POLARIZATION DEPENDENT OPERATION OF A RE-CONFIGURABLE RELAYING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18024564 titled 'POLARIZATION DEPENDENT OPERATION OF A RE-CONFIGURABLE RELAYING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method for operating a communication node (CN) that controls a re-configurable relaying device (RRD). - The RRD is capable of providing multiple spatial polarization filterings, which are associated with different input and output spatial directions for radio signals. - The method involves sending a message from a second CN to the first CN, indicating that the RRD can transmit an incident signal from the second CN using a specific output spatial direction, based on a property of the incident signal. - The patent application also includes methods for operating the second CN and the RRD, as well as corresponding CNs and RRDs.
Original Abstract Submitted
Examples relate to a method of operating a first communication node (CN). The first CN is configured for controlling a re-configurable relaying device (RRD), in particular a re-configurable reflective device, the RRD being reconfigurable to provide multiple contemporaneous spatial polarization filterings, each one of the multiple spatial polarization filterings being associated with a respective input spatial direction from which incident signals on a radio channel are accepted and with a respective output spatial direction into which the incident signals are transmitted, in particular reflected, by the RRD. The method comprising providing, to a second CN, a message indicative of the RRD being configurable to transmit an incident signal from a second CN using an output spatial direction to the first CN depending on a property of the incident signal. Further examples, relate to methods of operating the second CN and the RRD. Still further examples, relate to corresponding first CNs, second CNs and RRDs.
