BEAMFORMED TRANSMISSION TOWARDS GROUPS OF TERMINAL DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240243790 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 new terminal devices entering a group with an active BWP based on frequency overlap avoidance with existing active BWPs in the group, and serving all terminal devices through beamformed transmission according to their active BWPs.

• Method for beamformed transmission towards groups of terminal devices
• Each terminal device has a BWP set with one active BWP
• New devices entering a group are configured with an active BWP to avoid frequency overlap
• Beamformed transmission is performed towards all terminal devices based on their active BWPs

Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - 5G networks - IoT devices

Problems Solved: - Efficient utilization of bandwidth - Minimization of interference - Optimal data transmission to multiple devices

Benefits: - Improved network performance - Enhanced data transfer speeds - Better connectivity for multiple devices

Commercial Applications: - Telecommunications companies - Network equipment manufacturers - IoT device manufacturers

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method ensure frequency overlap avoidance among active BWPs? 2. What are the key advantages of using beamformed transmission in this context?

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on optimizing beamforming techniques for multi-device communication.

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.
