COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18103110 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and device in a wireless communication system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves receiving a message from a base station that configures a medium access control (MAC) parameter for a terminal.
  • The method also involves identifying an uplink grant for a MAC protocol data unit (PDU).
  • The method further involves identifying skip uplink transmission information in the message, which instructs the terminal to skip an uplink transmission.
  • If the uplink grant is addressed to a specific identifier or is a configured uplink grant, the method skips the generation of the MAC PDU if there is no MAC service data unit (SDU) for it, and the MAC PDU only contains a padding buffer status report (BSR).

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems: This method and device can be applied in various wireless communication systems to improve efficiency and optimize resource allocation.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient resource allocation: By skipping the generation of MAC PDUs when there is no relevant data, this technology helps optimize the use of resources in wireless communication systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: Skipping the generation of MAC PDUs when there is no relevant data reduces unnecessary transmissions, leading to improved overall efficiency in wireless communication systems.
  • Resource optimization: By optimizing the use of resources, this technology helps maximize the capacity and performance of wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and devices in a wireless communication system are provided. A method includes receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message configuring a medium access control (MAC) parameter for the terminal, identifying an uplink grant for a MAC protocol data unit (PDU); identifying that skip uplink transmission information indicating for the terminal to skip an uplink transmission is configured in the RRC reconfiguration message and that the uplink grant is addressed to a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) or is a configured uplink grant; and skipping a generation of the MAC PDU for the uplink grant, in case that a MAC service data unit (SDU) for the MAC PDU does not exist, and the MAC PDU includes only a padding buffer status report (BSR).
