RACH-Less Handover PUSCH Mapping for Downlink Beam Reliability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In new radio (NR) RACH-less handover processes, the lack of random access channel (RACH) transmission and reference signal selection leads to reduced reliability due to the directional nature of downlink signals, making it difficult to determine the manner of transmitting downlink signals.
Innovation Solution
Establishing an association relationship between the resource of the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and a reference signal in the target cell, such as SSB or CSI-RS, to facilitate reliable RACH-less communication by determining the appropriate reference signal beam for subsequent downlink transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If RACH transmission and reference signal selection are removed in handover process, then handover speed and efficiency are improved, but communication reliability deteriorates due to inability to determine downlink signal transmission manner
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the association relationship between PUSCH resources and reference signals before handover occurs. The terminal device determines this association in advance during the handover preparation phase, so that when RACH-less handover is executed, the downlink signal transmission manner is already determined, eliminating the reliability issue while maintaining fast handover speed.
2Reliability
If association relationship between PUSCH resource and reference signal is established, then downlink signal transmission manner can be determined and communication reliability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the terminal device to autonomously determine the association relationship between PUSCH resources and reference signals without requiring complex network-side coordination or additional signaling procedures. The terminal uses its own capabilities to establish this relationship, thereby improving reliability while avoiding increased system complexity.
