METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEAM INDICATION IN A MULTI-BEAM SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324058 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEAM INDICATION IN A MULTI-BEAM SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for beam management, which involves the use of a transceiver and a processor to optimize the transmission of data and control channels. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The apparatus includes a transceiver that receives configuration information for transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states and corresponding channels.
- The transceiver also receives TCI state identifiers (IDs) on a channel, which convey TCI state IDs from the corresponding channels.
- In response to receiving the TCI state IDs, the transceiver transmits an acknowledgement message.
- The apparatus further includes a processor that determines TCI states for data and control channels based on the received TCI state IDs.
- The processor also updates spatial filters for the data and control channels based on the determined TCI states.
- The transceiver then receives the data and control channels based on the updated spatial filters.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems: The apparatus can be used in wireless communication systems to optimize the transmission of data and control channels, improving overall system performance.
- Beamforming technology: The use of spatial filters allows for beamforming, which can enhance the signal quality and coverage in wireless communication.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Interference reduction: By updating spatial filters based on the determined TCI states, the apparatus can mitigate interference and improve the quality of the received signals.
- Efficient resource allocation: The optimization of data and control channels ensures efficient use of available resources, leading to improved system capacity and performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced signal quality: The use of spatial filters and optimized transmission based on TCI states improves the signal quality, resulting in better communication experiences for users.
- Improved system capacity: By efficiently allocating resources and mitigating interference, the technology increases the system capacity, allowing for more simultaneous connections and higher data rates.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for beam management includes a transceiver configured to receive configuration information for one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states and corresponding channels, receive one or more TCI state identifiers (IDs) on a channel for conveying TCI state IDs from among the corresponding channels, and transmit an acknowledgement message in response to the reception of the one or more TCI state IDs. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to determine, based on the one or more TCI state IDs, TCI states for data and control channels, respectively, from among the corresponding channels, and update spatial filters for the data and control channels based on the determined TCI states for the data channels and the control channels, respectively. The transceiver is further configured to receive the data channels and the control channels based on the updated spatial filters for the data and the control channels, respectively.
