Transmission power compensation by attenuation mapping in 5G and 6G
11581919 · 2023-02-14 · ·

For improved messaging reliability in 5G and 6G, mobile users and their base stations can adjust their transmission power according to the current location of the mobile user. Each entity can maintain a map of known attenuation values, including “dead zones”, and can adjust their transmission power and/or reception gain to compensate. Instead of constantly exchanging location-update messages, the users can indicate their speed and direction, and the base station (or other users) can extrapolate the location versus time to determine a future location, and thereby determine the attenuation factor at the new position. In addition, the base station can use a map to follow the mobile user device's progress, and can thereby update the attenuation factor in real-time. If the mobile user makes a change, it can inform the base station at that time, or during initial access. Result: improved reliability, lower energy consumption, improved traffic safety.

5G and especially 6G are intended to accommodate high-speed mobile user devices and access points such as wireless devices on trains and airplanes, while retaining enhanced mobile broadband eMBB service. Therefore, new resource-efficient, low-complexity procedures are needed for measuring and correcting the Doppler frequency shift. To assist user devices, a base station or access point can periodically broadcast a current geographical location of the base station or access point in a localization message. In some embodiments, the geographical location data can be included in a periodically broadcast system information message, such as unused space of a SSB (synchronization signal block) message or an SIB1 (first system information block) message. User devices can then determine a vector toward the base station or access point relative to the user device location and velocity, and thereby calculate a Doppler correction without a frequency scan or other overhead, according to some embodiments.
