REFERENCE SIGNAL ORTHOGONALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17907642 titled 'REFERENCE SIGNAL ORTHOGONALITY

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to wireless communication and describes a method for a wireless node to simultaneously communicate two reference signals (RS) using different antenna panels. The second RS is orthogonalized relative to the first RS.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

• A wireless node can transmit two reference signals (RS) simultaneously.
• The first RS is based on a first RS configuration and is transmitted using a first antenna panel.
• The second RS is based on a second RS configuration and is transmitted using a different antenna panel.
• The second RS configuration ensures that the second RS is orthogonal to the first RS.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various wireless communication systems, including:

• Cellular networks
• Wi-Fi networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Wireless sensor networks

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following problems in wireless communication:

• Efficient utilization of available spectrum by transmitting multiple RS simultaneously.
• Orthogonalization of RS to minimize interference and improve signal quality.
• Enhancing the capacity and reliability of wireless communication systems.

Benefits

The use of multiple antenna panels and orthogonalized RS offers several benefits:

• Increased capacity and throughput in wireless networks.
• Improved signal quality and reduced interference.
• Enhanced reliability and coverage of wireless communication.
• Efficient utilization of available spectrum resources.

Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may communicate, using a first antenna panel, a first reference signal (RS) based at least in part on a first RS configuration, and communicate, simultaneously with the first RS and using a second antenna panel that is different than the first antenna panel, a second RS based at least in part on a second RS configuration, wherein the second RS configuration orthogonalizes the second RS relative to the first RS. Numerous other aspects are provided.
