POSITIONING AND NETWORK ENERGY SAVINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240283604 titled 'POSITIONING AND NETWORK ENERGY SAVINGS
The abstract of this patent application describes techniques for wireless communication, where a network node can indicate specific time occasions during which it will refrain from transmitting downlink transmissions, receiving uplink transmissions, or both, as well as refraining from transmitting or receiving positioning reference signals based on those time occasions.
- The network node can transmit configurations to a network entity indicating when it will refrain from certain communication activities.
- This includes refraining from downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, or both, as well as positioning reference signals.
- The node adjusts its communication behavior based on the specified time occasions to optimize network performance.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be applied in cellular networks to improve efficiency and reduce interference.
- It can also be used in IoT devices to enhance communication reliability in crowded wireless environments.
Problems Solved:
- Addressing interference issues in wireless communication.
- Optimizing network performance by scheduling communication activities.
Benefits:
- Improved network efficiency and reliability.
- Enhanced communication performance in challenging wireless environments.
Commercial Applications:
- This technology can be valuable for telecom companies looking to enhance their network performance and reliability.
- It can also benefit IoT device manufacturers seeking to improve communication in dense wireless environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology impact overall network performance? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing these communication behavior adjustments in real-world networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. in an aspect, a network node transmits, to a network entity, at least one configuration indicating one or more time occasions during which the network node will refrain from transmission of downlink transmissions, reception of uplink transmissions, or both, and refrains from transmission of downlink positioning reference signals (dl-prs), reception of uplink positioning reference signals (ul-prs), or both based on the one or more time occasions.
