COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18483326 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an application and apparatus that improves the convenience and efficiency of measuring a reference signal on a bandwidth part (BWP). Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

A terminal device receives configuration information indicating M reference signals configured on a first BWP.
The first BWP includes N starting resource block (RB) locations, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.
M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.
The N starting RB locations of the first BWP are different.
The terminal device measures at least one of the M reference signals on a BWP corresponding to the N starting RB locations of the first BWP.
In the same time unit, one of the N starting RB locations is used to measure the at least one of the M reference signals.

Potential applications of this technology:

Wireless communication systems
Mobile devices
Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Network infrastructure

Problems solved by this technology:

Inefficient measurement of reference signals on a BWP
Inconvenience in measuring reference signals on a BWP
Inaccurate measurement of reference signals on a BWP

Benefits of this technology:

Improved convenience in measuring reference signals
Increased measurement efficiency
Accurate measurement of reference signals on a BWP

Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a communication method and apparatus, to improve convenience of measuring a reference signal on a bandwidth part (BWP), and improve measurement efficiency. A terminal device receives configuration information, where the configuration information indicates M reference signals configured on a first bandwidth part (BWP), the first BWP includes N starting resource block (RB) locations, N is a positive integer greater than 1, and M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1; and the N starting RB locations of the first BWP are different. The terminal device measures at least one of the M reference signals on a BWP corresponding to the N starting RB locations of the first BWP, where in a same time unit, one of the N starting RB locations is used to measure the at least one of the M reference signals.
