METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BWP OPERATION BASED ON UE TYPE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17935858 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BWP OPERATION BASED ON UE TYPE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, specifically for a 5G or 6G system, to support higher data transmission rates. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves a UE identifying the initiation of a random access procedure on a serving cell.
  • The UE then selects an uplink (UL) carrier for the serving cell.
  • If the physical random access channel (PRACH) occasions are not configured for an active UL bandwidth part (BWP) of the selected UL carrier, the UE proceeds to the next step.
  • The UE identifies whether an initial UL BWP for a reduced capability (RedCap) UE is configured.
  • If the initial UL BWP for a RedCap UE is configured, the UE switches the active UL BWP to the initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in 5G or 6G communication systems to support higher data transmission rates.
  • It can improve the efficiency and reliability of random access procedures in wireless communication systems.
  • The method can be used by user equipment (UE) to optimize the selection of uplink carriers and UL bandwidth parts.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method addresses the issue of configuring the UL carrier and UL bandwidth part for a serving cell during a random access procedure.
  • It solves the problem of efficiently handling reduced capability (RedCap) UEs by switching to the appropriate initial UL BWP.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The technology enables higher data transmission rates in 5G or 6G communication systems.
  • It improves the overall performance and reliability of random access procedures.
  • The method optimizes the selection of UL carriers and UL bandwidth parts, leading to better resource allocation and utilization.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes identifying that a random access procedure is initiated on a serving cell, selecting an uplink (UL) carrier for the serving cell, in case that physical random access channel (PRACH) occasions are not configured for an active UL bandwidth part (BWP) of the selected UL carrier, identifying whether an initial UL BWP for a reduced capability (RedCap) UE is configured, and in case that the initial UL BWP for a RedCap UE is configured, switching the active UL BWP to the initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE.
