METHODS, DEVICES AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIA FOR COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18284213 titled 'METHODS, DEVICES AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIA FOR COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for communication involving beam failure recovery requests in a network environment.

  • The method involves receiving a configuration from a network device at a terminal device.
  • The configuration indicates the association of a group of cells serving the terminal device with a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs) coupled with the network device.
  • Upon detecting a beam failure on a cell in the group of cells, a beam failure recovery request is transmitted to the network device, including TRP information related to the detected beam failure.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various communication systems where beamforming is utilized for efficient data transmission and reception.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of beam failures in communication networks, ensuring reliable and continuous data transmission by quickly recovering from such failures.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer storage media for communication. A method comprises receiving, at a terminal device, a configuration from a network device, wherein the configuration indicates that each of a group of cells serving the terminal device is associated with at least one of a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs) coupled with the network device; and in response to a beam failure being detected on a cell in the group of cells, transmitting a beam failure recovery request to the network device, wherein the beam failure recovery request comprises TRP information related to the beam failure detected on the cell.
