UPLINK BEAM TRAINING ON NEIGHBOR CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17820899 titled 'UPLINK BEAM TRAINING ON NEIGHBOR CELL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for a user equipment (UE) to train a transmit beam for a non-serving cell in a wireless communication network. This is achieved by using uplink reference signals (RS) and coordinating information to update a transmission configuration indication (TCI) at the UE.

• The system uses uplink reference signals (RS) for transmit (Tx) beam training.
• The target non-serving cell measures the UL RS and determines the best Tx beam.
• The system coordinates information about the best Tx beam to update the TCI at the UE for the target non-serving cell.

Potential Applications

• Wireless communication networks
• Cellular networks
• Beamforming technology

Problems Solved

• Efficient training of transmit beams for non-serving cells
• Enhancing the performance of wireless communication systems
• Improving the quality and reliability of communication in cellular networks

Benefits

• Improved signal quality and reliability in non-serving cells
• Enhanced overall performance of wireless communication networks
• Efficient utilization of network resources
• Better user experience with reduced interference and improved coverage

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are provided for a user equipment to train a transmit beam of a transmission configuration indication (TCI) for a non-serving cell. A system may use uplink (UL) reference signal (RS) based transmit (Tx) beam training with a target non-serving cell. The Target non-serving cell may measure the UL RS and determine a best Tx beam. The system may coordinate information regarding the best Tx beam to update a TCI at the UE for the target non-serving cell.
