ADJUSTING COMMUNICATIONS OPERATIONS FOR CHANGES TO CONFIGURATIONS FOR QUASI CO-LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ANTENNA ELEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129922 titled 'ADJUSTING COMMUNICATIONS OPERATIONS FOR CHANGES TO CONFIGURATIONS FOR QUASI CO-LOCATION AND NUMBER OF ANTENNA ELEMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications where a first device can determine a state change based on communication conditions with a second device and adjust antenna elements accordingly.

  • Explanation:
  • The first device detects a change in communication conditions with the second device.
  • Based on this change, the first device adjusts its antenna elements.
  • The first device then sends a request to the second device to make corresponding adjustments to its antenna elements.
  • The second device confirms the adjustment and both devices communicate according to the new settings.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • IoT devices
  • Mobile devices

Problems Solved

  • Smartphones
  • IoT devices
  • Wireless routers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of adaptive antenna systems in wireless communications to improve signal quality and coverage.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in wireless devices?

This article does not address the potential impact of these adjustments on the battery life of the devices. It would be interesting to know if the antenna adjustments have any effect on power consumption.

Are there any limitations to the range of adjustments that can be made to the antenna elements?

The article does not mention any limitations on the adjustments that can be made to the antenna elements. It would be important to understand if there are any constraints on the range of adjustments that can be implemented.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a first device may determine a state change based on a condition associated with communications between the first device and a second device and perform an adjustment for one or more sets of antenna elements of the first device based on the state change. a state change may, for example, include a change of an antenna configuration or a quasi co-location (qcl) configuration of the respective device. based on determining the state change, the first device may transmit a state change request to the second device. according to the state change request, the second device may perform an adjustment for a set of one or more of its antenna elements. the second device may transmit an indication of an adjustment to the first device, and the first device and the second device may communicate according to the adjustment.
