INDICATING NETWORK STATE VIA BANDWIDTH PART FRAMEWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933956 titled 'INDICATING NETWORK STATE VIA BANDWIDTH PART FRAMEWORK

Simplified Explanation

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may transmit, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, information that configures a periodic bandwidth part (BWP) switching pattern that indicates a sequence of BWPs, wherein each BWP in the sequence of BWPs is associated with a respective network state. The UE and the network node may communicate according to the periodic BWP switching pattern, wherein the UE and the network node may communicate by sequentially switching among the BWPs in the sequence of BWPs indicated in the periodic BWP switching pattern, wherein each BWP in the sequence of BWPs is associated with a configuration corresponding to the respective network state associated with the BWP. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Wireless communication technology involving periodic bandwidth part (BWP) switching patterns
  • Network node transmits information to UE indicating a sequence of BWPs associated with network states
  • UE and network node communicate by switching among BWPs in the sequence based on network states
  • Each BWP in the sequence has a configuration corresponding to the respective network state

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • 5G and beyond wireless communication systems
  • IoT devices requiring efficient bandwidth allocation
  • Mobile networks for seamless connectivity handover

Problems Solved

  • Efficient utilization of available bandwidth
  • Seamless communication handover between network states
  • Improved network performance and reliability

Benefits

  • Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted communication
  • Optimal bandwidth allocation for different network states
  • Increased network efficiency and capacity

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunication companies for improving network performance
  • IoT device manufacturers for efficient data transmission
  • Network infrastructure providers for enhancing connectivity services

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of dynamic bandwidth allocation techniques in wireless communication systems to optimize network performance and resource utilization.

=== What are the specific network states associated with each BWP in the sequence? The specific network states associated with each BWP in the sequence are configurations that determine the allocation of resources and parameters for communication within that particular bandwidth part.

=== How does the periodic BWP switching pattern improve network efficiency? The periodic BWP switching pattern allows for seamless communication handover between different network states, optimizing bandwidth allocation and resource utilization for improved network efficiency.
