SENSOR-AIDED BEAM MANAGEMENT AT USER EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18341324 titled 'SENSOR-AIDED BEAM MANAGEMENT AT USER EQUIPMENT

The abstract of this patent application describes methods and apparatuses for determining position information corresponding to the movement of a user equipment (UE) from first local coordinates to second local coordinates. Receive angles of the UE are derived from the position information, and a beamforming weight of the UE is determined based on these receive angles to ensure that the beam direction of the second local coordinates matches that of the first local coordinates.

Position information is determined based on the movement of a user equipment (UE) between different local coordinates.
Receive angles of the UE are derived from the position information.
A beamforming weight of the UE is determined based on the receive angles to align the beam direction of the second local coordinates with that of the first local coordinates.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in wireless communication systems to optimize beamforming for improved signal reception. - It can enhance the performance of mobile devices in terms of connectivity and data transmission.

Problems Solved: - Ensures optimal signal reception by aligning beam directions with the movement of the user equipment. - Improves the overall efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems.

Benefits: - Enhanced signal quality and coverage. - Improved data transmission rates. - Better user experience with mobile devices.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Beamforming Technology for Wireless Communication Systems This technology can be applied in the telecommunications industry to improve the performance of wireless networks, leading to better connectivity and data transmission. It can be integrated into mobile devices, base stations, and other communication equipment to enhance signal reception and overall network efficiency.

Questions about Enhanced Beamforming Technology for Wireless Communication Systems: 1. How does this technology impact the performance of mobile devices in terms of connectivity? 2. What are the potential commercial uses of this enhanced beamforming technology in the telecommunications industry?

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses are provided in which position information is determined corresponding to movement of a user equipment (UE) from first local coordinates to second local coordinates. Receive angles of the UE are derived from the position information of the UE. A beamforming weight of the UE is determined based on the derived receive angles of the UE. The beamforming weight is configured such that a beam direction of the second local coordinates matches a beam direction of the first local coordinates.
