20240244532. Open RAN Radio Unit Power Saving on Per-Symbol Basis Using Transmission Blanking_simplified_abstract_(dell products l.p.)

Inventor(s): Ahmad Farhoodi of Kanata (CA) for dell products l.p.

IPC Code(s): H04W52/02

CPC Code(s): H04W52/0261



Abstract: parsing of c-plane messages is described using transmission blanking, e.g., c-plane messages that are communicated from an open ran distributed unit (o-du) to an open ran radio unit (o-ru) to determine whether a particular symbol that is to be subsequently communicated via u-plane messages is blank (e.g., no physical resource blocks (prb)) or not blank (e.g., at least one prb). a bitmap can be constructed by the o-ru having a bit length equal to the number of symbols to be communicated, where each bit of the bitmap corresponds to one of the symbols and indicates whether the corresponding symbol is blank. such can be determined from counters that can count the number of blank prbs within a given symbol. during blank symbols, some devices can be powered down to conserve power on a symbol-by-symbol basis in a manner that is compliant with open ran specifications and does not presume the same vendor for o-ru and o-du.

Inventor(s): Ilya Portnik of Ashton (CA) for dell products l.p., Eran Goldstein of Montreal (CA) for dell products l.p., Jayaram Venguduswamy Srinivasan of Nepean (CA) for dell products l.p.

IPC Code(s): H04W56/00, H04W72/1268

CPC Code(s): H04W56/005



Abstract: the technology described herein is directed towards aligning the downlink symbol timing boundaries of coordinated multi-point (comp) transmitting radio units, so that a user equipment receives transmitted signals from each cell at generally the same time. in a comp scenario, synchronized downlink transmissions from a connected cell and a cooperating cell are generally not received at the same time by a target user equipment because of different propagation distances from the transmitting radio units; such misalignment leads to performance degradation. by offsetting the downlink symbol timing boundaries relative to each other, a targeted user equipment receives symbols at the desired time boundary, resulting in constructive interference that improves and a cell's downlink throughput and/or coverage. time alignment via offset symbol timing boundaries also eliminates inter-symbol interference. modified scheduling can be used to ensure that downlink and uplink transmissions from the coordinated radio units do not interfere with one another.
