ENHANCED PHR REPORTING IN SUPPORT OF UE ANTENNA SCALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236872 titled 'ENHANCED PHR REPORTING IN SUPPORT OF UE ANTENNA SCALING

The present disclosure pertains to devices, apparatuses, and methods for enhanced PHR reporting in support of UE antenna scaling. A wireless device with at least one antenna array, each comprising multiple antenna elements, can adjust antenna scaling by activating or deactivating antenna elements of one or more arrays. The device generates a PHR report based on the difference in beamforming gains before and after antenna scaling, then sends this report to a base station.

• Wireless device with antenna arrays can adjust antenna scaling by activating or deactivating antenna elements.
• PHR report is generated based on the difference in beamforming gains before and after antenna scaling.
• Report is sent to a base station for communication.

• • Potential Applications:**

This technology can be used in wireless communication systems to optimize antenna performance and enhance signal transmission.

• • Problems Solved:**

This technology addresses the need for efficient antenna scaling and reporting in wireless devices to improve overall communication quality.

• • Benefits:**

Improved antenna performance, enhanced signal transmission, and better communication quality are the key benefits of this technology.

• • Commercial Applications:**

Optimizing antenna performance in wireless devices can benefit telecommunications companies, network operators, and manufacturers of wireless devices.

• • Questions about UE Antenna Scaling:**

1. How does antenna scaling impact signal transmission in wireless devices? 2. What are the key factors to consider when adjusting antenna elements for optimal performance?

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to devices, apparatuses, and methods for enhanced phr reporting in support of ue antenna scaling. a wireless device, which comprises at least one antenna array each comprising a plurality of antenna elements may perform antenna scaling by activating or deactivating at least one of the plurality of antenna elements (with corresponding rf chains) of one or more antenna arrays. the wireless device may generate a power headroom (phr) report based at least on a difference between beamforming gains obtained after the antenna scaling and before the antenna scaling. the wireless device may then send the phr report to a base station in communication with the wireless device.
