Scheduling Request (SR) Enhancements for 5G Real-Time Extended Reality (XR) Services - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17882449 titled 'Scheduling Request (SR) Enhancements for 5G Real-Time Extended Reality (XR) Services
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that has a transceiver and a processor. The processor is designed to identify multiple data flows to be sent in an uplink direction and map a subset of these flows to a logical channel (LCH) from a set of LCHs. The processor also combines multiple scheduling requests (SRs) into an integrated SR to request physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources for each flow of the subset of flows on at least one LCH. Each SR in the integrated SR corresponds to a request for data associated with at least one flow.
- The patent application describes a user equipment that can efficiently manage and request resources for multiple data flows in an uplink direction.
- The processor in the user equipment identifies and maps a subset of the flows to a logical channel, simplifying the management of these flows.
- By multiplexing multiple scheduling requests into an integrated request, the user equipment can efficiently request physical uplink control channel resources for each flow.
- This technology allows for better resource allocation and management in the uplink direction, improving the overall performance of the user equipment.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile communication devices and networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices and networks
- Wireless communication systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient management and allocation of resources for multiple data flows in the uplink direction
- Simplified mapping of flows to logical channels
- Improved utilization of physical uplink control channel resources
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and efficiency of user equipment in the uplink direction
- Enhanced resource allocation and management capabilities
- Increased capacity and throughput in wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and a processor that is configured to identify a plurality of flows corresponding to data to be sent in an uplink (UL) direction. The processor is also configured to map a subset of the plurality of flows to a logical channel (LCH) of a plurality of LCHs. The processor is further configured to multiplex two or more scheduling requests (SRs) into an integrated SR for requesting one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources corresponding to each flow of the subset of the plurality of flows of at least one LCH of the plurality of LCHs. Each SR included in the integrated SR corresponds to an SR for the data associated with at least one flow of the subset of the plurality of flows.
