==Beam Information Reporting for PUCCH Secondary Cell Activation - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17755682 titled 'Beam Information Reporting for PUCCH Secondary Cell Activation

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment (UE) that reports beam information for a secondary cell, specifically related to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) secondary cell (SCell) activation procedure.

* The UE receives a signal from the network indicating the initiation of a PUCCH SCell activation procedure.
* The UE collects beam information for a target PUCCH SCell and reports it to the network.
* The UE confirms the activation of the target PUCCH SCell and transmits uplink control information (UCI) over a PUCCH to the PUCCH SCell.
* The UE is also configured with a different PUCCH corresponding to a primary cell (PCell).

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in wireless communication systems to enhance the efficiency and reliability of uplink control information transmission in multi-cell scenarios.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Improved management and activation of secondary cells for uplink control information transmission.
2. Enhanced coordination between primary and secondary cells for optimized network performance.

== Benefits ==
1. Increased capacity and throughput in multi-cell environments.
2. Better quality of service for users with improved uplink control information transmission.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimized network performance in 5G and beyond networks.
Enhanced user experience in dense urban environments with multiple cells.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include patents related to beamforming techniques in wireless communication systems and methods for managing secondary cells in cellular networks.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does this technology impact battery life in user equipment? ===
The abstract does not provide information on the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of user equipment.

=== What are the specific technical requirements for implementing this innovation in existing network infrastructure? ===
Details on the compatibility and integration of this technology with current network infrastructure are not addressed in the abstract.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A user equipment (UE) is configured to report beam information for a secondary cell. The UE receives a signal from a network indicating that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) secondary cell (SCell) activation procedure has been initiated, collects beam information corresponding to a target PUCCH SCell, reports the beam information to the network, determines that the target PUCCH SCell has been activated as a PUCCH SCell and transmits uplink control information (UCI) over a PUCCH to the PUCCH SCell, wherein the UE is also configured with a different PUCCH corresponding to a primary cell (PCell).
