Samsung patents method to split signal checks between different phone networks
Samsung describes a way for a cell tower to assign specific signal-checking slots to phones using different network standards. The system ensures that devices on one network type do not use the same signal resources as devices on another network type.
In the filing’s own words
A BS includes a processor, and a transceiver operably coupled to the processor. The transceiver is configured to transmit first information indicating a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource configuration for at least one user equipment (UE) operating according to a first radio access technology (RAT), and transmit second information indicating an SRS resource sampling configuration for the at least one UE operating according to the first RAT. The SRS resource configuration allocates, to the at least one UE operating according to the first RAT, one or more SRS resources from an SRS resource set that are different from SRS resources from the SRS resource set allocated to at least one UE operating according to a second RAT.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A base station (BS) comprising: a processor; and a transceiver operably coupled to the transceiver, the transceiver configured to: transmit first information indicating a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource configuration for at least one user equipment (UE) operating according to a first radio access technology (RAT); and transmit second information indicating an SRS resource sampling configuration for the at least one UE operating according to the first RAT, wherein the SRS resource configuration allocates, to the at least one UE operating according to the first RAT, one or more SRS resources from an SRS resource set that are different from SRS resources from the SRS resource set allocated to at least one UE operating according to a second RAT.
