CSI ENHANCEMENT FOR SBFD CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107461 titled 'CSI ENHANCEMENT FOR SBFD CONFIGURATION

Simplified Explanation

A network node may transmit a Reference Signal (RS) to a User Equipment (UE) in a symbol or a slot. The RS may cover multiple downlink subbands with non-contiguous subcarriers in the symbol or slot. Some downlink subbands may be separated by an uplink subband. The RS may include a Channel State Information RS (CSI-RS) for the UE to measure and generate CSI metrics. The UE sends a CSI report to the network node based on the RS and CSI metrics.

  • Network node transmits RS to UE in symbol or slot
  • RS covers multiple non-contiguous downlink subbands
  • Downlink subbands separated by uplink subband
  • RS includes CSI-RS for UE to measure
  • UE generates CSI metrics based on RS measurement
  • UE sends CSI report to network node based on RS and CSI metrics
