NON-CONTIGUOUS RESOURCE BLOCKS FOR BANDWIDTH PART CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17886408 titled 'NON-CONTIGUOUS RESOURCE BLOCKS FOR BANDWIDTH PART CONFIGURATION
Simplified Explanation
- Wireless communications systems may implement control signaling to configure a user equipment (UE) to communicate in a subband full-duplex (SBFD) mode. - An SBFD mode may include a non-contiguous bandwidth part (BWP), with control signaling indicating the resource blocks (RB) included in the non-contiguous BWP. - The non-contiguous BWP may be for communications between the UE and the network in one communications direction (e.g., uplink or downlink), with another BWP configured for communications in the other direction. - The non-contiguous BWP may consist of two subbands, with the other BWP positioned between the two subbands in the frequency domain. - The network may configure a BWP time domain switching pattern to switch between SBFD and half-duplex modes according to a predefined pattern.
Potential Applications
- Next-generation wireless communication systems - Improving spectral efficiency in wireless networks - Enhancing communication reliability and performance
Problems Solved
- Addressing interference issues in wireless communications - Optimizing spectrum utilization - Enabling simultaneous transmission and reception in the same frequency band
Benefits
- Increased data throughput - Enhanced network capacity - Improved quality of service for users
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Example wireless communications systems may implement control signaling configuring a user equipment (UE) to communicate in a subband full-duplex (SBFD) mode. An SBFD mode may include a non-contiguous bandwidth part (BWP), and control signaling may indicate the resource blocks (RB)s included in the non-contiguous BWP. In some cases, the non-contiguous BWP may be for communications between the UE and the network in one communications direction (e.g., uplink or downlink), and another BWP may be configured for communications between the UE and the network in the other communications direction. The non-contiguous BWP may include two subbands, and the other BWP may be non-overlapping with (e.g., positioned between) the two subbands in the frequency domain. The network may configure a BWP time domain switching pattern (e.g., switching between SBFD and half-duplex modes according to a BWP time domain switching pattern).
