SECURITY FOR DOWNLINK SIGNALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205704 titled 'SECURITY FOR DOWNLINK SIGNALING

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications where a user equipment (UE) monitors a set of resources for synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) associated with pseudo-random sequences. The UE communicates with a network entity via a cell associated with a cell identifier based on the monitoring.

User equipment (UE) monitors resources for SSBs associated with pseudo-random sequences.
Pseudo-random function (PRF) output indicates the sequences and resources based on timing, cell identifier, and key.
UE may monitor resources within a control resource set for a downlink control channel based on PRF output.
UE communicates with a network entity via a cell associated with the cell identifier.

Potential Applications: - Mobile telecommunications - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Wireless networking technologies

Problems Solved: - Efficient monitoring of resources for synchronization signals - Seamless communication with network entities

Benefits: - Improved wireless communication reliability - Enhanced network connectivity - Optimal resource allocation

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Wireless Communication Systems for Improved Connectivity" This technology can be utilized in: - Mobile network infrastructure - IoT device communication - Wireless service providers

Questions about Wireless Communications: 1. How does the use of pseudo-random sequences improve wireless communication efficiency?

  - Pseudo-random sequences help in efficient resource monitoring and signal detection, enhancing overall communication reliability.

2. What are the key parameters that influence the selection of resources for monitoring in wireless communication systems?

  - Timing, cell identifier, and key parameters play a crucial role in determining the resources to be monitored for signal blocks.

Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. a user equipment (ue) may monitor a set of resources for one or more synchronization signal blocks (ssbs) associated with one or more pseudo-random sequences. the one or more pseudo-random sequences and the set of resources may be indicated by an output of a pseudo-random function (prf) that is based on a timing parameter, a cell identifier, and a key. in some examples, the ue may monitor a set of resources within a control resource set for a downlink control channel, where the set of resources for the downlink control channel is based on an output of the prf. the ue communicate with a network entity via a cell associated with the cell identifier based on the monitoring.
