Questions about Physical Resource Block Allocation Alignment: 1. How does this technology improve signal processing efficiency in wireless networks? This technology improves signal processing efficiency by aligning physical resource block allocation with logical structures, ensuring optimal resource utilization.

2. What are the potential implications of misalignment between PRB allocation and logical structures in a network? Misalignment between PRB allocation and logical structures can lead to inefficiencies in resource usage, degraded network performance, and potential data transmission errors.

Original Abstract Submitted

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for physical resource block allocation alignment. An example method, performed at a first network entity, includes transmitting beamforming weights (BFWs) to a second network entity, each beamforming weight to be applied to a different bundle of one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs), transmitting, to the second network entity, one or more parameters indicative of a misalignment between an allocation of PRBs and at least one logical structure, and processing signals transmitted between the first and second network entities, with beamforming applied to PRB bundles using the BFWs, in accordance with the one or more parameters.
