ANTENNA SELECTION TECHNIQUES FOR UPLINK AND DOWNLINK WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18345548 Titled 'ANTENNA SELECTION TECHNIQUES FOR UPLINK AND DOWNLINK WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that allow a user equipment (UE) to select antennas for both uplink and downlink communications. The UE has a set of available antennas and can choose a subset of antennas for uplink communications and another subset for downlink communications. The selection of the first subset of antennas for uplink is based on one or more uplink metrics. The selection of the second subset of antennas for downlink is based on the first subset of antennas and one or more downlink channel metrics, traffic amounts, or a combination of these factors.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for antenna selection at a user equipment (UE). The UE may have a set of available antennas for uplink and downlink communications, and may select a first subset of antennas for uplink communications and a second subset of antennas for downlink communications. The first subset of antennas may be based on one or more uplink metrics, and the second subset of antennas may be based on the first subset of antennas and one or more downlink channel metrics, traffic amounts, or any combinations thereof.
