TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING AND UPDATING TRANSMISSION OCCASIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17386221 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING AND UPDATING TRANSMISSION OCCASIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication. It introduces the concept of operating in a full-duplex mode, where both the user equipment (UE) and the base station can transmit and receive data simultaneously.
- The UE or base station can indicate that a transmission occasion is empty in full-duplex mode.
- The UE can inform the base station that it will not use a specific uplink transmission occasion for transmitting data.
- The base station can inform the UE that it will not use a specific downlink transmission occasion for transmitting data.
- If there are empty transmission occasions, both the UE and base station can update their parameters to operate in a half-duplex mode.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and other wireless communication networks.
- It can improve the efficiency and capacity of wireless communication by utilizing full-duplex and half-duplex modes based on the availability of transmission occasions.
Problems Solved
- Traditional wireless communication systems often operate in half-duplex mode, where data transmission and reception cannot occur simultaneously.
- This technology solves the problem of inefficient use of transmission occasions by allowing devices to indicate when a transmission occasion is empty and update their operation mode accordingly.
Benefits
- By operating in full-duplex mode when transmission occasions are not empty, the capacity and throughput of wireless communication systems can be significantly increased.
- The ability to switch between full-duplex and half-duplex modes based on the availability of transmission occasions allows for more efficient use of resources.
- This technology can improve the overall performance and user experience in wireless communication networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) or a base station may be configured to indicate that a transmission occasion is empty while operating in a full-duplex mode. In some examples, the UE may transmit, to the base station, an indication that an uplink transmission occasion (for example, a configured grant transmission occasion) will not be used by the UE for transmitting an uplink communication. In some other examples, the base station may transmit, to the UE, an indication a downlink transmission occasion (for example, semi-persistent scheduling transmission occasion) will not be used by the base station for transmitting a downlink communication. If uplink or downlink transmission occasions are empty, the UE and the base station may each update parameters to operate in a half-duplex mode.
