SIGNALING AND PROCEDURE TO INDICATE A MODE OF COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18125004 titled 'SIGNALING AND PROCEDURE TO INDICATE A MODE OF COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about apparatuses and methods for indicating the mode of communication in a wireless communication system.

  • The base station determines whether the mode of communication for a cell is full-duplex or half-duplex.
  • The base station generates system information that includes the mode of communication for the cell.
  • The system information helps a user equipment (UE) to access the cell.
  • The base station transmits the system information to the UE.


Original Abstract Submitted

Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for providing signaling and procedures to indicate a mode of communication of a wireless communication system. For example, a base station is configured to determine a mode of communication for a cell associated with the base station. The mode of communication can include one of a full-duplex mode or a half-duplex mode. The base station can further generate system information to enable initial access by a user equipment (UE) to the cell. A portion of the system information can indicate the mode of communication for the cell. The base station can also transmit the system information to the UE.
