PANEL SELECTION FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17440593 titled 'PANEL SELECTION FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for identifying a panel on user equipment for sounding reference signal (SRS) and/or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications, applicable to both codebook and non-codebook based transmission schemes.

• Base station provides UE with indication of SRS resources and/or sets of SRS resources.
• UE identifies a panel corresponding to the indicated SRS resources for PUSCH communications.
• Prioritization scheduling is applied when UE uses different panels for SRS and PUSCH communications to address switching delays.

• • Potential Applications:**

- Wireless communication systems - 5G networks - IoT devices

• • Problems Solved:**

- Efficient resource allocation for SRS and PUSCH communications - Minimizing switching delays when UE switches between panels

• • Benefits:**

- Improved communication reliability - Enhanced spectral efficiency - Better utilization of network resources

Original Abstract Submitted

Some aspects include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for identifying a panel on user equipment (UE) for sounding reference signal (SRS) and/or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications. This panel selection may be applicable to codebook as well as non-codebook based PUSCH transmission schemes. In some aspects, a base station may provide the UE with an indication of one or more SRS resources and/or sets of SRS resources. The UE may then identify a panel corresponding to the indicated SRS resources and use this panel for PUSCH communications. In some aspects, the UE may apply prioritization scheduling when the UE uses different panels for SRS and PUSCH communications. This prioritization scheduling may address switching delays, which may occur when the UE switches between panels.
