Samsung patents base station signal timing for wireless networks
Samsung describes a method for a base station to send a specific signal during the short gap between receiving data from a phone and sending data back. This timing adjustment helps align the communication in a time-division duplex system where up and down links share the same frequency.
In the filing’s own words
A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system includes receiving, from a terminal configured with timing advance (TA), an uplink signal in an uplink period, according to a time division duplex (TDD) configuration, transmitting, through a transmission path of the base station to the terminal, an advance signal for a predetermined duration between an end point of receiving the uplink signal and a start point of a downlink period of the TDD configuration, the transmission path of the base station having a power amplifier as a transmission end, and transmitting, to the terminal, a downlink signal in the downlink period.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an uplink signal in an uplink period, according to a time division duplex (TDD) configuration; transmitting, through a transmission path of the base station having a power amplifier, an advance signal within a time period between an end time of receiving the uplink signal and a start time of a downlink period according to the TDD configuration; and transmitting, to the UE, a downlink signal in the downlink period.
