METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REPEATEDLY TRANSMITTING UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL IN WIRELESS CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17778948 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REPEATEDLY TRANSMITTING UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL IN WIRELESS CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a communication technique that combines IoT technology with a 5G communication system to enable higher data transmission rates compared to 4G systems. This technique can be applied to various intelligent services such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security, and safety-related services.

  • The invention is a method performed by a terminal of a communication system.
  • The method involves receiving physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) setting information from a base station.
  • The method also involves receiving a downlink control channel (DCI) that schedules downlink data from the base station.
  • The terminal further receives the downlink data.
  • The terminal repeatedly transmits hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the downlink data on the PUCCH to the base station.
  • The PUCCH setting information includes various parameters such as PUCCH formats, start symbols, numbers of PUCCH symbols, and the total number of slots or symbols for completing the PUCCH repetition.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smart homes: Enables seamless connectivity and communication between various IoT devices in a smart home.
  • Smart buildings: Facilitates efficient management and control of various systems in a smart building, such as lighting, HVAC, and security.
  • Smart cities: Supports the integration of IoT devices and sensors for improved city infrastructure, transportation, and public services.
  • Smart cars or connected cars: Enhances communication between vehicles and infrastructure for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving.
  • Healthcare: Enables remote patient monitoring, telemedicine, and efficient data transmission for medical devices.
  • Digital education: Facilitates interactive and immersive learning experiences through IoT-enabled devices and connectivity.
  • Retail business: Enhances inventory management, customer experience, and personalized marketing through IoT technology.
  • Security and safety-related services: Enables real-time monitoring, surveillance, and emergency response systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Higher data transmission rates: The combination of IoT technology and 5G communication systems allows for faster and more efficient data transmission compared to 4G systems.
  • Seamless connectivity: The method described in the patent application ensures reliable and continuous communication between IoT devices and the base station.
  • Efficient resource allocation: The PUCCH setting information allows for optimized allocation of resources for transmitting and receiving data.
  • Improved reliability: The use of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) ensures error-free transmission and reception of data.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster and more efficient data transmission: The combination of IoT and 5G technology enables higher data rates, reducing latency and improving overall performance.
  • Enhanced connectivity: The method ensures seamless connectivity between IoT devices and the base station, enabling real-time communication and data exchange.
  • Improved resource utilization: The optimized allocation of resources based on PUCCH setting information allows for efficient use of network resources.
  • Reliable data transmission: The use of HARQ-ACK information ensures reliable transmission and reception of data, minimizing errors and retransmissions.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that merges IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates than 4G systems, and a system for same. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The invention of the present disclosure is a method performed by a terminal of a communication system, the method being characterized by comprising receiving physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) setting information from a base station, receiving a downlink control channel (DCI) which schedules downlink data from the base station, receiving the downlink data, and repeatedly transmitting, to the base station, hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the downlink data on the PUCCH, wherein the PUCCH setting information includes at least one piece of information among a plurality of PUCCH formats for repeatedly transmitting the PUCCH, a set of one or more start symbols, a set of one or more numbers of PUCCH symbols, and the total number of slots or symbols for finishing the PUCCH repetition.
