DISTANCE-BASED CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME (COT) SHARING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17906605 titled 'DISTANCE-BASED CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME (COT) SHARING

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a system for sharing channel occupancy time (COT) between two devices based on their distance and power metric of communications. Here are the key points:

  • The first device, such as a user equipment (UE), determines the approximate distance between itself and a second device.
  • The first device receives a COT sharing configuration that includes a set of parameters for sharing COT with the second device based on the distance between them.
  • The first device determines conditions for sharing COT based on the COT sharing configuration and the approximate distance between the two devices.
  • Alternatively, the first device can also consider the power metric of communications between the two devices when determining the conditions for sharing COT.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems: This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to efficiently allocate channel occupancy time between devices based on their distance and power metric.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): IoT devices often need to share communication resources. This technology can help optimize the sharing of channel occupancy time among IoT devices based on their proximity and power metrics.
  • Mobile networks: In mobile networks, where multiple devices are connected, this technology can improve the allocation of channel occupancy time to ensure efficient and fair communication.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient resource allocation: By considering the distance and power metric, this technology enables more efficient sharing of channel occupancy time, ensuring that devices closer to each other have better access to the communication channel.
  • Fairness in resource sharing: The system takes into account the distance and power metric to allocate channel occupancy time in a fair manner, ensuring that all devices have a fair chance of accessing the communication channel.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved communication efficiency: By optimizing the sharing of channel occupancy time based on distance and power metric, this technology improves the overall efficiency of communication systems.
  • Enhanced fairness: The system ensures fair allocation of channel occupancy time, giving all devices equal opportunities to access the communication channel.
  • Better utilization of resources: By dynamically adjusting the sharing of channel occupancy time based on distance and power metric, this technology maximizes the utilization of communication resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for distance-based channel occupancy time (COT) sharing. In one aspect, a first device, such as a user equipment (UE), may determine an approximate distance between itself and a second device. The first device may receive a COT sharing configuration including a set of COT sharing parameters for sharing a COT of the communications link with the second device based on the distance between the two devices. The first device may determine conditions for sharing the COT based on the COT sharing configuration and the approximate distance between the two devices. Additionally, or alternatively, the first device may determine conditions for sharing the COT based on the COT sharing configuration and a power metric of communications between the two devices.
