Closed-Loop Power Control for Multi-Panel 5G Transmission

The patent segments the power control mechanism by introducing panel-specific power control adjust values that can be independently applied to different antenna panels. The DCI format is segmented to include separate TPC commands for each panel, allowing independent power adjustment rather than applying a single power control value to all panels collectively.

The patent applies local quality by enabling different power control parameters to be assigned to different antenna panels based on their specific characteristics and transmission requirements. Each panel can have its own power control adjust value, allowing localized optimization of transmit power for each panel rather than uniform power control across all panels.

The patent introduces dynamic panel identification mechanisms where the UE determines which antenna panel is currently active or being used for transmission. The power control signaling dynamically adapts to the current transmission scenario by activating only the relevant panel-specific TPC commands, rather than maintaining fixed complex signaling structures for all possible panels simultaneously.

The patent uses DCI format 0_1 as an intermediary carrier that transports both the panel identification information and the corresponding panel-specific TPC commands. This intermediary structure allows the system to convey multiple pieces of information (panel ID, TPC value, panel activation status) in a unified signaling mechanism, reducing the need for separate dedicated signaling channels for each parameter.
