OPTICAL REFERENCE SIGNAL BASED TRP DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17658613 Titled 'OPTICAL REFERENCE SIGNAL BASED TRP DETECTION'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system where a user's device can receive optical signals from a transmit receive point (TRP). These signals contain information such as the TRP's identifier or the direction of the signal in relation to the TRP. The user's device can use this information to perform various tasks like connecting to a cell, managing the signal beam, detecting the user's position, validating the TRP, or detecting the surrounding environment. The device can also use the correlation between the optical signal and a received radio signal for further processing.

Original Abstract Submitted

The user equipment (UE) may obtain at least one optical reference signal associated with a transmit receive point (TRP), the at least one optical reference signal including at least one of: a TRP identifier (ID) or direction information of the at least one optical reference signal with reference to the TRP. The UE may identify information associated with the TRP with reference to the UE based on the at least one optical reference signal, and perform at least one of a cell acquisition, a beam management, a UE position detection, a TRP validation, or an ambient environment detection based on the identified information associated with the TRP. The UE may also receive at least one reference radio signal, and use the correlation between the optical reference signal and the received reference radio signal.
