Samsung patents method for grouping 5G/6G cells around users
Samsung describes a way to organize small 5G or 6G base stations into a group focused on a specific user. The system collects signal strength and location data from the phone to decide which nearby antennas should work together to serve that device.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. The present invention generally relates to the field of femtocell, and more specifically relates to a method and a system for forming a User Centric Cluster (UCC) for at least one Cell Free (CF) femtocell deployment.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method ( 1100) for forming a User Centric Cluster (UCC) for at least one Cell Free (CF) femtocell deployment, the method ( 1100) comprising: receiving ( 1101) one or more network parameters from a User Equipment (UE) ( 400) at a network entity ( 300), wherein the network entity ( 300) comprises at least one of multiple Transmission Reception Points (TRPs) and a TRP Controller (TRP-C), wherein the one or more network parameters comprise Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) information, Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state measurement information, Uplink (UL) pilot signal information, and location sensing information; processing ( 1102) the one or more received network parameters at the network entity ( 300) comprising a centralized processing at the TRP-C and a localized processing at each TRP associated with the multiple TRPs; and forming ( 1103) the UCC for the at least one CF femtocell deployment based on at least one of the centralized processing at the TRP-C and the localized processing at the multiple TRPs.
