METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL IN WIRELESS CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17986346 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL IN WIRELESS CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for a terminal to perform PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) transmission in multiple slots. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves identifying information on the slots for PUCCH transmission via an RRC (Radio Resource Control) signal.
  • Information on the starting symbol and the PRB (Physical Resource Block) for the PUCCH transmission is obtained.
  • A slot index for the PUCCH transmission is identified.
  • Based on the information on the starting symbol, the PRB, and the slot index, the PUCCH transmission is performed in multiple slots.
  • Each slot includes at least four symbols for the PUCCH transmission.
  • The information on the starting symbol and the PRB is obtained using a combination of the RRC signal and physical signal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in wireless communication systems that use PUCCH for uplink control signaling.
  • It can be used in 4G (LTE) and 5G (NR) networks to improve the efficiency and reliability of uplink control channel transmission.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method provides a systematic approach to perform PUCCH transmission in multiple slots, ensuring accurate and efficient uplink control signaling.
  • It eliminates the need for manual configuration and reduces the chances of errors or interference in the transmission process.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability: The method ensures that the PUCCH transmission is performed accurately in multiple slots, reducing the risk of signal loss or errors.
  • Enhanced efficiency: By utilizing multiple slots and symbols, the method allows for more efficient utilization of the uplink control channel, improving overall system performance.
  • Simplified implementation: The method provides a systematic approach to configure and perform PUCCH transmission, simplifying the implementation process for terminal devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method is provided for a terminal, which includes identifying information on a number of slots for PUCCH transmission via an RRC signal; obtaining information on a starting symbol for the PUCCH transmission and information on a PRB for the PUCCH transmission; identifying a slot index for the PUCCH transmission for the PUCCH transmission; and performing, based on the information on the starting symbol, the information on the PRB, and the slot index, the PUCCH transmission in a plurality of slots corresponding to the number of slots. The information on the starting symbol and the information on the PRB are applied to a PUCCH of each of the plurality of slots. The PUCCH of each of the plurality of slots includes at least four symbols. The information on the starting symbol and the information on the PRB are obtained based on a combination of the RRC signal and physical signal.
