MAC CONTROL ELEMENT FOR MULTI-TRANSMISSION/RECEPTION POINT OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322984 titled 'MAC CONTROL ELEMENT FOR MULTI-TRANSMISSION/RECEPTION POINT OPERATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for a MAC CE (Medium Access Control Control Element) for multi-TRP (Transmission Reception Point) operation in a wireless communication system. It involves receiving MAC PDUs (Protocol Data Units) from a base station, identifying an enhanced unified TCI (Transmission Configuration Indicator) states activation/deactivation MAC CE, and indicating information associated with the MAC CE to lower layers.
- The patent application focuses on enhancing the operation of MAC CE for multi-TRP in wireless communication systems.
- It involves receiving MAC PDUs from a base station and identifying specific MAC CE elements for joint TCI states or separate TCI states.
- The invention allows for the activation of up to 32 TCI state IDs and includes a bitmap of TCI state ID presence indications.
- The identified MAC CE information is then indicated to lower layers for further processing.
