USER EQUIPMENT CAPABILITY REPORTING FOR JOINT DOWNLINK AND UPLINK BEAM REPORTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240097763 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT CAPABILITY REPORTING FOR JOINT DOWNLINK AND UPLINK BEAM REPORTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for a user equipment (UE) to transmit joint channel state information (CSI) reports for both uplink beams and downlink beams to a base station (BS).

  • The UE can measure metrics based on CSI reference signals (RS) or synchronization signal blocks (SSB).
  • The UE determines CSI metrics, including at least one downlink metric and at least one uplink metric for at least one set of uplink panel identifiers (IDs).
  • The UE transmits the joint CSI report including the metrics and the set of uplink panel IDs.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G and beyond wireless communication systems
  • Beamforming and beam management in cellular networks

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Efficient transmission of CSI reports for both uplink and downlink beams
  • Improving beamforming performance in wireless communication systems

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced communication reliability and efficiency
  • Optimal beam management for improved network performance

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Telecommunication companies for improving network performance
  • Equipment manufacturers for developing advanced UE devices

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be related to similar techniques used in LTE or previous generations of wireless communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a user equipment (ue) to transmit a joint channel state information (csi) report for both uplink beams and downlink beams and for a base station (bs) to receive the joint csi report. the bs may configure the ue to measure metrics based on csi reference signals (rs) or synchronization signal blocks (ssb). the ue may measure the csi-rs or ssb to determine csi metrics including at least one downlink metric and at least one uplink metric for at least one set of uplink panel identifiers (ids). the ue may transmit the joint csi report including the at least one downlink metric, the at least one uplink metric, and the set of uplink panel ids associated with the at least one uplink metric.
