Samsung patents phones helping each other pick the best signal beam

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung describes a method where one phone asks another nearby phone to measure the wireless signal strength. The first phone then uses these measurements to choose the best direction, or beam, for sending data to the second phone.

Why it mattersThis could help 5G and 6G networks maintain stronger connections by letting devices work together to find the clearest path for data.

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). A method performed by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising transmitting, to a second UE, a request message for collaborative sensing, receiving, from the second UE, a response message including sensing measurements based on the request message, and transmitting, to the second UE, a sensing signal for a beam selection based on the sensing measurements, wherein the second UE is a UE which is identified as a UE with the collaborative sensing based on the request message.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting, to a second UE, a request message for collaborative sensing; receiving, from the second UE, a response message including sensing measurements based on the request message; and transmitting, to the second UE, a sensing signal for a beam selection based on the sensing measurements, wherein the second UE is a UE which is identified as a UE with the collaborative sensing based on the request message.
