METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CHANNEL ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18022698 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CHANNEL ESTIMATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for channel estimation in a network node. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The network node receives a channel quality indication (CQI) value from a terminal device.
  • The CQI value is reported by the terminal device for a specific anchor physical resource block (PRB).
  • Based on the CQI value, the network node determines the first signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the downlink channel for the anchor PRB.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Cellular networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • 5G and beyond networks

Problems Solved:

  • Accurate channel estimation is crucial for optimizing the performance of wireless communication systems.
  • Traditional methods of channel estimation may be inefficient or inaccurate.
  • This technology provides a more reliable and efficient way to estimate the channel quality.

Benefits:

  • Improved signal quality and reliability in wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced network performance and capacity.
  • Better resource allocation and management.
  • Increased data rates and throughput.
  • Improved user experience and satisfaction.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for channel estimation. According to an embodiment, a network node obtains, from a terminal device, a channel quality indication (CQI) value reported by the terminal device for an anchor physical resource block (PRB). The network node determines, for the anchor PRB, a first signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of a downlink channel, based at least on the CQI value.
