SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17758295 titled 'SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL CONFIGURATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on enabling a user equipment (UE) to receive a configuration message indicating reference signals from different nodes and determining a transmission beam for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) based on these reference signals.

  • The UE receives a message that specifies first reference signals from one node and second reference signals from another node.
  • Based on a procedure for determining SRS transmission beams and the received reference signals, the UE determines an SRS transmission beam for transmitting an SRS signal.
  • The UE then transmits the SRS signal using the determined SRS transmission beam.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve the efficiency and reliability of SRS transmission.
  • It can be used in 5G and future generations of wireless networks to enhance the performance of user equipment.

Problems Solved

  • Traditional methods for determining SRS transmission beams may not consider reference signals from multiple nodes, leading to suboptimal beam selection.
  • Inefficient SRS transmission can result in reduced network capacity and degraded user experience.
  • This technology solves the problem of suboptimal beam selection by considering reference signals from multiple nodes, improving the overall performance of wireless communication systems.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency: By considering reference signals from multiple nodes, the UE can determine the optimal SRS transmission beam, leading to more efficient and reliable communication.
  • Enhanced network capacity: The optimized SRS transmission helps maximize the capacity of the wireless network, allowing more devices to be served simultaneously.
  • Better user experience: With improved SRS transmission, users can experience faster and more stable wireless connections, resulting in a better overall experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The methods, systems, and devices may enable a user equipment (UE) to receive a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration message that indicates one or more first reference signals from a first node or one or more SRS transmission beams associated with the first node and one or more second reference signals from a second node. The UE may determine an SRS transmission beam for transmitting an SRS signal based on a procedure for determining SRS transmission beams and the one or more reference signals from the first and second nodes. The UE may transmit the SRS signal using the SRS transmission beam.
