COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18339022 Titled 'COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a network node that can receive and transmit radio frequency signals. It includes an antenna array, radio frequency components, configurable loads, a switch, and a control circuit. The control circuit receives instructions to configure the antenna array for scattering mode. It then configures the configurable loads to scatter a radio frequency signal from a transmitting node to a user device in a different cell. The control circuit also controls the switch to change the coupling of antennas and sets the radio frequency components to an idle mode for power efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
A receiving network node includes a first antenna array, one or more radio frequency components, one or more configurable loads, a switch, and a first control circuit. The first control circuit obtains instruction data for configuring the first antenna array from a transmit-receive mode to a scattering mode. The first control circuit configures the one or more configurable loads based on the instruction data to scatter a first beam of a radio frequency signal sent by a transmitting network node located in a first cell to a first user device located in a second cell. The first beam is scattered by the configured first antenna array. The first control circuit controls the switch to change a coupling of one or more antennas from the radio frequency components to the configured one or more configurable loads, and sets the radio frequency components to an idle mode for power-efficient cooperative communication.
