REPORTING OF BEAM SWEEP RECONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340065 titled 'REPORTING OF BEAM SWEEP RECONFIGURATION

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for resolving conflicts in the configuration of random access channels (RACH) in a wireless communications network by adjusting the timing of beam sweeping for cells served by a network node.

  • Detecting conflicts in RACH configuration for a cell served by the network node.
  • Changing the beam sweeping timing of the cell in response to the conflict.
  • Signaling the new beam sweeping timing to the central unit (CU) of the network node.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Detection of RACH configuration conflicts in a wireless communications network.
  • Dynamic adjustment of beam sweeping timing to resolve conflicts.
  • Signaling the new beam sweeping timing to the CU for network optimization.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communications networks.
  • Cellular network optimization.
  • Network node management.

Problems Solved:

  • Resolving conflicts in RACH configuration.
  • Optimizing network performance.
  • Enhancing communication efficiency.

Benefits:

  • Improved network reliability.
  • Enhanced data transmission efficiency.
  • Reduced interference in wireless communications.

Commercial Applications:

  • Telecom companies for optimizing network performance.
  • Technology firms for developing advanced wireless communication solutions.
  • Network equipment manufacturers for implementing innovative features in their products.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research papers on beamforming techniques in wireless communications networks, RACH configuration conflicts, and network optimization strategies.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring new algorithms for dynamic beam sweeping timing adjustment, machine learning applications for conflict resolution, and the impact of RACH configuration on network performance.

Questions about Wireless Communications Networks: 1. How do conflicts in RACH configuration affect network performance? 2. What are the key challenges in optimizing beam sweeping timing for wireless communication networks?


Original Abstract Submitted

a method of operating a du of a network node of a wireless communications network includes detecting a rach configuration conflict for a cell served by the du in which ssbs having different ssb indices are transmitted using a plurality of spatial beams according to a beam sweeping timing, changing the beam sweeping timing of the cell from an original beam sweeping timing to a new beam sweeping timing in response to detecting the rach conflict, and signalling the new beam sweeping timing to a cu of the network node. signalling the new beam sweeping timing to the cu includes signalling to the cu an indication of ssbs affected by the changing of the beam sweeping timing.
