METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SWITCHING DUPLEX MODE DURING RANDOM ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931877 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SWITCHING DUPLEX MODE DURING RANDOM ACCESS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for switching duplex mode during random access (RA) in a cellular network. It focuses on the operation of user equipment (UE) and its capability to transmit and receive data in different duplex modes.

  • The UE receives a system information block (SIB) from a cell, which provides information about the slots configuration for transmissions and receptions in a half-duplex mode, as well as details about the random access procedure.
  • The UE determines its own capability to transmit and receive data in a full-duplex mode.
  • Based on the random access procedure and the initial slots configuration, the UE decides on the transmission of a channel, which includes information about its full-duplex capability.
  • The UE then receives information about a second configuration of slots for transmissions and receptions in the full-duplex mode.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Cellular networks: This innovation can be applied in cellular networks to improve the efficiency and flexibility of data transmission and reception by allowing UEs to switch between half-duplex and full-duplex modes during random access procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Duplex mode switching: The patent application addresses the problem of efficiently switching between half-duplex and full-duplex modes during random access procedures, ensuring that UEs can adapt to different network conditions and optimize their data transmission and reception capabilities.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: By allowing UEs to switch between half-duplex and full-duplex modes, the technology enables more efficient use of network resources and enhances the overall performance of cellular networks.
  • Flexibility: UEs can adapt to different network conditions and choose the most suitable duplex mode for their data transmission and reception needs, resulting in improved reliability and quality of service.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for switching duplex mode during random access (RA). A method for operating a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a system information block (SIB) for a cell that provides information for a first configuration of slots for transmissions or receptions in a half-duplex mode and a random access (RA) procedure, determining a UE capability for transmitting and receiving in a full-duplex mode, and determining a transmission of a channel based on the RA procedure and the first configuration of slots. The method further includes transmitting the channel including information of the UE capability using the RA procedure and receiving information for a second configuration of slots for transmissions or receptions in the full-duplex mode.
