CONNECTION SETUP IN OAM-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18257564 titled 'CONNECTION SETUP IN OAM-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for connection setup in an orbital angular momentum (OAM)-based communication system. Here are some key points from the abstract:

  • First and second devices establish an OAM communications connection between them.
  • Messages are exchanged over downlink and uplink communications links according to an OAM mode.
  • Directional alignment (co-axial alignment) is achieved based on OAM related parameters or information in the messages.
  • One or more orbital angular momentum modes for communication are determined based on the directional alignment.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Satellite communication systems
  • Point-to-point wireless communication links
  • Optical communication systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient setup of communication links using OAM
  • Improved directional alignment between devices
  • Enhanced communication performance in terms of data rate and reliability

Benefits

  • Higher data transfer rates

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for connection setup in an orbital angular momentum (OAM)-based communication system are described. A first device and a second device may establish an OAM communications connection between the devices. The first device and the second device may exchange a series of messages over a downlink communications link and an uplink communications link according to an OAM mode. Based on OAM related parameters or OAM related information included in the messages, the first device and the second device may achieve a successful directional alignment (co-axial alignment) between the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device may determine one or more orbital angular momentum modes for communication between the first device and the second device based on the establishing the directional alignment.
