MULTIPLEXING CONTROL AND DATA INFORMATION FROM A USER EQUIPMENT IN A PHYSICAL DATA CHANNEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18070167 titled 'MULTIPLEXING CONTROL AND DATA INFORMATION FROM A USER EQUIPMENT IN A PHYSICAL DATA CHANNEL

Simplified Explanation

Methods and apparatus are described for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system.

  • The patent describes a method for a user equipment (UE) to transmit HARQ-ACK bits in a communication system.
  • The UE receives a configuration of cells and an offset for HARQ-ACK from a base station through higher layer signaling.
  • Based on the order of cell indexes and the number of transport blocks for each cell, the UE obtains HARQ-ACK bits for the cells.
  • The UE identifies the number of coded symbols for the obtained HARQ-ACK bits based on the number of bits and the corresponding offset.
  • The UE then transmits the obtained HARQ-ACK bits on one PUSCH of multiple PUSCHs based on the number of coded symbols.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various communication systems that use HARQ-ACK for error detection and retransmission.
  • It can be used in cellular networks, wireless communication systems, and other wireless networks where efficient transmission of HARQ-ACK bits is crucial.

Problems Solved

  • The patent addresses the problem of efficiently transmitting HARQ-ACK bits in a communication system.
  • It solves the issue of determining the number of coded symbols required for transmitting HARQ-ACK bits based on the number of bits and the corresponding offset.

Benefits

  • The described method allows for efficient transmission of HARQ-ACK bits, optimizing the use of resources in the communication system.
  • By accurately determining the number of coded symbols needed, the method ensures reliable transmission of HARQ-ACK bits, improving overall system performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatus are described for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system. A method includes receiving, from a base station, a first configuration of a plurality of cells and a second configuration of at least one offset for HARQ-ACK by higher layer signaling; obtaining HARQ-ACK bits for the plurality of cells, based on an order of cell indexes and a number of transport blocks for each of the plurality of the cells; identifying a number of coded symbols for the obtained HARQ-ACK bits based on a number of the obtained HARQ-ACK bits and an offset for HARQ-ACK corresponding to the obtained HARQ-ACK bits; and transmitting, to the base station, signals for the obtained HARQ-ACK bits on one PUSCH of multiple PUSCHs based on the number of coded symbols.
