at least one transceiver and at least one processor. The processor is designed to receive a control message from a digital unit (DU) through a fronthaul interface. This control message contains a section extension field that provides additional information. The processor then uses this additional information to acquire a beamforming weight. The control message is primarily used to schedule a terminal in the control plane of the system.

Original Abstract Submitted

A pre-5-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) is provided. The device of a radio unit (RU) of a base station in a wireless communication system includes at least one transceiver and at least one processor coupled to the at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive a first control message including a section extension field from a digital unit (DU) via a fronthaul interface, identify additional information based on the section extension field, and acquire a beamforming weight based on the additional information, wherein the first control message is configured to schedule a terminal in a control plane.
