BEAM MANAGEMENT AND FREQUENCY RANGE LIMITATION ACCORDING TO ANTENNA MODULE CAPABILITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18145549 titled 'BEAM MANAGEMENT AND FREQUENCY RANGE LIMITATION ACCORDING TO ANTENNA MODULE CAPABILITIES

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, focusing on beam management procedures and antenna module configurations.

  • User equipment (UE) can transmit a capability message indicating an antenna module configuration, which specifies the antenna module format of the UE.
  • The UE performs a beam management procedure based on a beam management mode associated with a frequency range and corresponding to the antenna module format.
  • The UE receives an indication of a set of parameters for communications in the frequency range, based on the beam management procedure.
  • Communication using the frequency range and one or more antenna modules is conducted by the UE according to the set of parameters.
  • The UE may also receive an indication of a resource allocation for a beam weighting procedure, corresponding to the antenna module format, and perform the beam weighting procedure using the resource allocation.

Potential Applications: - 5G and future wireless communication technologies - IoT devices requiring efficient wireless communication - Smart city infrastructure for connectivity and data transfer

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability message that indicates an antenna module configuration, the antenna module configuration indicating an antenna module format of the UE. The UE may perform a beam management procedure according to a beam management mode associated with a frequency range and corresponding to the antenna module format and may receive, based on the beam management procedure, an indication of a set of parameters for communications using the frequency range. The UE may communicate, based on the set of parameters, one or more messages using the frequency range and one or more antenna modules. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may receive an indication of a resource allocation for a beam weighting procedure, the resource allocation corresponding to the antenna module format of the UE and may perform the beam weighting procedure using the resource allocation.
