ENHANCED PHR REPORTING IN SUPPORT OF UE ANTENNA SCALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236872 titled 'ENHANCED PHR REPORTING IN SUPPORT OF UE ANTENNA SCALING

The present disclosure pertains to devices, apparatuses, and methods for enhanced PHR reporting in support of UE antenna scaling. A wireless device with at least one antenna array, each comprising multiple antenna elements, can adjust antenna scaling by activating or deactivating antenna elements of one or more arrays. The device generates a PHR report based on the difference in beamforming gains before and after antenna scaling, then sends it to a base station.

• Wireless device with antenna arrays can adjust antenna scaling by activating or deactivating antenna elements.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to devices, apparatuses, and methods for enhanced phr reporting in support of ue antenna scaling. a wireless device, which comprises at least one antenna array each comprising a plurality of antenna elements may perform antenna scaling by activating or deactivating at least one of the plurality of antenna elements (with corresponding rf chains) of one or more antenna arrays. the wireless device may generate a power headroom (phr) report based at least on a difference between beamforming gains obtained after the antenna scaling and before the antenna scaling. the wireless device may then send the phr report to a base station in communication with the wireless device.
