ENERGY DETECTION THRESHOLD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17922170 titled 'ENERGY DETECTION THRESHOLD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for a wireless communication device to select an energy detection (ED) threshold for transmission on a wireless communication channel using a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure. The selection of the ED threshold is based on factors such as the priority of traffic and the type of grant that scheduled the transmission.
- The wireless communication device (e.g., user equipment) selects an ED threshold for transmission on a wireless communication channel.
- The selection is based on the priority of traffic to be transmitted during the listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure.
- The base station (e.g., gNB) may indicate a priority for uplink traffic, and the device selects the ED threshold accordingly.
- The device may also consider the type of grant (dynamic or configured) that scheduled the transmission and select the ED threshold accordingly.
- The base station can provide information to the device indicating the ED threshold to be used for different priorities and types of grants.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication devices, such as user equipment (UE), can benefit from improved selection of energy detection (ED) thresholds for transmission on wireless communication channels.
- This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and other wireless communication networks.
- It can enhance the efficiency and reliability of wireless transmissions by optimizing the ED threshold selection based on traffic priority and grant type.
Problems Solved
- In wireless communication systems, it is crucial to select an appropriate ED threshold for transmission to avoid interference with other devices.
- The existing techniques may not consider factors such as traffic priority and grant type when selecting the ED threshold, leading to suboptimal performance.
- This technology solves the problem by enabling the wireless communication device to select the ED threshold based on the priority of traffic and the type of grant, improving the overall performance and reliability of the system.
Benefits
- Improved efficiency: By selecting the ED threshold based on traffic priority and grant type, the wireless communication device can optimize its transmissions, leading to improved efficiency in utilizing the wireless communication channel.
- Enhanced reliability: The selection of an appropriate ED threshold reduces the chances of interference with other devices, improving the reliability of wireless transmissions.
- Flexibility: The base station can provide information to the device indicating the ED threshold for different priorities and grant types, allowing for flexibility in adapting to different network conditions and requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for enabling a wireless communication device (e.g., a user equipment, UE) to select an energy detection (ED) threshold for a transmission on a wireless communication channel where access to the channel is gained through the use of a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure. In some examples, a UE may select the ED threshold based on the priority of traffic to be transmitted during the COT. For example, a base station (e.g., gNB) may indicate a priority for uplink traffic and the UE may select an ED threshold based on that priority. In some examples, the UE may select the ED threshold based on the type of grant (e.g., dynamic grant or configured grant) that scheduled the transmission of uplink traffic during the COT. In some examples, the gNB may send information to the UE that indicates the ED threshold to be used for different priorities and/or different types of grants.
