RECIPROCITY-BASED BEAMFORMING FOR ARCHITECTURE-AWARE USER EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17905727 Titled 'RECIPROCITY-BASED BEAMFORMING FOR ARCHITECTURE-AWARE USER EQUIPMENT'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a user equipment (UE) can transmit a message to a base station indicating its support for a specific demodulation mode. The first demodulation mode corresponds to a single demodulation procedure associated with a set of antenna ports at the UE, while the second demodulation mode corresponds to multiple demodulation procedures, each associated with a subset of antenna ports. The UE can switch between these demodulation modes flexibly. The UE then receives one or more downlink signals from the base station via one or more downlink beams based on the indicated demodulation mode. Finally, the UE demodulates these downlink signals according to the active demodulation mode.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, a UE capability message indicating support for at least a first demodulation mode or a second demodulation mode. The first demodulation mode may correspond to a single demodulation procedure associated with a set of antenna ports at the UE, and the second demodulation mode may correspond to multiple demodulation procedures, each procedure associated with a respective subset of antenna ports at the UE. In some cases, the UE may flexibly switch between demodulation modes. The UE may receive, from the base station, one or more downlink signals via one or more downlink beams based on the indication of the first demodulation mode or the second demodulation mode. The UE may demodulate the one or more downlink signals based on the indicated (e.g., an active) demodulation mode.
