Application: Beam management and bandwidth part operation for non-terrestrial networks (Patent ID: US20240163688A1)
The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. focuses on methods, apparatus, and systems for beam management and bandwidth part (BWP) operations for NR NTN. The abstract highlights the implementation of beam management methods for both one beam per cell and multiple beams per cell, along with the broadcast of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states by a network node. The claims detail a method for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to receive configuration information for beam management from a base station, including TCI state information, BWP configuration, and circular polarization indication. The method involves updating TCI states based on time values and managing beams of the WTRU accordingly, with additional features such as circular polarization indication, beam failure detection, and BWP switching.
The patent also covers the structure of the WTRU, including a processor and memory storing executable instructions for receiving configuration information, updating TCI states, and managing beams based on the updated TCI states. The circular polarization indication, communication with non-terrestrial devices, and group common medium access control-control element (MAC-CE) for non-terrestrial WTRUs are highlighted. Additionally, a computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions for a computing device to receive configuration information, update TCI states, and manage beams of the WTRU is described in the claims. The patent emphasizes the importance of efficient beam management and BWP operations for NR NTN systems, showcasing advancements in wireless communication technologies.
