NETWORK INDICATION OF MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) CONTROL ELEMENT (CE) ASSEMBLY RULES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17876357 titled 'NETWORK INDICATION OF MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL (MAC) CONTROL ELEMENT (CE) ASSEMBLY RULES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) that involves receiving a message from a network node indicating an update to a current truncated medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) assembly procedure at the UE. The update can include a change in a buffer status report (BSR) priority assigned to one or more BSRs associated with logical channel groups (LCGs) or a change in a MAC-CE threshold size. The method also involves assembling a truncated MAC-CE based on the update and transmitting it to the network node via a transport block.

  • The method involves receiving an update message from a network node regarding the assembly procedure of a truncated MAC-CE at a user equipment (UE).
  • The update can include changes in BSR priority or MAC-CE threshold size.
  • The method includes assembling a truncated MAC-CE based on the received update.
  • The assembled truncated MAC-CE is then transmitted to the network node via a transport block.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems and networks
  • Mobile devices and smartphones
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and optimized wireless communication between network nodes and user equipment
  • Improved management of buffer status reports and logical channel groups
  • Enhanced control and coordination of medium access control procedures

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved data transmission efficiency and reliability
  • Enhanced network performance and resource allocation
  • Better utilization of buffer resources and prioritization of data traffic


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising: receiving, from a network node, a message indicating an update to a current truncated medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE) assembly procedure at the UE. The update may include one or both of a change in a buffer status report (BSR) priority assigned to one or more BSRs associated with one or more logical channel groups (LCGs) of a group of LCGs or a change in a MAC-CE threshold size. The method also includes assembling a truncated MAC-CE based on the update to the current truncated MAC-CE assembly procedure. The method further includes transmitting, to the network node via a transport block, the truncated MAC-CE.
