Wireless communication through physical barriers using beamforming
The patent US12047136B2 outlines a method and system for wirelessly communicating through physical barriers using beamforming technology. The primary method involves determining and transferring uplink and downlink beamforming information and power information through a physical barrier. This process includes receiving signals from user communication devices, beamforming and amplifying these signals based on the received information, and then transferring the processed signals to a wireless access node. The claims detail various aspects of the method, including the use of beamforming matrix indicators and apertures to enhance signal transmission and reception through barriers.
Additionally, the patent describes the functionalities of network communication devices and serving communication devices that facilitate this wireless communication. These devices are equipped with transceivers that manage the reception and transmission of both uplink and downlink signals, ensuring that the signals are appropriately beamformed and amplified based on the determined information. The claims also specify the ability of these devices to derive power information from the beamforming data, further optimizing the communication process. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving wireless communication efficiency in environments where physical barriers may impede signal quality.
