JOINT CHANNEL ESTIMATION FOR MULTIPLE DOWNLINK TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18129672 Titled 'JOINT CHANNEL ESTIMATION FOR MULTIPLE DOWNLINK TRANSMISSIONS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes mechanisms for a user equipment (UE) to perform joint channel estimation for multiple downlink transmissions. The UE reports its capability to perform joint channel estimation to a base station and receives a configuration for the estimation, which includes a time domain window (TDW) indicating the duration of the estimation. The UE then determines whether to perform the joint channel estimation. If it decides to proceed, it determines an actual time domain window within the TDW and performs the joint channel estimation for two physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions using different demodulation reference signals (DMRS).


Original Abstract Submitted

Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to perform joint channel estimation for multiple downlink transmissions. A method performed by a UE can include reporting, to a base station, a capability of the lIE to perform joint channel estimation, receiving a configuration for joint channel estimation, where the configuration includes a time domain window (TDW) indicating a duration of the joint channel estimation, and further determining whether to perform the joint channel estimation. Based on a determination to perform the joint channel estimation, the method can include determining an actual time domain window within the TDW for performing the joint channel estimation, and performing the joint channel estimation within the actual time domain window for a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission based on a first demodulation reference signals (DMRS), and a second PDSCH transmission based on a second DMRS.
