RACH TIMELINE INCORPORATING BANDWIDTH PART SWITCH TO RECEIVE A SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17934481 titled 'RACH TIMELINE INCORPORATING BANDWIDTH PART SWITCH TO RECEIVE A SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to wireless communications and specifically focuses on techniques for performing a random access channel (RACH) procedure. The method described in the patent application involves the following steps:
- Detecting a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted in a specific bandwidth part (BWP).
- Transmitting a number of first messages as part of a random access channel (RACH) procedure in a different BWP associated with the detected SSB.
- Monitoring the second BWP for a second message sent in response to the first messages.
- Switching back to the first BWP to monitor for SSBs if the second message is not received within a specific timeline after transmitting the first messages and certain conditions are met.
Potential applications of this technology include:
- Improving the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems.
- Enhancing the performance of random access channel (RACH) procedures in wireless networks.
- Enabling faster and more accurate detection of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs).
Problems solved by this technology include:
- Addressing issues related to the synchronization and timing of wireless communication systems.
- Improving the success rate of random access channel (RACH) procedures.
- Reducing the time and resources required for detecting and responding to synchronization signal blocks (SSBs).
Benefits of this technology include:
- Increased reliability and accuracy in wireless communication systems.
- Improved efficiency and speed in random access channel (RACH) procedures.
- Enhanced overall performance and user experience in wireless networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for performing a random access channel (RACH) procedure. According to one aspect, a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), generally includes detecting at least a first synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted in a first bandwidth part (BWP), transmitting, in a second BWP associated with the first SSB, a number of first messages as part of a random access channel (RACH) procedure, monitoring, in the second BWP, for a second message sent in response to the number of first messages, and switching back to the first BWP to monitor for SSBs, if the second message is not received within a first timeline after transmitting the number of first messages and one or more conditions are met.
