A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11870526B2) discloses a wireless communication method designed for base stations. The method involves user grouping management for multiple terminals within a target cell, with periodic updates to user groups based on received channel state information (CSI) reports. These reports include data on CSI reference signals, received power levels, and beam predictions for future transmissions. By analyzing this information, the method predicts the estimated beam for each terminal at a specific time, determines the corresponding user group, and updates the user group accordingly. Additionally, the method includes paging terminals based on the updated user groups, enhancing communication efficiency within the network.

Furthermore, the patent details an apparatus and computer-readable media storing instructions for executing the wireless communication method. The apparatus comprises processors and storage media, enabling the performance of user grouping management, periodic user group updates, and paging operations based on received CSI reports. The method's efficiency is enhanced by predicting estimated beams for terminals and updating user groups accordingly. The disclosed technology aims to optimize wireless communication processes within target cells, ensuring effective management of user groups and streamlined paging operations. Additionally, the patent outlines specific time intervals for beam predictions and user group updates, aligning with synchronization signal blocks or bursts, further enhancing the method's precision and effectiveness in wireless communication scenarios.
