RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL OCCASIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A RELAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17808718 titled 'RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL OCCASIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A RELAY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a wireless communication system where a relay receives a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a network node and transmits a relay SSB to a user equipment (UE). The relay also receives a preamble from the UE and transmits it to the network node.
- A relay receives a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a network node.
- The relay transmits a relay SSB to a user equipment (UE) based on the network node SSB.
- The relay receives a preamble from the UE during a first random access channel (RACH) occasion associated with the relay SSB.
- The relay transmits the preamble to the network node during a second RACH occasion associated with the network node SSB.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved wireless communication systems.
- Enhanced relay functionality in wireless networks.
- Efficient synchronization and communication between network nodes and user equipment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures proper synchronization between network nodes and user equipment.
- Facilitates reliable communication between relay and user equipment.
- Optimizes the use of random access channels for efficient data transmission.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and efficiency in wireless communication.
- Enhanced coverage and connectivity in wireless networks.
- Streamlined synchronization and data transmission processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a relay may receive, from a network node and via a network node beam, a network node synchronization signal block (SSB). The relay may transmit, to a user equipment (UE) and via a relay beam, a relay SSB that is based at least in part on the network node SSB. The relay may receive, from the UE and via the relay beam, a preamble during a first random access channel (RACH) occasion that is associated with the relay SSB. The relay may transmit, to the network node and via the network node beam, the preamble during a second RACH occasion that is associated with the network node SSB. Numerous other aspects are described.
