Samsung patents method for flexible 5G beam configuration

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

This patent describes a method for 5G or 6G networks to dynamically set up data transmission paths, known as beams, based on instructions from a base station. The system uses specific timing data to determine when and how to send signals, allowing the network to adjust its setup quickly.

Why it mattersIt improves the flexibility of how mobile networks manage data flow, which could help support faster and more reliable connections in future 5G and 6G systems.

In the filing’s own words

The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A communication method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which belong to the field of wireless communication technology are provided. The method is performed by a network device, and the method includes receiving first information used to configure at least one first beam for transmitting information, determining at least one first beam based on the first information, and transmitting information based on the determined at least one first beam. Based on the solutions provided by the embodiments of the disclosure, it is possible to implement flexible configuration of beams used by network devices, provide information transmission performance, and meet application requirements better.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a repeater in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, configuration information on a time resource for an aperiodic forwarding; receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including information for indicating a beam and information for indicating the time resource associated with the beam for the aperiodic forwarding; and transmitting, to a terminal, signal on the time resource corresponding to the beam, wherein the configuration information includes information on an offset and information on a duration associated with the time resource.
