PASSIVE DEVICE INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187040 titled 'PASSIVE DEVICE INFORMATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a method for wireless communication where a first device receives multiple reference signals (RSS) from a second device via a plurality of passive devices. Each RSS is forwarded individually by one of the passive devices with a first set of reflection configurations. An additional RSS is also received by the first device from the second device via the passive devices, where the additional RSS is forwarded jointly by all of the passive devices with a second set of reflection configurations. The first device determines information from the passive devices based on the multiple RSS and the additional RSS, represented by a change between the first and second sets of reflection configurations.
- Explanation:
- First device receives multiple RSS from second device via passive devices - Each RSS forwarded individually with first set of reflection configurations - Additional RSS received from second device via passive devices - Additional RSS forwarded jointly by all passive devices with second set of reflection configurations - First device determines information based on multiple RSS and additional RSS
- Potential Applications:
- Wireless communication systems - IoT devices - Smart home technology
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient data transmission - Reduced interference - Improved signal strength and reliability
- Benefits:
- Enhanced communication performance - Increased data transfer speeds - Simplified network configuration
- Potential Commercial Applications:
- Telecommunications industry - Networking equipment manufacturers - IoT device manufacturers
- Possible Prior Art:
- Multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems - Beamforming technology
- Unanswered Questions:
- How does this method improve signal reliability in crowded wireless environments?
- Unanswered Questions:
This method improves signal reliability by utilizing multiple passive devices to individually and jointly forward reference signals, reducing interference and improving signal strength.
- What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of scalability for large-scale networks?
The scalability of this technology for large-scale networks may be limited by the number of passive devices required and the complexity of managing multiple reflection configurations. Further research and development may be needed to address scalability challenges.
Original Abstract Submitted
various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. in some aspects, a first device () may receive multiple reference signals (rss) from a second device () via a plurality of passive devices (), where each rs of the multiple rss is forwarded individually by one of the plurality of passive devices with a first set of reflection configurations (slot slot ). the first device may receive an additional rs from the second device via the plurality of passive devices, where the additional rs is forwarded jointly by all of the plurality of passive devices with a second set of reflection configurations (slot ). the first device may determine information from the plurality of passive devices based on the multiple rss and the additional rs, where the information is represented by a change between the first set of reflection configurations and the second set of reflection configurations. numerous other aspects are described.
