METHOD AND APPARATUS OF BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18584785 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS OF BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM

The abstract describes a method in a communication system that involves beam failure recovery (BFR) in an unlicensed band, specifically focusing on beam failure detection reference signal (BFD-RS) resources.

  • The method includes receiving a configuration for BFR, identifying beam failure instances based on radio link quality, and managing BFI counters.
  • It involves incrementing and decrementing BFI counters based on the number of periods for BFD-RS resources, which may be associated with listen before talk (LBT) failure.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in 5G or 6G communication systems to enhance data transmission rates. - It can improve the reliability and efficiency of communication networks in unlicensed bands.

Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for effective beam failure recovery mechanisms in high-speed communication systems. - Manages beam failure instances and optimizes resource allocation for improved network performance.

Benefits: - Enhances the overall performance and reliability of communication systems. - Optimizes resource utilization and improves data transmission rates in unlicensed bands.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Beam Failure Recovery System for 5G/6G Communication Networks This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to improve the quality and speed of data transmission in their networks. It can also benefit industries that rely on high-speed communication systems, such as IoT, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities.

Questions about Enhanced Beam Failure Recovery System for 5G/6G Communication Networks: 1. How does this technology contribute to the advancement of 5G and 6G communication systems? 2. What are the key challenges in implementing beam failure recovery mechanisms in unlicensed bands?


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system including: receiving a configuration associated with beam failure recovery (BFR) including beam failure detection reference signal (BFD-RS) resources, wherein the BFD-RS resources are configured in an unlicensed band; identifying a first number of beam failure instance indications (BFIs) based on radio link quality associated with the BFD-RS resources; incrementing a BFI counter by the first number; and decrementing the incremented BFI counter in case that information associated with a second number of periods for the BFD-RS resources is received, wherein at least part of the second number of periods is associated with listen before talk (LBT) failure.
