DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FRONTHAUL TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18334689 Titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FRONTHAUL TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a new communication system called pre-5G or 5G that is designed to support higher data rates than the current 4G system, such as LTE. The system includes a device called a radio unit (RU) that is part of a base station in a wireless communication system. The RU device has at least one transceiver and at least one processor. The processor is configured to receive a control message from a digital unit (DU) through a fronthaul interface. The control message includes a section extension field, which the processor uses to identify additional information. Based on this additional information, the processor acquires a beamforming weight. The control message is used to schedule a terminal in the control plane of the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A pre-5-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) is provided. The device of a radio unit (RU) of a base station in a wireless communication system includes at least one transceiver and at least one processor coupled to the at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive a first control message including a section extension field from a digital unit (DU) via a fronthaul interface, identify additional information based on the section extension field, and acquire a beamforming weight based on the additional information, wherein the first control message is configured to schedule a terminal in a control plane.
