SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK TRANSMISSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18553087 titled 'SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK TRANSMISSION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for ensuring robustness in the transmission of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) in a network. If SSB transmissions fail in first positions, they are retransmitted in second SSB positions.
- Network node attempts to transmit SSBs in first positions
- Listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure is performed before transmission
- If transmission fails, SSBs are retransmitted in second SSB positions associated with the first positions
- UE performs operations to determine SSB transmission positions and timing
Key Features and Innovation
- Facilitating robustness for synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission
- Listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to ensure successful SSB transmission
- Reserved second SSB positions for retransmission of failed SSBs
- UE operations to determine SSB transmission positions and timing

Questions about Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) Transmission
How does the listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure improve synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission reliability?
The listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure allows the network node to assess the channel before transmitting SSBs, reducing the chances of interference and increasing the likelihood of successful transmission.
What are the benefits of using reserved second SSB positions for retransmission of failed SSBs?
Reserved second SSB positions ensure that failed SSB transmissions in first positions can be retransmitted without causing additional interference or disruptions in the network.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for facilitating robustness for synchronization signal block (SSB) are provided. A network node may attempt to transmit SSBs in first positions. For example, the network node may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure prior to transmitting the SSBs, and transmissions of the SSBs may fail or succeed based on failure or success of the LBT procedure. If the transmissions fail, the network node may attempt to transmit the failed SSBs in second SSB positions. For example, the second SSB positions may be associated with the first positions, and may be reserved for retransmission of SSBs that fail in the corresponding first positions. If the network node transmits the SSBs, the UE may perform various operations described herein including, e.g., determining whether the SSBs were transmitted in the first positions or the second positions and/or an SSB index or timing.
