Ericsson Uplink Beam Management Multiple Antenna Panels Patent Application
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260100793A1 filed by Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson on January 10, 2023. The application discloses methods for uplink beam management enabling wireless devices to simultaneously transmit and receive from multiple antenna panels. The invention allows devices to indicate multi-panel capability to networks and configure uplink reference signals across different antenna groups.
What changed
USPTO published a patent application from Ericsson disclosing methods for managing uplink beams to enable simultaneous transmission and reception from multiple antenna panels in wireless communication devices. The application describes a procedure where wireless devices indicate multi-panel capabilities to networks, receive UL RS configurations specifying resources across different panels, and transmit reference signals accordingly.
For companies manufacturing wireless devices or network equipment, this patent application represents potential future IP licensing considerations. The technology relates to 5G and advanced beamforming implementations where devices utilize multiple antenna panels for enhanced throughput or diversity. Parties developing multi-panel wireless devices should monitor this application's prosecution for claim scope and potential licensing implications.
What to do next
- Monitor for patent grant and evaluate for licensing opportunities
- Review claims for potential infringement exposure in wireless device products
