PARTIAL FREQUENCY SOUNDING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18005092 Titled 'PARTIAL FREQUENCY SOUNDING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for a user equipment (UE) to transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) on a subset of available frequency resources. The UE can either be configured to use a specific subset of resources or autonomously identify this subset. The base station can send a bit map to the UE to indicate which resources to use for each hop of the SRS hopping sequence. Each bit in the bit map represents a specific resource block (RB) or a group of RBs where the UE should transmit the SRS. The same subset of resources can be designated for each hop, or different subsets can be designated for different hops. The subset of resources can be cycled for different hops.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects relate to sounding on a subset of available sounding resources. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) on a subset of the frequency resources available for a hop of an SRS hopping sequence. A UE may be configured to use a subset of frequency resources or the UE may autonomously identify this subset. A base station may send a bit map to a UE to indicate the subset of resources to use for a hop. Each bit of the bit map may indicate that the UE is to transmit an SRS on a particular RB or on a particular groups of RBs. The same subset of resources may be designated for each hop or different subsets of resources may be designated for different hops. An indication of the subset of resources may be provided for each hop. The subset of resources may be cycled for different hops.
