METHODS, CONFIGURATION, AND SIGNALING FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18114098 titled 'METHODS, CONFIGURATION, AND SIGNALING FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION SWITCHING

Simplified Explanation

This patent application discusses a method for uplink transmission switching in a wireless network. Here are the key points:

  • The invention involves a base station in a wireless network.
  • The base station receives first uplink transmissions (UL Txs).
  • It then transmits a dynamic trigger signal to initiate UL Tx switching.
  • The number of UL Tx switching bands (M) is greater than the maximum number of UL Tx chains (N).
  • The base station receives second UL Txs based on the dynamic trigger signal.
  • The first and second UL Txs can correspond to a pair of bands within the configured UL Tx switching bands.
  • Alternatively, the first UL Txs can correspond to a pair of bands, while the second UL Txs correspond to a different band within the configured UL Tx switching bands.


Original Abstract Submitted

Some embodiments are disclosed for Uplink (UL) Transmission (Tx) switching in a wireless network. Some embodiments a base station (BS) can receive first UL Txs, transmit, a dynamic trigger signal for UL Tx switching, where a number of configured UL Tx switching bands, M, is greater than a maximum number of UL Tx chains, N, where M and N are integers. The BS can receive second UL Txs according to the dynamic trigger signal. In some examples, the first UL Txs and the second UL Txs correspond to a first pair of bands of the M configured UL Tx switching bands, or the first UL Txs correspond to a first pair of bands of the M configured UL Tx switching bands, and the second UL Txs correspond to one band of the first pair of bands and a different band of the M configured UL Tx switching bands.
