USER EQUIPMENTS, BASE STATIONS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-PANEL PUSCH TRANSMISSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18030763 titled 'USER EQUIPMENTS, BASE STATIONS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-PANEL PUSCH TRANSMISSION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that is capable of configuring multiple sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets for aperiodic SRS transmission.
- The UE includes higher layer circuitry that can receive information to configure more than one SRS resource set.
- The UE also includes medium access control (MAC) circuitry that can receive a MAC control element (MAC CE) to activate one or more of the SRS resource sets.
- The UE has receiving circuitry that can receive downlink control information (DCI) carried by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
- The UE also has transmitting circuitry that can transmit an SRS.
- Each configured SRS resource set includes a slot offset for the aperiodic SRS transmission.
- The DCI includes an SRS request field that indicates which activated SRS resource set should be used.
- The transmitting circuitry transmits the SRS based on the indicated SRS resource set and the slot offset included in that resource set.
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) is described. Higher layer circuitry is configured to receive information to configure more than one sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set for aperiodic SRS transmission. Medium access control (MAC) circuitry is configured to receive a MAC control element (MAC CE) to activate one or more of the SRS resource sets. Receiving circuitry is configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) carried by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). Transmitting circuitry is configured to transmit an SRS. A configuration of each of the configured SRS resource sets includes a slot offset for the aperiodic SRS transmission. An SRS request field in the DCI indicates one from the activated SRS resource set. The transmitting circuitry transmits the SRS based on the indicated SRS resource set and the slot offset included in the indicated SRS resource set.
