VARIABLE DUTY CYCLE FOR POWER CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17766474 titled 'VARIABLE DUTY CYCLE FOR POWER CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a user equipment (UE) served by a radio access network (RAN) by determining an uplink duty cycle and selecting a peak uplink power level in response to the duty cycle.

  • The method involves determining an aggregate uplink duty cycle based on scheduled uplink time intervals across multiple component carriers.
  • It also includes selecting a peak uplink transmission power level for transmitting uplink signals on the component carriers in response to the determined aggregate uplink duty cycle.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the telecommunications industry for optimizing uplink transmission power levels based on duty cycles, leading to improved network efficiency and performance.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient management of uplink transmission power levels based on duty cycles. 2. Optimization of uplink signal transmission across multiple component carriers.

Benefits

1. Enhanced network performance. 2. Improved power efficiency. 3. Better utilization of resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing uplink transmission power levels in telecommunications networks can lead to cost savings, improved user experience, and increased network capacity, making this technology valuable for network operators.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be methods for power control in wireless communication systems, where power levels are adjusted based on channel conditions and network requirements.

What are the potential impacts of this technology on network efficiency and performance?

This technology could significantly improve network efficiency by optimizing uplink transmission power levels based on duty cycles, leading to better resource utilization and overall network performance.

How does this method compare to existing techniques for managing uplink transmission power levels in wireless communication systems?

This method offers a more sophisticated approach by considering the aggregate uplink duty cycle across multiple component carriers, allowing for more precise and efficient power level selection for uplink transmissions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a user equipment, UE, that is served by a radio access network, RAN, includes determining an uplink duty cycle for uplink transmission by the UE to the RAN, and selecting a peak uplink power level in response to the determined uplink duty cycle. A method of operating a UE according to some embodiments that communicates with a RAN via a plurality of component carriers includes determining an aggregate uplink duty cycle based on scheduled uplink time intervals across the plurality of component carriers, and selecting a peak uplink transmission power level for transmitting uplink signals on the plurality of component carriers in response to the determined aggregate uplink duty cycle.
