COMMUNICATING REPETITIONS OF MULTIPLE TRANSPORT BLOCKS SCHEDULED BY SINGLE DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18064618 titled 'COMMUNICATING REPETITIONS OF MULTIPLE TRANSPORT BLOCKS SCHEDULED BY SINGLE DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation involves scheduling transport blocks using a single downlink control information (DCI) message. The wireless device identifies a mapping pattern for mapping the transport blocks and their repetitions to communication resources. This mapping process includes partitioning the communication resources into subunits, where each subunit consists of resources spread across each subband of a frequency hopping pattern and at least one instance of each scheduled transport block.

  • Transport blocks can be scheduled using a single downlink control information (DCI) message.
  • Wireless devices can identify a mapping pattern for mapping transport blocks and their repetitions to communication resources.
  • The mapping process involves partitioning communication resources into subunits.
  • Each subunit includes resources spread across each subband of a frequency hopping pattern and at least one instance of each scheduled transport block.

Potential Applications

This technology can have various applications in the field of wireless communications, including:

  • Mobile networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Wireless sensor networks
  • Smart home automation systems

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Transport blocks may be scheduled using a single downlink control information (DCI) message. A wireless device may identify mapping pattern for mapping the transport blocks and repetitions of the transport blocks to communication resources. Mapping the transport blocks, or determining a mapping of the transport blocks, to communication resources may include partitioning the communication resources into subunits, where each subunit includes resources spread across each subband of a frequency hopping pattern and at least one instance of each of the scheduled transport blocks.
