SIGNALING FOR CHANNEL ACCESS USING MULTI-BEAM SENSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18312299 titled 'SIGNALING FOR CHANNEL ACCESS USING MULTI-BEAM SENSING
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. - It introduces the concept of multi-beam sensing for channel access in wireless communications systems. - A user equipment (UE) can transmit a capability message indicating its ability to support per-beam channel access procedures. - The UE can receive a control message from a network entity, indicating a channel occupancy configuration associated with the per-beam channel access procedures. - The UE can then perform a per-beam channel access procedure for each beam in a set of beams. - Based on the channel occupancy configuration and the success of the per-beam channel access procedures, the UE can communicate via one or more beams from the set of beams.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support signaling for channel access using multi-beam sensing. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability message indicating a capability of the UE to support per-beam channel access procedures for communicating in one or more shared radio frequency spectrum. In some cases, the UE may receive, from a network entity, a control message indicating a channel occupancy configuration that is associated with the per-beam channel access procedures. Additionally, the UE may perform a per-beam channel access procedure for each beam of a set of beams and may communicate via one or more beams from the set of beams based on the channel occupancy configuration and the per-beam channel access procedures being successful for at least a subset of beams of the set of beams.
