US Patent Issued on Nov. 3 for "Ultra-lean beam optimization in 5G and 6G" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,786,981, issued on Nov. 3.

"Ultra-lean beam optimization in 5G and 6G" was invented by David E. Newman (Poway, Calif.) and R. Kemp Massengill (Palos Verdes, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Optimization of transmission beams in 5G/6G requires feedback to the transmitting entity. Current beam alignment/optimization methods are so complex and resource-intensive, that users often delay re-alignment even when required by to changing conditions. Therefore, methods are provided for a transmitter to add two brief, single-resource-element test signals, with slightly different transmission parameters (such as direction), to the end each messa...
