FREQUENCY BAND HAVING VARIABLE DUPLEX SPACING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18084132 titled 'FREQUENCY BAND HAVING VARIABLE DUPLEX SPACING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication network that broadcasts information about frequency bands to user equipment.

  • The network broadcasts an indication of a full frequency band and a partial frequency band.
  • User equipment receives the broadcasted indications.
  • If the user equipment can operate on the full frequency band, it transmits an indication to the network.
  • The network configures the user equipment to operate on the full frequency band.
  • The user equipment then communicates with the network using the full frequency band.
  • If the user equipment can only operate on the partial frequency band, it transmits an indication to the network.
  • The network configures the user equipment to operate on the partial frequency band.
  • The user equipment communicates with the network using the partial frequency band.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication network broadcasts an indication of a frequency band and an indication of a partial frequency band. User equipment receives the broadcasted indications, if it may operate on the full frequency band, transmits an indication. The network then configures the user equipment to operate on the full frequency band, and the user equipment communicates with the network using the full frequency band. Otherwise, the user equipment transmits an indication that it may operate on the partial frequency band, the network configures the user equipment to operate on the partial frequency band, and the user equipment communicates with the network using the partial frequency band.
