USER EQUIPMENTS, BASE STATIONS AND METHODS FOR JOINT BEAM MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031593 titled 'USER EQUIPMENTS, BASE STATIONS AND METHODS FOR JOINT BEAM MANAGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that has circuitry for receiving and transmitting different types of information.
- The UE has higher layer circuitry that can receive first, second, and third information.
- Receiving circuitry is included to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).
- Transmitting circuitry is included to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
- The first information indicates combinations of downlink and uplink transmission configurations.
- The second information indicates whether to include a TCI field in the downlink control information (DCI) carried by the PDCCH.
- The third information indicates a time duration threshold between the PDCCH and the PDSCH.
- Based on the received information, the transmitting circuitry can transmit the PUCCH using different combinations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) is described. Higher layer circuitry is configured to receive first information, second information, and third information. Receiving circuitry is configured to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). Transmitting circuitry is configured to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The first information indicates one or more combinations, each combination including a downlink transmission configuration indication (TCI) and an uplink TCI. The second information indicates whether to configure a presence of a TCI field in downlink control information (DCI) carried by the PDCCH. The third information indicates a time duration threshold between the PDCCH and the PDSCH. The transmitting circuitry transmits the PUCCH based on a first combination, a second combination, or a third combination.
