METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATING SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18155442 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATING SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method for transmitting a synchronization signal (SS) in a communication system. The method includes performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in a pre-defined window. If the LBT operation is successful, an SS block (SSB) is transmitted in the window. The SSB can include only the SS or both the SS and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH).

  • The method improves the efficiency of data transmission and access performance in a communication system.
  • The base station can implement the LBT in a pre-defined window, allowing for more flexibility in transmitting the SSB.
  • By including the PBCH in the SSB, the method enhances the synchronization and broadcast capabilities of the communication system.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and IoT networks.
  • It can be used in both urban and rural areas to improve the overall performance and reliability of the communication system.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of inefficient data transmission and access performance in a communication system.
  • It addresses the issue of limited flexibility in implementing the LBT operation by allowing it to be performed in a pre-defined window.
  • The inclusion of the PBCH in the SSB solves the problem of synchronization and broadcast channel limitations in the communication system.

Benefits

  • The method significantly improves the efficiency of data transmission in a communication system.
  • It enhances the access performance by allowing the base station to transmit the SSB after a successful LBT operation.
  • The inclusion of the PBCH in the SSB improves synchronization and broadcast capabilities, leading to better overall system performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting a synchronization signal (SS), the method comprising: performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in a pre-defined window; if the LBT operation succeeds, transmitting an SS block (SSB) in the window, wherein the SSB comprises the SS, or the SSB comprises the SS and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH). Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure may significantly improve the efficiency of data transmission and the access performance for the communication system by relaxing the time when the base station implements the LBT, that is, allowing the base station to implement the LBT in the pre-defined window and transmit the SSB after the LBT succeeds.
