Transmission of Reference Signal Resources - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18280284 titled 'Transmission of Reference Signal Resources

Simplified Explanation

The present invention describes a network device with an antenna arrangement capable of generating beams in different directions for transmission of reference signal resources.

• The network device includes at least two panels that generate beams in different directions.
• A control circuitry is used to transmit reference signal resources in beams from each panel during a beam selection procedure with another network device.
• The beams from each panel are distinct from each other.
• The transmission of reference signal resources from each panel is time-wise overlapping.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention relates to a first network device () for transmission of reference signal resources comprising an antenna arrangement () having at least two panel () configured to generate beams () in different directions. The first network device () comprises a control circuitry () configured to transmit, as part of performing a beam selection procedure with a second network device (), a first reference signal resource in one or more beams from a first of the at least two panel, and a second reference signal resource in one or more beams from a second of the at least two panel. The one or more beams from the first of the two panels is different from the one or more beams from the second of the two panels, and the first reference signal resource is time-wise overlapping with the second reference signal resource when transmitted.
