METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113825 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to methods and apparatuses for sounding reference signal transmission in a wireless network.
- The apparatus receives a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration from a network device.
- The apparatus receives a message indicating which SRS resource set is configured to follow or not follow specific transmission configuration indication (TCI) states.
- The apparatus transmits an SRS based on the indication received.
Potential Applications: - Wireless communication networks - 5G technology - Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient uplink channel sounding - Dynamic detachment of SRS resource sets
Benefits: - Improved network performance - Enhanced resource utilization - Reduced interference
Potential Commercial Applications: Optimizing uplink channel performance in 5G networks
Possible Prior Art: Prior art may include methods and apparatuses for uplink channel sounding in wireless networks, but the dynamic detachment of SRS resource sets based on TCI states may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the dynamic detachment of SRS resource sets impact overall network efficiency? 2. Are there any limitations to the implementation of this technology in different network environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatuses for sounding reference signal transmission. according to some embodiments, an apparatus is caused at least to: receive, from a network device sounding reference signal (srs) configuration comprising one or more srs resource sets; receive, from the network device, a message comprising an indication of which one of the one or more srs resource sets is configured or enabled to follow or not follow corresponding one or more indicated transmission configuration indication (tci) states from an activated tci list for the apparatus; and transmit, to the network device, an srs based on the indication. in this way, srs resource sets may be dynamically detached to not follow specific tci state and used for sounding the uplink channel in an efficient manner.
