DISTRIBUTED UNIT SCHEDULING FOR CUSTOM SIGNAL TRAFFIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17660331 Titled 'DISTRIBUTED UNIT SCHEDULING FOR CUSTOM SIGNAL TRAFFIC'
Simplified Explanation
This technology allows for the scheduling of custom traffic injection into a radio unit's communication path. This custom traffic can be used to improve the performance of the radio unit by performing tasks such as antenna calibration and test and measurement operations. The distributed unit works together with the radio unit to schedule and synchronize this custom traffic alongside live-air and non-live-air traffic. Additionally, the distributed unit can communicate upcoming traffic knowledge to the radio unit, allowing it to adjust its operating state accordingly.
Original Abstract Submitted
The described technology is generally directed towards scheduling, by a distributed unit, the injection of custom traffic (signals/data) into a radio unit communications path. The custom traffic can be used to improve the performance of the radio unit, such as to perform antenna calibration, to perform test and measurement operations to obtain performance data, which can be used, for example, to modify operating parameters of the radio unit to improve performance of the radio unit. The distributed unit coordinates with the radio unit to schedule and synchronize such custom traffic in unscheduled (physical resource block), such as interleaved with to live-air and non-live-air traffic. Further, the distributed unit, which has scheduling knowledge of upcoming traffic of the radio unit, can communicate such knowledge to the radio unit for the radio unit to change its operating state based on the upcoming traffic knowledge.
