IAB Timing Delta MAC CE Enhancement for Case #6 Timing Support - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032267 titled 'IAB Timing Delta MAC CE Enhancement for Case #6 Timing Support
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for improving timing in an integrated access and backhaul node. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The patent application introduces techniques to enhance timing for an integrated access and backhaul node.
- A control element is received, which is used to determine the timing mode and associated timing information for the node.
- Based on the control element, the timing mode and associated timing information for the node are determined.
- The determined timing mode and timing information are then applied for subsequent uplink transmissions from the node.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various fields where integrated access and backhaul nodes are used, such as:
- Wireless communication networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
- Mobile network infrastructure
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems:
- Timing synchronization issues in integrated access and backhaul nodes
- Inefficient uplink transmissions due to timing discrepancies
- Lack of a standardized method for determining timing modes and associated timing information
Benefits
The technology offers several benefits:
- Improved timing accuracy and synchronization in integrated access and backhaul nodes
- Enhanced efficiency and reliability of uplink transmissions
- Standardized approach for determining timing modes and associated timing information
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for timing enhancement for an integrated access and backhaul node are disclosed. A method includes receiving a control element that is used to determine a timing mode and/or associated timing information for an integrated access and backhaul node; determining the timing mode and/or the associated timing information for the integrated access and backhaul node, based on the control element; and applying the timing mode and/or the associated timing information for a subsequent uplink transmission for the integrated access and backhaul node.
