UE SELECTION FOR UE AIDED ANTENNA CALIBRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18022768 Titled 'UE SELECTION FOR UE AIDED ANTENNA CALIBRATION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method for calibrating the antennas of a base station in a cellular communications system. The method involves selecting certain User Equipments (UEs) to assist with the calibration process based on criteria such as the UE's channel state information, uplink channel characteristics, UE capability, and traffic information. The base station then obtains antenna calibration assistance information from these selected UEs, which is used to calibrate the antennas.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and computer products for base station antenna calibration. A method is implemented in a base station for a cellular communications system. The method includes selecting, from a plurality of User Equipments, UEs, assistant UEs to assist the base station with antenna calibration, wherein selecting the assistant UEs is based upon criteria that includes UE channel state information, CSI, from the UEs; one or more uplink channel characteristics of an uplink channel from the UEs to the base station; a UE capability of the UEs, UE traffic information related to the UEs; and any combination thereof. A further step is obtaining antenna calibration assistance information from the assistant UEs, the antenna calibration assistance information being information that is used by the base station for antenna calibration.
