CONFIGURING UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL SPATIAL RELATION INFORMATION FOR UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17389177 titled 'CONFIGURING UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL SPATIAL RELATION INFORMATION FOR UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces a technique for scheduling uplink control channel repetitions for a user equipment (UE) on multiple component carriers (CCs). The UE determines spatial relation information to apply to each uplink control channel repetition based on a rule, which can specify either the same spatial relation information for all repetitions or different spatial relation information for each repetition.

  • The UE can use spatial relation information from a first uplink control channel repetition.
  • The base station can indicate different spatial relation information for each uplink control channel repetition in control signaling.
  • The UE transmits the uplink control channel repetitions using the determined spatial relation information.

Potential Applications

This technology can have various applications in wireless communications, including:

  • Improving the efficiency and reliability of uplink control channel transmissions.
  • Enhancing the performance of user equipment in multi-carrier wireless networks.
  • Optimizing the allocation of resources in wireless communication systems.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses several challenges and problems in wireless communications, such as:

  • Ensuring effective transmission of uplink control channel repetitions on multiple component carriers.
  • Managing spatial relation information for each repetition to optimize system performance.
  • Providing flexibility in determining and applying spatial relation information based on specific rules.

Benefits

The use of this technology offers several benefits in wireless communications:

  • Improved reliability and efficiency of uplink control channel transmissions.
  • Enhanced performance and capacity of user equipment in multi-carrier networks.
  • Increased flexibility in managing and optimizing resource allocation in wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may schedule uplink control channel repetitions for a user equipment (UE) on multiple component carriers (CCs). The UE may determine spatial relation information to apply to each uplink control channel repetition based on a rule, where the rule specifies for the UE to apply same spatial relation information to the repetitions or different spatial relation information to the repetitions. In some cases, the UE may use spatial relation information from a first uplink control channel repetition (e.g., per-frequency band, per-CC subgroup, or for each of the uplink control channel repetitions). In some other cases, the base station may indicate different spatial relation information for each uplink control channel repetition in control signaling. The UE may transmit the uplink control channel repetitions using the spatial relation information.
