SPATIAL FILTER CORRESPONDENCE AND RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURES FOR RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18025816 titled 'SPATIAL FILTER CORRESPONDENCE AND RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURES FOR RECONFIGURABLE INTELLIGENT SURFACES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for wireless communication using a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS).
- The user equipment (UE) receives a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station via the RIS.
- The SSB is of a specific type that is configured for RIS-assisted procedures.
- The base station and the UE perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure based on the received SSB.
- The UE transmits an indication to the base station that the received SSB corresponds to the specific type of SSB used in RACH procedure.
Original Abstract Submitted
Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication to be performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising receiving, from a base station, a synchronization signal block (SSB) via a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), the SSB corresponding to a first SSB type configured for RIS-assisted procedures. The implementations further include performing, with the base station according to the SSB, a random access channel (RACH) procedure. Additionally, the implementations further include transmitting, to the base station according to the SSB, an indication that the SSB corresponds to the first SSB type as part of the RACH procedure.
