FREQUENCY HOPPING ENHANCEMENT FOR PARTIAL FREQUENCY SOUNDING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240204934 titled 'FREQUENCY HOPPING ENHANCEMENT FOR PARTIAL FREQUENCY SOUNDING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for a base station to transmit control information associated with sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission to multiple user equipment (UE). The control information includes details about the SRS band and subbands allocated for different UEs within the same SRS band. The base station receives SRS from the UEs on multiple occasions based on the control information, with location hopping applied to these transmissions.

  • The method involves generating control information for SRS transmission to UEs.
  • The control information specifies the SRS band and subbands for different UEs in the same SRS band.
  • The base station receives SRS from UEs on multiple occasions according to the control information.
  • Location hopping is applied to the SRS transmissions to improve efficiency and reduce interference.
  • Starting locations for subbands on different SRS transmission occasions are determined based on a location hopping parameter.
