UPDATING A TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR FOR A COMPONENT CARRIER LIST - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107536 titled 'UPDATING A TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR FOR A COMPONENT CARRIER LIST
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a user equipment (UE) can receive multiple downlink control information (DCI) communications indicating different transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for different component carriers. The UE can then transmit multiple acknowledgement (ACK) messages via physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions, applying TCI updates based on TCI states and rules.
- Explanation:
- UE receives DCI for different TCI states on different component carriers. - UE sends ACK messages via PUCCH transmissions. - TCI updates are applied based on TCI states and rules.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in: - 5G networks - IoT devices - Mobile communication systems
Problems Solved
- Efficient handling of multiple component carriers - Improved uplink control channel transmission - Enhanced communication reliability
Benefits
- Optimal resource utilization - Reduced interference - Enhanced data transmission efficiency
Potential Commercial Applications
- Telecommunication companies - Network equipment manufacturers - IoT device manufacturers
Possible Prior Art
- Previous patents related to multi-component carrier communication - Research papers on uplink control channel optimization
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life of the user equipment?
This article does not address the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of the user equipment. It would be important to understand if the increased transmission activity affects the device's power consumption.
Are there any limitations to the number of TCI states that can be efficiently managed by the user equipment?
The article does not discuss any limitations on the number of TCI states that can be effectively handled by the user equipment. It would be valuable to know if there is a threshold beyond which the system becomes less efficient.
Original Abstract Submitted
various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. in some aspects, a user equipment (ue) may receive a plurality of downlink control information (dci) communications, associated with a first component carrier and a second component carrier, that indicate a plurality of respective transmission configuration indicator (tci) states, wherein the first component carrier and the second component carrier are included in a same component carrier list. the ue may transmit a plurality of acknowledgement (ack) messages via a plurality of respective physical uplink control channel (pucch) transmissions that are included in a single pucch or in overlapping pucchs. the ue may apply a tci update to at least one of the first component carrier or the second component carrier based at least in part on a tci state of the plurality of tci states and in accordance with one or more rules. numerous other aspects are described.
