Technologies For Uplink Gap Triggering And Operation - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17442482 titled 'Technologies For Uplink Gap Triggering And Operation

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application is about devices and components for triggering and using uplink gaps in cellular networks. - The invention involves a method where a user equipment (UE) transmits an indication to a base station about its capability or preference for using an uplink gap for body proximity sensing or transceiver calibration. - The method further includes activating a specific uplink gap configuration based on a command received from the network. - Once the uplink gap is activated, the UE can perform operations related to body proximity sensing or transceiver calibration within the defined uplink gap. - The invention aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of body proximity sensing and transceiver calibration in cellular networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for triggering and using uplink gaps in cellular networks. A method of an embodiment comprises: transmitting, to a base station, an indication of an uplink (UL) gap capability or preference of the UE for body proximity sensing (BPS) or transceiver calibration; activating a UL gap configuration based on an activation command received from a network; and performing operations for BPS or transceiver calibration within a UL gap defined by the UL gap configuration.
