MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617054657 A) filed by Samsung Electronics Co. , Ltd. on April 29, 2026, for Method And Apparatus For Controlling Synchronization Signal In Wireless Communication System Applying Base Station Energy Saving.

Inventors include Kim, Youngbum; Park, Kyoungmin; and Yi, Junyung.

The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transfer rates. Disclosed in the present disclosure are a method and an apparatus for providing an energy-saving mode of a base station. The base station may specify, for UE, a reference cell that serves as a QCL reference standard for PDCCH DMRSs, in addition to an SCell (SSB-less SCell) with simplified SSB transmission, and inform the UE of the specified reference cell through signaling. The reference cell may be a PCell or a second SCell among cells constituting a carrier aggregation, excluding the SSB-less SCell. The base station may specify an RS that the UE needs to refer to in the reference cell and inform the UE of the specified RS, thereby enabling the UE to determine QCL of the corresponding cell.
