TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL FOR SIDELINK GROUPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17391437 titled 'TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL FOR SIDELINK GROUPS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a system for wireless communication that allows control of transmit power for groups of user equipment (UE) sidelinks using a single control transmission. Here are the key points:

  • The system enables a first UE to transmit group transmit power control (TPC) information to multiple groups of UEs.
  • The group TPC information is included in sidelink control information (SCI) and consists of a group TPC indicator and one or more TPC messages.
  • The TPC messages provide group TPC commands for power control of sidelinks in each group.
  • These commands allow for power control on one or more channels for each group of UEs.
  • The system provides a more efficient and simplified way to control transmit power for multiple groups of UEs.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems that require power control for multiple groups of user equipment.
  • Internet of Things (IoT) networks where multiple devices need to be controlled and managed efficiently.
  • Cellular networks that need to optimize power usage and manage interference between different groups of UEs.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the control of transmit power for multiple groups of UEs by using a single control transmission.
  • Reduces the complexity and overhead of managing power control for different groups of UEs.
  • Improves the efficiency and performance of wireless communication systems by optimizing power usage and reducing interference.

Benefits of this technology:

  • More efficient power control for multiple groups of UEs, leading to better overall system performance.
  • Simplified management of power control, reducing complexity and overhead.
  • Improved power usage optimization, resulting in energy savings and extended battery life for UEs.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support controlling transmit power of one or more groups of user equipment (UE) sidelinks using a single sidelink control transmission of group transmit power control (TPC) information. A first UE may transmit group TPC information to one or more groups of UEs, such as by including the group TPC information in sidelink control information (SCI). The group TPC information may include a group TPC indicator and one or more TPC messages for providing one or more group TPC commands with respect to groups of sidelinks. The group TPC commands may provide for power control with respect to a respective group of UEs for one or more channels. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
