TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLICIT PATHLOSS REFERENCE SIGNALING IN TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129988 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLICIT PATHLOSS REFERENCE SIGNALING IN TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATORS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for wireless communication using an implicit pathloss reference signal (PLRS) in a transmission configuration indication (TCI) in the absence of an explicit indication of PLRS. The method involves receiving a TCI state configuration from a base station, determining that PLRS is not explicitly indicated, obtaining a default PLRS, and transmitting uplink power control information based on the default PLRS in an uplink transmission.

• Explanation of the patent:

- Receiving TCI state configuration from a base station - Determining PLRS is not explicitly indicated - Obtaining default PLRS - Transmitting uplink power control information based on default PLRS

Original Abstract Submitted

techniques for using implicit pathloss reference signal (rs) in a transmission configuration indication (tci) may be performed. in an example, a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (ue), may include receiving, from a base station, a tci state configuration. the method may also include determining a plrs is not explicitly indicated by the tci state configuration. the method may also include obtaining a default plrs in response to the plrs not being explicitly indicated by the tci state configuration. the method may also include transmitting, to the base station, uplink (ul) power control information based on the default plrs in a ul transmission.
