METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING FLEXIBLE UE BANDWIDTH IN NEXT GENERATION COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149404 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING FLEXIBLE UE BANDWIDTH IN NEXT GENERATION COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and system for supporting flexible user equipment (UE) bandwidth during a random access process. The method involves transmitting a random access preamble to a base station using a selected bandwidth from a range of available channel bandwidths. The UE then receives a random access response from the base station using a different selected bandwidth. Finally, the UE transmits a scheduled transmission message to the base station using yet another selected bandwidth.

  • The method allows the UE to dynamically adjust its bandwidth during the random access process.
  • The UE can select different channel bandwidths for transmitting the random access preamble, receiving the random access response, and transmitting the scheduled transmission message.
  • This flexibility in bandwidth selection enables efficient communication between the UE and the base station.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to enhance the random access process and improve overall system performance.

Problems Solved

1. Limited bandwidth options during the random access process can lead to inefficiencies and reduced system performance. 2. Fixed bandwidth allocation may not be suitable for all UE requirements and network conditions. 3. Lack of flexibility in bandwidth selection can result in suboptimal communication between the UE and the base station.

Benefits

1. Improved system performance by allowing the UE to adapt its bandwidth during the random access process. 2. Enhanced efficiency in the random access procedure by selecting different channel bandwidths for different stages. 3. Flexibility in bandwidth selection enables better communication based on UE requirements and network conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and a system for supporting flexible user equipment (UE) bandwidth by the UE during a random access are provided. The method includes transmitting, to a base station, a random access preamble over a first bandwidth selected among a plurality of channel bandwidths of the UE, receiving, from the base station, a random access response over a second bandwidth selected among the plurality of channel bandwidths, and transmitting, to the base station, a scheduled transmission message over a third bandwidth selected among the plurality of channel bandwidths of the UE.
