==CONCURRENT BEAM SCANNING AND DATA RECEPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18578887 titled 'CONCURRENT BEAM SCANNING AND DATA RECEPTION

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes methods for optimizing the performance of a communication node with an antenna array by selectively updating portions of the antenna elements based on link metrics and performance targets.

* The methods involve determining a link metric for data transmissions using a first portion of the antenna elements.
* A first value is calculated based on the link metric and a performance target.
* The first portion and a disjoint second portion of the antenna elements are selectively updated based on the first value.
* Data transmissions are sent or received using a beam formed by the updated first portion, while scanning for reference signal transmissions using a beam formed by the updated second portion.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Selective updating of antenna elements based on link metrics and performance targets.
* Concurrent use of different portions of the antenna array for data transmissions and scanning.
* Optimization of communication node performance through antenna array management.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* Wireless communication systems
* Mobile networks
* Satellite communication
* Radar systems

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Optimization of antenna array performance

==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods for a communication node configured with an antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements. Such methods include determining a link metric for a data transmission received or transmitted using a first portion of the antenna elements, and determining a first value for a first function of the link metric and of a performance target for the link metric. Such methods include, based on the first value, selectively updating the first portion and a second portion of the antenna elements by a first number. The second portion is disjoint from the first portion. Such methods include concurrently performing the following when the updated second portion includes at least one antenna element: receiving or transmitting one or more data transmissions using a first beam formed by the updated first portion; and scanning for reference signal transmissions using a second beam formed by the updated second portion.
