APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BEAMFORMING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240298190 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BEAMFORMING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The present disclosure pertains to 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication systems that support higher data transmission rates than 4th generation systems like Long-Term Evolution (LTE). The method described involves a repeater device receiving control information from a base station, including a repeater index list, and then receiving a downlink signal from the base station. The repeater device identifies whether the index of the downlink signal is included in the repeater index list. If it is included, the device amplifies the signal and transmits a repeater beamforming signal generated by applying a beamforming weight to the amplified signal. If the index is not included, the device simply amplifies and transmits the downlink signal.
- Repeater device receives control information and downlink signal from base station in a wireless communication system.
- Device identifies if the index of the downlink signal is included in the repeater index list.
- If included, the device amplifies the signal and transmits a repeater beamforming signal.
- If not included, the device simply amplifies and transmits the downlink signal.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing data transmission rates in 5G or pre-5G communication systems. - Improving signal quality and coverage in wireless communication networks.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the need for higher data transmission rates in advanced communication systems. - Optimizing signal amplification and beamforming in repeater devices.
Benefits: - Increased data transmission speeds and network efficiency. - Enhanced signal coverage and quality for users in wireless communication systems.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Repeater Technology for Enhanced Wireless Communication Systems" This technology can be utilized in telecommunications companies, network infrastructure providers, and IoT device manufacturers to improve data transmission rates and signal quality in 5G networks.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this repeater technology differ from traditional signal boosters? - This repeater technology includes advanced beamforming capabilities to optimize signal transmission and coverage. 2. What impact could this technology have on the development of smart cities? - This technology could enable more efficient and reliable communication networks to support various smart city applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to 5th generation (5g) or pre-5g communication systems supporting higher data transmission rates than 4th generation communication systems (e.g., long-term evolution). a method to be performed by a repeater device includes receiving, from a base station in the wireless communication system, control information including configuration information indicating a repeater index list, receiving, from the base station, a downlink signal, identifying whether an index of the downlink signal is included in the repeater index list, based on identifying that the index of the downlink signal is included in the repeater index list, amplifying the downlink signal, and transmitting a repeater beamforming signal that is generated by applying a beamforming weight to the amplified downlink signal, and, based on identifying that the index of the downlink signal is not included in the repeater index list, amplifying the downlink signal and transmitting the amplified downlink signal.
