SUPER-SLOT FORMAT FOR HALF DUPLEX (HD) FREQUENCY-DIVISION DUPLEX (FDD) (HD-FDD) IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17911991 titled 'SUPER-SLOT FORMAT FOR HALF DUPLEX (HD) FREQUENCY-DIVISION DUPLEX (FDD) (HD-FDD) IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes the use of super-slot formats for wireless communication using half duplex frequency-division duplex (HD-FDD). A super-slot is a longer duration slot that can include both uplink and downlink symbols, with a guard period separating them. The super-slot also supports signal repetition and frequency hopping for coverage enhancement and diversity gain.

• Wireless devices can use super-slot formats for HD-FDD wireless communication.
• A super-slot is a longer duration slot that can include uplink and downlink symbols.
• A guard period separates uplink symbols from downlink symbols within a super-slot.
• Signal repetition can be used in a super-slot to enhance coverage.
• Frequency hopping can be combined with signal repetition in a super-slot to provide diversity gain.

Potential Applications

• Wireless communication systems using HD-FDD can benefit from the use of super-slot formats.
• This technology can be applied in various wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.
• It can be used in both urban and rural areas to improve wireless communication performance.

Problems Solved

• The use of super-slot formats solves the problem of efficient wireless communication in HD-FDD systems.
• It addresses the need for improved coverage and diversity gain in wireless communication.
• The guard period within a super-slot helps in separating uplink and downlink symbols, reducing interference.

Benefits

• The use of super-slot formats allows for more efficient use of wireless spectrum in HD-FDD systems.
• Signal repetition and frequency hopping in a super-slot enhance coverage and provide diversity gain.
• This technology improves the overall performance and reliability of wireless communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

Wireless devices can use various super-slot formats to facilitate wireless communication using half duplex (HD) frequency-division duplex (FDD) (HD-FDD). A super-slot has a duration that can span over multiple slots and/or subframes. A super-slot can include uplink symbols and downlink symbols. The super-slot can include a guard period that separates uplink symbols from downlink symbols in the same super-slot. A super-slot can support signal repetition to provide coverage enhancement. Signal repetition can be combined with frequency hopping in a super-slot to provide diversity gain.
