METHODS TO COMPUTE A SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO ESTIMATE FOR A TRANSPORT BLOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17840378 titled 'METHODS TO COMPUTE A SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO ESTIMATE FOR A TRANSPORT BLOCK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on a user equipment (UE) monitoring for a downlink transmission from a network device, which includes a set of parity bits. The UE determines the number of parity checks that either failed or passed the parity check procedure. Based on this monitoring and the number of parity checks, the UE identifies a feedback status indicator for the downlink transmission. The UE then transmits a feedback message that includes the feedback status indicator and additional information based on the number of parity checks.

Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including cellular networks and Wi-Fi networks. It can improve the reliability and efficiency of downlink transmissions, leading to better overall network performance.
Problems Solved
1. Parity checks are used to detect errors in data transmission, but determining the status of parity checks can be complex and time-consuming. 2. Without an efficient feedback mechanism, network devices may not be able to optimize their transmission strategies based on the performance of the downlink transmission.
Benefits
1. Improved reliability: By monitoring and analyzing the parity checks, the UE can provide accurate feedback on the downlink transmission, allowing network devices to take appropriate actions to improve reliability. 2. Enhanced efficiency: The additional information transmitted in the feedback message can help network devices optimize their transmission strategies, leading to more efficient use of network resources. 3. Reduced latency: The feedback status indicator allows for quick identification of transmission issues, enabling prompt corrective actions to minimize latency in data transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor for a downlink transmission from a network device, the downlink transmission comprising a set of parity bits. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the monitoring, a number of parity checks of the set of parity bits that either failed a parity check procedure or satisfied the parity check procedure. The UE may identify, based at least in part on the monitoring and the number of parity checks, a feedback status indicator for the downlink transmission. The UE may transmit a feedback message that includes the feedback status indicator and additional information based at least in part on the number of parity checks.
