SMALL GAP DURING UPLINK SWITCH IN MULTI-TRP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17441399 titled 'SMALL GAP DURING UPLINK SWITCH IN MULTI-TRP

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a wireless device that can control the downlink transmission for multi-TRP (Transmission Reception Point) communication.

  • The wireless device includes at least one antenna and at least one radio that is connected to the antenna.
  • The device also has a processor that is connected to the radio and is responsible for controlling the device's operations.
  • The processor is programmed to determine when a gap period is needed between two uplink transmissions to a cellular base station.
  • The first uplink transmission is sent via a first TRP, and the second uplink transmission is sent via a second TRP.
  • The processor then ensures that the two uplink transmissions are performed consecutively with the gap period applied between them.

This innovation allows for more efficient and controlled communication between the wireless device and the cellular base station, especially in multi-TRP scenarios.


Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for providing downlink control for multi-TRP transmission. A wireless device, comprising: at least one antenna; at least one radio coupled to the at least one antenna; and a processor coupled to the at least one radio and configured to cause the wireless device to: determine a gap period is to be applied between a first uplink transmission to a cellular base station via a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second uplink transmission to the cellular base station via a second TRP; and perform the first and second uplink transmissions consecutively with the gap period applied between them.
