TECHNIQUES FOR DYNAMIC SPECTRUM SHARING ACROSS RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17876390 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR DYNAMIC SPECTRUM SHARING ACROSS RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The invention focuses on enabling dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) between two different radio access technologies (RATs) to efficiently utilize shared resources.

• The user equipment (UE) receives control signaling that includes a DSS configuration for a shared data channel, using a set of resources shared between the first RAT and the second RAT.
• The UE receives indicators associated with the first RAT, the second RAT, or both, to coordinate communications for the shared set of resources.
• Based on applying one or more of the indicators, the UE communicates with the network using either the first RAT or the second RAT.
• The UE transmits UE capability information to indicate whether it is capable of DSS for both the first RAT and the second RAT.
• The UE may apply one or more multiplexing modes for communications using the first RAT and the second RAT.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Improved spectrum utilization: By enabling DSS between different RATs, the available spectrum can be efficiently utilized, leading to increased capacity and improved network performance.
• Seamless connectivity: The ability to switch between different RATs based on indicators allows for seamless connectivity, ensuring uninterrupted communication for the UE.
• Enhanced network flexibility: The dynamic spectrum sharing configuration enables networks to adapt to changing traffic demands and optimize resource allocation.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Spectrum scarcity: With the increasing demand for wireless communication, spectrum scarcity has become a significant challenge. DSS helps address this issue by allowing multiple RATs to share the same spectrum.
• Interference mitigation: By coordinating communications and applying multiplexing modes, interference between different RATs can be minimized, leading to improved network performance and user experience.

Benefits of this technology:

• Increased network capacity: DSS enables efficient spectrum utilization, allowing for more users and higher data rates within the available spectrum.
• Seamless connectivity: The ability to switch between RATs based on indicators ensures uninterrupted connectivity, even in areas with varying network coverage.
• Improved network performance: By mitigating interference and optimizing resource allocation, DSS enhances network performance, leading to better quality of service for users.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, using a set of resources that are shared between a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, control signaling that includes a dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) configuration for a shared data channel. The UE may receive one or more indicators associated with the first RAT, the second RAT, or both, to coordinate communications for the shared set of resources. The UE may communicate with the network using the first RAT or the second RAT based on applying one or more of the indicators. To further support DSS, the UE may transmit UE capability information to indicate whether the UE is capable of DSS for the first RAT and the second RAT, and may apply one or more multiplexing modes for communications using the first RAT and the second RAT.
