Samsung patents method to keep 5G signal steady as you move
Samsung has been granted a patent for a technique that helps mobile devices maintain a stable connection while moving. The system tracks the device's position changes and adjusts the signal direction to compensate for the movement, ensuring the connection stays aligned with the base station.
In the filing’s own words
Methods and apparatuses are provided in which position information is determined corresponding to movement of a user equipment (UE) from first local coordinates to second local coordinates. Receive angles of the UE are derived from the position information of the UE. A beamforming weight of the UE is determined based on the derived receive angles of the UE. The beamforming weight is configured such that a beam direction of the second local coordinates matches a beam direction of the first local coordinates.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: determining position information corresponding to movement of a user equipment (UE) from first local coordinates to second local coordinates; deriving receive angles of the UE from the position information of the UE; and determining a beamforming weight of the UE based on the derived receive angles of the UE, wherein the beamforming weight is configured to compensate for a change in a local coordinate system of the UE such that a beam direction associated with the first local coordinates is preserved.
