TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR (TCI) STATE INDICATIONS FOR TILTED ANTENNA ARRAYS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17824525 titled 'TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR (TCI) STATE INDICATIONS FOR TILTED ANTENNA ARRAYS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a device that includes two antenna array modules. - The first antenna array module operates in a first frequency band and is positioned perpendicular to a specific direction and parallel to a surface of the device. - The second antenna array module operates in a second frequency band and is positioned perpendicular to a different direction and at an angle relative to another surface of the device. - The device transmits an indication of a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, which are selected based on the angle between the second antenna array module and the adjacent surface. - The purpose of this innovation is to optimize wireless communication performance in different frequency bands by adjusting the TCI states based on the orientation of the antenna array modules.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device includes at least a first and a second antenna array module. The first antenna array module serves a first frequency band, the first antenna array module having a first antenna array surface that is substantially perpendicular to a first boresight and oriented substantially parallel to a first surface of the device adjacent to the first antenna array module, the second antenna array module serves a second frequency band, the second antenna array module having a second antenna array surface that is substantially perpendicular to a second boresight and oriented at an angle relative to a second surface of the wireless communication device adjacent to the second antenna array module, and the device transmits an indication of a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for use in the first frequency band and the second frequency band, the set of TCI states being selected based on the angle.
