Samsung patents method to keep phone signal stable by hopping frequencies

This patent describes a way for phones to send data to cell towers by jumping between different radio frequencies during a transmission. It ensures the signal stays at a consistent strength and phase across these frequency changes to improve reliability.

Why it mattersThis technique could help maintain a stable connection in crowded areas or when moving quickly, though it is a specific technical adjustment to existing 5G standards.

In the filing’s own words

Apparatuses and methods for transmission of uplink channels with frequency hopping. A method of a user equipment includes receiving first information indicating use of a same power for a transmission of a channel over different slots and second information indicating a first number of slots for the transmission of the channel. The method includes determining a first time window for the transmission of the channel based on the first and second information and a first power for the transmission of the channel over the first time window. The method further includes transmitting the channel over the first time window with the first power.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the UE comprising: a transceiver; and a processor operably coupled to the transceiver and configured to: receive a first configuration to configure repetition transmissions of an uplink channel and a second configuration to enable demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) bundling of a DM-RS for the uplink channel; determine a first time domain window, wherein: in case that a third configuration to configure a number of consecutive slots for the first time domain window is received, the first time domain window is determined as the number of consecutive slots configured by the third configuration, and in case that the third configuration is not received, the first time domain window is determined based on a repetition number of the repetition transmissions of the uplink channel; determine a second time domain window included in the first time domain window; and transmit the repetition transmissions of the uplink channel by maintaining power for the uplink channel and phase for the uplink channel in the second time domain window.
