SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR DYNAMIC ADAPTION OF DIFFERENT ATTENNA CONFIGURATION COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106610 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR DYNAMIC ADAPTION OF DIFFERENT ATTENNA CONFIGURATION COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The techniques in this patent application provide solutions for a user equipment (UE) and base station to switch between T1R4 and 2T4R for sounding reference signals (SRS). The UE and base station may communicate SRS using 2T4R. The UE and/or base station may detect and evaluate a signal quality trigger and/or condition relating to switching from T2R4 to T1R4. The trigger and/or condition may correspond to a channel or radio frequency (RF) quality, conflicting or problematic band combinations used in a non-standalone (NSA) scenario, whether dedicated data subscription (DDS) subscriber identity module (SIM) or non-DDS SIM is being used in a dual SIM dual active (DSDA) scenario, etc. The UE and base station may either continue using T2R4 communications or switch to T1R4 communications based on the trigger and/or evaluation.
- Switching between T1R4 and 2T4R for sounding reference signals (SRS)
- Detection and evaluation of signal quality triggers and conditions for switching
- Communication of SRS using 2T4R
- Consideration of channel or RF quality, band combinations, and SIM types for switching decisions
