CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION (CSI) FOR NEW RADIO (NR) SIDE-LINKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18125794 Titled 'CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION (CSI) FOR NEW RADIO (NR) SIDE-LINKS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a user equipment (UE) that can communicate wirelessly with a base station and another UE. The UE has a transceiver and a processor. The processor can select a group of subcarriers from two physical resource blocks (PRBs), which can be either one subcarrier or more than two subcarriers. The processor then uses the selected subcarriers to transmit channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) to the second UE using the first set of antenna ports of the transceiver. The CSI-RSs are transmitted in a set of resource elements (REs) that occupy the selected subcarriers.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects are described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a base station and a second UE, and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine a set of subcarriers from two physical resource blocks (PRBs). The set of subcarriers includes only one subcarrier or more than two subcarriers. The processor is further configured to transmit, using the first set of antenna ports of the transceiver, channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) in a set of resource elements (REs) to the second UE. The set of REs occupies the set of subcarriers.
