MULTIPLEXING AND PRIORITIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR UPLINK SIGNALING AND NON-SERVING CELL SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17878731 titled 'MULTIPLEXING AND PRIORITIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR UPLINK SIGNALING AND NON-SERVING CELL SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNALS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes systems, methods, and apparatus for multiplexing and prioritization techniques for uplink signaling and non-serving cell synchronization signals. It introduces a prioritization rule that allows a user equipment (UE) and a network entity to enable uplink multiplexing with a set of non-serving cell synchronization signal blocks (SSBs). The UE can prioritize either the uplink signal or the set of non-serving cell SSBs based on the prioritization rule. The rule may be associated with a scheduling offset of the uplink signal or whether the set of non-serving cell SSBs are indicated for measurement at the UE.

  • The patent application introduces a prioritization rule for uplink multiplexing with non-serving cell SSBs.
  • The UE and network entity can prioritize either the uplink signal or the set of non-serving cell SSBs based on the rule.
  • The rule may be associated with a scheduling offset of the uplink signal or whether the SSBs are indicated for measurement at the UE.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency in uplink signaling and non-serving cell synchronization.
  • Enhanced prioritization capabilities for UE and network entities.
  • Better management of resources in wireless communication systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overlapping uplink signals and non-serving cell SSBs can cause interference and reduce system performance. The prioritization rule helps mitigate this issue.
  • Prioritizing certain signals or SSBs allows for more efficient resource allocation and utilization.
  • The technology addresses the challenge of coordinating and managing multiple signals in wireless communication systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased system performance and capacity by minimizing interference between uplink signals and non-serving cell SSBs.
  • Improved reliability and accuracy of synchronization signals for non-serving cells.
  • Enhanced flexibility and control in managing uplink signaling and non-serving cell synchronization.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for multiplexing and prioritization techniques for uplink signaling and non-serving cell synchronization signals. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) and a network entity may support a prioritization rule according to which the UE and the network entity may enable uplink multiplexing with a set of non-serving cell synchronization signal blocks (SSBs). For example, an uplink signal and a set of non-serving cell SSBs may be scheduled for the UE and may at least partially overlap in time and the UE may prioritize one of the uplink signal or the set of non-serving cell SSBs in accordance with the prioritization rule. The prioritization rule may be associated with a scheduling offset of the uplink signal or may be associated with whether the set of non-serving cell SSBs are indicated for measurement at the UE.
