METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROUP-BASED MULTI-BEAM OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18333450 Titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROUP-BASED MULTI-BEAM OPERATION'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for operating a user equipment (UE), which is a device used by a user to access a network. The method involves receiving configuration information about a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The TCI states indicate different groups of beams that can be used for communication. A beam indication is then received, which specifies at least one TCI state from the set. This TCI state indicates a group of beams that are divided into sets for different entities. Each set is associated with a specific entity and contains a certain number of beams. The beam indication is decoded, and a beam is determined for a specific entity based on the set of beams associated with that entity. Finally, the UE either transmits an uplink (UL) transmission or receives a downlink (DL) transmission using the determined beam for the specific entity. The method can be applied to multiple entities, with each entity having its own set of beams.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for operating a user equipment (UE) comprises receiving configuration information on a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states; receiving a beam indication indicating at least one TCI state from the set of TCI states, wherein the at least one TCI state indicates a group of M beams partitioned into K sets of beams for K entities (E, E, . . . E), where an i-th set of beams is associated with entity Eand comprises Nbeams, and ΣN=M; decoding the beam indication; determining a beam for entity Ebased on the i-th set of beams; and transmitting an uplink (UL) transmission or receiving a downlink (DL) transmission based on the determined beam for entity E, wherein i is an entity index and takes a value from {1, . . . , K}.
