APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION IN FRAME-BASED EQUIPMENT (FBE) OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17766886 titled 'APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION IN FRAME-BASED EQUIPMENT (FBE) OPERATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method executed by a User Equipment (UE) operating in a Frame-Based Equipment (FBE) mode, involving determining fixed frame periods for uplink transmissions on an unlicensed band, performing a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure, and transmitting data to the cell when the channel is clear.
- Determining starting time and periodicity of Fixed Frame Periods (FFP) for uplink transmissions on an unlicensed band
- Performing a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure on the operating channel to check for clear transmission
- Transmitting data to the cell using a specific uplink resource in response to the LBT procedure indicating channel clearance
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems that utilize unlicensed bands for data transmission.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient utilization of unlicensed bands for uplink transmissions 2. Minimizing interference and collisions in wireless communication systems
Benefits
1. Improved reliability and performance of uplink transmissions 2. Enhanced spectrum efficiency in unlicensed bands
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing uplink transmissions in IoT devices Enhancing data transfer speeds in Wi-Fi networks
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include methods for managing uplink transmissions in wireless communication systems, such as dynamic channel selection and interference avoidance techniques.
Unanswered Questions
How does this method impact battery life in User Equipment (UE)?
The abstract does not provide information on the potential impact of this method on the battery life of User Equipment. It would be interesting to know if the Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure or the specific uplink resource selection has any effect on power consumption.
Are there any regulatory considerations for using unlicensed bands in different regions?
The abstract does not mention any regulatory aspects related to operating in unlicensed bands. It would be important to understand if there are any specific regulations or requirements that need to be considered when implementing this method in different countries or regions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method executed by a User Equipment (UE) operating in a Frame-Based Equipment (FBE) mode is provided. The method includes the following steps: determining a starting time and a periodicity of a first Fixed Frame Period (FFP) of a cell on an operating channel of an unlicensed band; determining a starting time and a periodicity of a second FFP for initiating an uplink transmission to the cell; performing a Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) procedure on the operating channel of the unlicensed band; and performing the uplink transmission to the cell using a first uplink resource in the second FFP in response to the LBT procedure indicating that the operating channel of the unlicensed band is clear.
