Methods and Apparatus for Device Type and Channel State Information Feedback over Initial Access Message in Wireless Communication - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17441623 titled 'Methods and Apparatus for Device Type and Channel State Information Feedback over Initial Access Message in Wireless Communication

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application is about wireless devices, circuits, and methods for triggering earlier Channel State Information (CSI) feedback. - The wireless device sends a signal to a wireless station indicating that it needs earlier CSI feedback, possibly because it has a reduced capability to receive messages. - In response to the signal, the wireless station sends a modified message to the wireless device, which triggers the earlier CSI feedback. - The wireless device then sends the earlier CSI feedback to the wireless station using a message related to a RACH procedure. - The connection between the wireless device and the wireless station is completed based on the transmitted CSI feedback, after a repeated number of initial access messages from the wireless station.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects herein relate to wireless devices, circuits, and methods for triggering earlier Channel State Information (CSI) feedback, comprising: transmitting, by a wireless device to a wireless station, an indication to provide earlier CSI feedback (e.g., wherein the indication comprises an indication that the wireless device has a reduced capability to receive messages); receiving from the wireless station, in response to the indication, a modified message (e.g., a Downlink Control Information or modified Medium Access Control Random Access Response), wherein the modified message triggers an earlier CSI feedback from the wireless device; transmitting to the wireless station, in response to receiving the modified message, the earlier CSI feedback using a message related to a RACH procedure (e.g., a Msg3); and completing a connection to the wireless station, e.g., in response to a repeated number of initial access messages broadcast from the wireless station and based on the transmitted CSI feedback.
