Samsung patents 5G antenna method to boost data speeds
Samsung has filed a patent for a method that helps 5G and 6G base stations manage multiple antennas more efficiently. The system uses specific signals to determine how to direct data streams, allowing for faster and more stable wireless connections.
In the filing’s own words
The present disclosure relates to a 5G communication system or a 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system is provided, the method including transmitting, to a terminal, codebook configuration information associated with a second codebook, the second codebook is applicable to a first codebook, and sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information for configuring an SRS transmission resource; receiving, from the terminal, an SRS on the SRS transmission resource configured based on the SRS configuration information; based on the received SRS, determining a transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) based on the first codebook and a precoding matrix control parameter based on the second codebook; and transmitting, to the terminal, information associated with the precoding matrix control parameter and the TPMI.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting, to a terminal, codebook configuration information associated with a second codebook applicable to a precoding matrix based on a first codebook, and sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration information for configuring an SRS transmission resource; receiving, from the terminal, an SRS on the SRS transmission resource configured based on the SRS configuration information; based on the received SRS, determining a transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) based on the first codebook and a precoding matrix control parameter based on the second codebook; and transmitting, to the terminal, information associated with the precoding matrix control parameter and the TPMI.
