Samsung patents method for adjusting phone signal strength in 5G and 6G networks

Samsung has filed a patent for a way phones can decide how hard to push their signal back to a cell tower. The method involves the phone receiving instructions on how to send control data and then calculating the right power level based on the specific information being sent.

Why it mattersThis is a routine technical update for future mobile networks that helps ensure phones use the right amount of energy to send small control messages, which can improve battery life and network stability.

In the filing’s own words

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method and an apparatus for transmission of an uplink signal in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes receiving first information, where the first information is used for configuring or indicating a terminal to transmit uplink control information (UCI) in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), determining a transmission power of the PUCCH based on the first information, and transmitting the PUCCH based on the determined transmission power, where in case that the UCI includes two or more UCI bit sequences, the transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on at least one of the two or more UCI bit sequences. The invention provides an enhanced communication method and apparatus.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising: receiving first information, wherein the first information is used for configuring or indicating the terminal to transmit uplink control information (UCI) in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); determining a transmission power of the PUCCH based on the first information; and transmitting the PUCCH based on the determined transmission power, wherein in case that the UCI includes two or more UCI bit sequences, the transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on at least one of the two or more UCI bit sequences.
