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 determines estimated beams for terminals, assigns them to user groups, and updates user group assignments accordingly. Additionally, the method includes paging operations based on the updated user groups, enhancing the efficiency of wireless communication systems.

Furthermore, the patent details an apparatus and computer-readable media storing instructions for executing the wireless communication method. The apparatus includes processors and storage media, enabling the performance of user grouping management, user group updates, and paging operations for terminals within a target cell. The method's predictive capabilities, based on CSI reports and beam calculations, facilitate efficient beam assignments and user group management. The disclosed technology aims to optimize wireless communication processes by streamlining user grouping and beam transmission strategies, ultimately enhancing the overall performance of base stations and network devices in handling wireless communications.
