METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE ANTENNA CONFIGURATION IN A USER EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18101792 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE ANTENNA CONFIGURATION IN A USER EQUIPMENT

Simplified Explanation

The disclosure relates to a method and system for adaptive antenna configuration in a user equipment comprising one or more antenna modules, each of the one or more antenna modules comprising a plurality of patch elements. The method comprises: determining whether a signal strength of the UE is above a signal threshold, determining whether a mobility of the UE is below a mobility threshold based on determining that the signal strength is above the signal threshold, determining at least one active antenna module based on determining that the mobility of the UE is below the mobility threshold, and deactivating at least one patch element in the at least one antenna module.

  • Determining signal strength of the user equipment (UE).
  • Assessing mobility of the UE.
  • Selecting active antenna modules based on signal strength and mobility.
  • Deactivating patch elements in selected antenna modules.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Wireless communication systems.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
  • Mobile devices.

Problems Solved

  • Optimizing antenna configuration based on signal strength and mobility.
  • Improving signal reception in user equipment.
  • Enhancing overall network performance.

Benefits

  • Increased signal reliability.
  • Better network coverage.
  • Enhanced user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications
