APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING MULTI-BEAM OPERATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240162969 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING MULTI-BEAM OPERATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for uplink beam selection in a wireless communication system. The method involves the UE receiving configuration parameters for reference signals associated with multiple downlink beams, determining a subset of uplink beams that meet safety and reliability criteria, transmitting a configuration message to the BS with the selected uplink beams, and then transmitting data or control information using the selected uplink beams.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:

- UE receives configuration parameters for reference signals associated with multiple downlink beams. - UE determines a subset of uplink beams that satisfy maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits and are not subject to link failure. - UE transmits a configuration message to the BS with the selected uplink beams. - UE transmits uplink data or control information using the selected uplink beams.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method of uplink beam selection that includes receiving, by a user equipment (ue), one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of reference signals associated with a plurality of downlink beams comprising a first downlink beam; first determining, based on a beam sweeping process comprising measurement, of the reference signals, a plurality of uplink beams associated with the first downlink beam; second determining a first subset of uplink beams, of the plurality of uplink beams, that satisfy maximum permissible exposure (mpe) limits and that are not subject to link failure; first transmitting, to a base station (bs), a configuration message including configuration parameters of the first subset of the uplink beams; and second transmitting, by the ue, uplink data or control information using one or more beams of the first subset of the uplink beams.
