BASEBAND UNIT, RADIO UNIT AND METHODS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240195472 titled 'BASEBAND UNIT, RADIO UNIT AND METHODS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

The abstract describes a method for assisting a radio unit in performing beamforming for communication in a wireless network using a multiple antenna system.

  • The baseband unit (BBU) calculates beamforming weights (BFWs) for a subset of subcarriers.
  • The BBU transforms the calculated BFWs from frequency domain to tap-domain BFWs using a mathematical transformation.
  • One or more tap-domain BFWs are selected and sent to the radio unit (RU) to assist in beamforming.
  • The selected tap-domain BFWs help the RU in optimizing communication between the user equipment (UE) and the base station.

Potential Applications: - Wireless communication networks - 5G technology - Mobile telecommunications

Original Abstract Submitted

a method is provided, performed by a baseband unit (bbu) for assisting a radio unit (ru) to perform beamforming for a communication between a user equipment (ue) and a base station in a wireless communications network using a multiple antenna system for communication. the bbu and the ru are associated with the base station. the bbu calculates () respective beamforming weights. bfws, for at least a subset of subcarriers out of a number of subcarriers. the bbu transforms () by a mathematical transformation, the respective calculated bfws, from frequency domain bfws to obtain tap-domain bfws. the bbu select () one or more tap-domain bfws from said obtained tap-domain bfws. the bbu sends () to the ru, the selected one or more the tap-domain bfws. the selected one or more tap-domain bfws assists the ru to perform beamforming for the communication between the ce and the base station.
