BEAM FAILURE AVOIDANCE BASED ON DETECTED INTERFERENCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18322526 Titled 'BEAM FAILURE AVOIDANCE BASED ON DETECTED INTERFERENCE'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a process where a User Equipment (UE) device receives a BFD-RS (Baseband Frame Data Reference Signal) and uses it to calculate values such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio), or RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power). Based on these calculated values, the UE can report a BFI (Bad Frame Indicator). The UE also has timers and counters to keep track of BFIs. If certain conditions are met, a BFD (Bad Frame Detection) procedure is performed.
Original Abstract Submitted
A UE may receive a BFD-RS and calculate, based on the BFD-RS, one or more of a value of an RSSI or at least one of a value of an SNR or a value of an RSRP, such that the UE may report a BFI based on the calculated values. The UE may initiate at least one of a total BFI timer or a consecutive BFI timer when a first BFI of a plurality of BFIs is stored, and increment at least one of a total BFI counter or a consecutive BFI counter when each of the plurality of BFIs is stored. A BFD procedure may be performed if at least one of the total BFI counter is greater than or equal to a maximum total count or the consecutive BFI counter is greater than or equal to a maximum consecutive count prior to an expiration of respective BFI timers.
