SIGNALING FOR POWER CLASS FALLBACK WITH TRANSMISSION DIVERSITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18079190 Titled 'SIGNALING FOR POWER CLASS FALLBACK WITH TRANSMISSION DIVERSITY'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a technology that allows user equipment (such as mobile devices) to indicate whether they can operate in a transmission diversity mode or a single transmission mode for a lower power class. If the user equipment cannot fall back to the single transmission mode, the base station configures the uplink resources based on the transmission diversity mode. However, if the user equipment can fall back to the single transmission mode, it informs the base station, which then configures the uplink resources accordingly for both modes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments herein enable user equipment to indicate that it may operate in a transmission diversity mode, but may fall back to a single transmission mode for a lower power class. In particular, if the user equipment will not fall back to a single transmission mode for a lower power class, then the base station configures uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the transmission diversity mode. Otherwise, the user equipment sends an indication to the base station that it will use the single transmission mode for the lower power class. The base station then configures uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the transmission diversity mode for the higher power class, and configures the uplink resources for the user equipment based on the user equipment operating in the single transmission mode for the lower power class.
