BEAMFORMED TRANSMISSION TOWARDS GROUPS OF TERMINAL DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18421590 titled 'BEAMFORMED TRANSMISSION TOWARDS GROUPS OF TERMINAL DEVICES
The abstract describes a method for beamformed transmission towards groups of terminal devices, where each device is configured with a bandwidth part (BWP) set, with one active BWP per device. The method involves configuring a new terminal device entering a group with an active BWP based on frequency overlap avoidance with existing active BWPs in the group. Beamformed transmission is then performed towards all terminal devices according to their active BWPs.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for beamformed transmission towards groups of terminal devices. Each terminal device is, according to a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration, configured with a BWP set. One BWP in the BWP set is an active BWP for the terminal device. The method is performed by a network node. The method comprises configuring a new terminal device entering one of the groups with an active BWP based on frequency overlap avoidance with the active BWPs of the terminal devices already part of the group entered. The method comprises serving all terminal devices by performing beamformed transmission towards the terminal devices in accordance with the active BWPs.
