The patent application discusses advancements in wireless communication, specifically focusing on uplink transmissions utilizing more than the conventional four layers. It introduces a method for configuring uplink transmissions for user equipment (UE) using eight transmitters. This configuration is facilitated by a network device that encodes a precoder rank indicator and a precoder indicator, which are crucial for the eight-transmitter uplink transmission by the UE.
The application falls within the realm of wireless communications, with a particular emphasis on enhancing uplink transmission capabilities. It builds upon existing standards set by the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP), which traditionally supports up to four layers for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions. The invention aims to expand these capabilities to accommodate more complex and efficient transmission systems.
The increasing prevalence of wireless devices has led to a demand for improved communication standards. The 3GPP has been instrumental in defining these standards, including techniques for uplink communications such as transmit precoding matrix indices (TPMIs). However, current standards are limited to four layers, prompting the need for advancements that support more layers to enhance data transmission efficiency and capacity.
The patent provides a comprehensive description of the system, including various embodiments that enable those skilled in the art to implement the technology. It includes details on precoding matrices for different transmission scenarios, such as single-layer and multi-layer transmissions using varying numbers of antenna ports. The description highlights the flexibility of the system in adapting to different technical standards and transmission requirements.
The application outlines specific claims related to the encoding and transmission processes involved in utilizing more than four layers for uplink communications. It emphasizes the use of precoder rank and indicator encoding as key components of the system. The claims encompass various embodiments and potential equivalents, ensuring broad applicability and adaptability of the technology across different wireless communication platforms.
