CONFIGURATION INDICATION FOR BEAM RESTRICTION IN INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL (IAB) NODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18580333 titled 'CONFIGURATION INDICATION FOR BEAM RESTRICTION IN INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL (IAB) NODES
The abstract describes a method, system, and apparatus involving an IAB node that determines restricted beams for an IAB-distributed unit of a child IAB node in spatial division multiplexing (SDM) and indicates these beams for configuration, corresponding to deactivation of a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state available in time division multiplexing (TDM).
- Simplified Explanation: The patent application involves an IAB node that identifies restricted beams for a child IAB node in SDM and indicates these beams for configuration, deactivating a TCI state available in TDM.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- IAB node determines restricted beams for child IAB node in SDM - Indication of restricted beams corresponds to deactivation of TCI state in TDM
- Potential Applications:
- Wireless communication systems - Network optimization - Beamforming technologies
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient beam management in SDM - Seamless configuration of child IAB nodes
- Benefits:
- Improved network performance - Enhanced beamforming capabilities - Simplified beam configuration process
- Commercial Applications:
- Telecom infrastructure providers - IoT networks - Satellite communication systems
- Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of beamforming technologies and SDM/TDM protocols to explore related prior art.
- Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in beamforming technologies, SDM/TDM protocols, and network optimization strategies.
Questions about IAB Node Beam Management:
1. How does the IAB node determine restricted beams for child IAB nodes in SDM? - The IAB node uses processing circuitry to identify the restricted beams based on the spatial division multiplexing configuration.
2. What is the significance of deactivating the TCI state in relation to beam configuration? - Deactivating the TCI state indicates the specific beams to be used for configuring the child IAB nodes in SDM.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method, system and apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, an IAB node is provided. The IAB node includes processing circuitry configured to determine at least one restricted beam for an IAB-distributed unit, IAB-DU, of a child IAB node when operating in spatial division multiplexing, SDM, and indicate the at least one restricted beam for configuring the child IAB node where the indication of the at least one restricted beam corresponds to a deactivation of a Transmission Configuration Indicator, TCI state, which would be available when operating in time division multiplexing, TDM.
