WIRELESS COMMUNICATION UPLINK PRESCHEDULING WITH GUARANTEES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17917348 titled 'WIRELESS COMMUNICATION UPLINK PRESCHEDULING WITH GUARANTEES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method implemented in a network node for scheduling uplink communications from a wireless device. The method involves receiving UL responses from the wireless device, determining the type of each UL response (regular or wasted UL grant), and calculating a UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter based on the determined type. The method also includes the optional step of performing UL scheduling of the wireless device based on the updated UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter.

  • The method is implemented in a network node for scheduling uplink communications from a wireless device.
  • UL responses are received from the wireless device.
  • The type of each UL response is determined based on its contents, including regular UL grants and wasted UL grants.
  • A UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter is calculated for each UL response based on its type.
  • The UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter is used to control the UL scheduling of the wireless device.
  • Optional step: UL scheduling of the wireless device is performed based on the updated UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be used in wireless communication networks to efficiently schedule uplink communications from wireless devices.
  • It can be applied in various industries that rely on wireless communication, such as telecommunications, IoT, and mobile computing.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of effectively scheduling uplink communications from wireless devices in a network node.
  • It addresses the issue of distinguishing between regular UL grants and wasted UL grants to optimize UL scheduling.

Benefits

  • The method improves the efficiency of uplink communications by determining the type of UL grants and adjusting the UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter accordingly.
  • It helps in reducing wasted UL grants and optimizing the UL scheduling process.
  • By improving the scheduling of uplink communications, it can enhance the overall performance and reliability of wireless communication networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method implemented in a network node for scheduling uplink communications from a wireless device is provided. The method includes receiving, at the network node from a WD, a plurality of UL responses associated with UL scheduling. For each received UL response from the plurality of UL responses, a type of the received UL response is determined based at least in part on contents of the received UL response, including a regular UL grant and a wasted UL grant. For each received UL response from the plurality of UL responses, a UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter to control UL scheduling of the WD is determined. The UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter is based at least in part on the determined type of UL response. The method includes, optionally, performing UL scheduling of the WD based on the updated UL scheduling aggressiveness parameter.
