Uplink Latency Enhancements - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933918 titled 'Uplink Latency Enhancements
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a user equipment (UE) that can receive multiple scheduling request (SR) configurations, each specific to an application, service, quality of service (QoS) flow, or set of traffic characteristics. The UE transmits a first type of SR, receives an initial uplink grant for data transmission in response to the first type of SR, and the grant indicates the uplink resources assigned to the UE based on the specific SR configuration.
- Explanation of the patent:
- The UE can receive different SR configurations tailored to specific applications, services, QoS flows, or traffic characteristics.
- It transmits a specific type of SR based on the received configuration.
- Upon transmitting the SR, the UE receives an initial uplink grant indicating the assigned uplink resources for data transmission.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in: - Wireless communication systems - Network optimization for different types of data traffic - QoS management in mobile networks
Problems Solved
- Efficient resource allocation for diverse applications and services - Improved QoS for different types of data flows - Enhanced network performance and user experience
Benefits
- Customized resource allocation based on specific SR configurations - Better management of network resources - Enhanced user satisfaction with improved QoS
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing network resources for: - Video streaming services - Online gaming applications - IoT devices with varying traffic characteristics
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the concept of dynamic resource allocation in wireless networks based on specific data traffic requirements. This technology builds upon existing methods by tailoring resource allocation to individual SR configurations.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?
This article does not address the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of mobile devices. It would be interesting to know if the customized resource allocation based on specific SR configurations has any effect on power consumption.
What are the security implications of transmitting different types of SRs in wireless networks?
The abstract does not discuss the security aspects of transmitting multiple types of SRs in wireless networks. It would be important to understand how this technology ensures the secure transmission of scheduling requests and uplink grants.
Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment (UE) configured to receive multiple scheduling request (SR) configurations, wherein each SR configuration is specific to an application, service, quality of service (QoS) flow or set of traffic characteristics, transmit a first type of SR, wherein a plurality of different types of SRs comprising at least the first type of SR and a second type of SR each correspond to a different one of the multiple SR configurations and receive an initial uplink grant for a data transmission in response to the first type of SR, wherein the initial uplink grant indicates one or more uplink resources assigned to the UE by a network based on an application, service, quality of service (QoS) flow or set of traffic characteristics specific to the first type of SR.
