AUTONOMOUS CO-CHANNEL OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17392197 titled 'AUTONOMOUS CO-CHANNEL OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on a user equipment (UE) estimating channel availability parameter values and selecting a pattern of sidelink resources for transmitting NR packets based on these values.

  • The UE estimates channel availability parameter values.
  • Based on a co-channel configuration, the UE selects a pattern of sidelink resources for transmitting NR packets.
  • A special UE receives reports of channel availability parameter values from other UEs.
  • The special UE selects a pattern of sidelink resources for one of the reporting UEs.
  • The special UE transmits a message activating the selected pattern of sidelink resources to the reporting UE.
  • The reporting UE uses the activated sidelink LTE resources to transmit NR packets according to the indicated pattern.

Potential Applications

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

  • Improving the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems.
  • Enhancing the performance of user equipment in selecting appropriate resources for transmitting NR packets.
  • Enabling better coordination and utilization of sidelink resources in LTE networks.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses several problems in wireless communications:

  • Efficiently estimating channel availability parameter values to optimize resource allocation.
  • Selecting appropriate patterns of sidelink resources for transmitting NR packets based on channel availability.
  • Coordinating and managing the use of sidelink resources among different user equipment.

Benefits

The technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved reliability and performance of wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced resource allocation and utilization for transmitting NR packets.
  • Better coordination and management of sidelink resources in LTE networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may estimate one or more channel availability parameter values. The UE may then select, based on a co-channel configuration indicating a relationship between channel availability parameter values and patterns of sidelink resources, a pattern of sidelink resources (e.g., LTE resources) on which to transmit NR packets. In some examples, a special UE may receive individual or aggregated reports of channel availability parameter values. The special UE may select a pattern of sidelink resources (e.g., LTE resources) on which one of the reporting UEs is permitted to transmit NR packets, and may transmit a message activating the pattern of sidelink resources to the reporting UE. The reporting UE may then use the activated sidelink LTE resources for transmitting NR packets according to the indicated pattern.
