Simultaneous PUCCH and PUSCH Transmissions Over Different Component Carriers for New Radio - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17754447 titled 'Simultaneous PUCCH and PUSCH Transmissions Over Different Component Carriers for New Radio

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that is capable of receiving phase tracking-reference signals (PT-RS) and inserting them into physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signals. The UE receives configuration information related to the insertion of PT-RS into the PUCCH signal, generates a first signal with one or more PT-RS to be transmitted over the PUCCH, and transmits the first signal. Additionally, the UE may generate a second signal with one or more PT-RS to be transmitted over the PUSCH, based on configuration information associated with PT-RS insertion into the PUSCH signal, and transmits the second signal. Both PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions are performed simultaneously over different component carriers (CCs).

• The UE is configured to receive phase tracking-reference signals (PT-RS).
• Configuration information is received by the UE for inserting PT-RS into the PUCCH signal.
• The UE generates a first signal with one or more PT-RS to be transmitted over the PUCCH.
• The UE can also generate a second signal with one or more PT-RS to be transmitted over the PUSCH.
• Configuration information is provided for inserting PT-RS into the PUSCH signal.
• The first and second signals are transmitted simultaneously over different component carriers (CCs).

Potential applications of this technology:

• This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems that utilize PUCCH and PUSCH signals.
• It can improve the accuracy and reliability of phase tracking in the uplink transmission.

Problems solved by this technology:

• The insertion of PT-RS into PUCCH and PUSCH signals helps in accurately tracking the phase of the transmitted signals.
• Simultaneous transmission over different component carriers allows for efficient utilization of the available spectrum.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved phase tracking enhances the overall performance and reliability of the wireless communication system.
• Simultaneous transmission over different component carriers increases the capacity and efficiency of the system.
• The technology enables better synchronization and coordination between the UE and the network.

Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) is configured to received phase tracking-reference signals (PT-RS). The UE receives configuration information associated with inserting phase tracking-reference signals (PT-RS) into a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) signal, generates a first signal that is to be transmitted over the PUCCH and is configured to include one or more PT-RS and transmits the first signal over the PUCCH. The UE may also generate a second signal that is to be transmitted over the PUSCH and is configured to include one or more PT-RS, wherein the configuration information further comprises configuration information associated with inserting PT-RS into a physical uplink control (PUSCH) signal and transmit the second signal over the PUSCH, wherein the PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions are performed simultaneously over different component carriers (CCs).
