PARTIAL BEAM FAILURE REPORT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17449938 titled 'PARTIAL BEAM FAILURE REPORT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a procedure for a user equipment (UE) to handle beam failures in a wireless communication system. The UE can perform a beam failure procedure for each beam and send a partial beam failure (BF) report to the base station. The base station then configures the partial BF report and the UE generates and transmits the report for beam management.
- The UE can perform a beam failure procedure per beam and send a partial BF report to the base station.
- The base station configures the partial BF report and the UE generates and transmits the report for beam management.
- The parameters of the partial BF report can be configured differently for each beam.
- The partial BF report may include information such as current beam failure indication (BFI) count or channel measurement for each beam.
- The partial BF report can be transmitted periodically or aperiodically.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Beam management in 5G or future generations of wireless networks
Problems Solved
- Efficient handling of beam failures in wireless communication systems
- Improved beam management for better network performance and user experience
Benefits
- Enhanced reliability and performance in wireless communication systems
- Optimal beam management for improved network efficiency
- Better user experience with reduced disruptions during beam failures
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) may perform a beam failure procedure per beam of multiple beams and transmit, to a base station, a partial beam failure (BF) report. The base station may transmit, to the UE, a configuration of the partial BF report, and the UE may generate and transmit the partial BF report for the base station to perform the beam management. The parameters of the aperiodic partial BF report may be configured with the same or different parameters for each beam. The partial BF report may include at least one of a current beam failure indication (BFI) count or a channel measurement for each beam. The partial BF report may be transmitted periodically or aperiodically.
