INFORMATION SENDING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION RECEIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18158082 titled 'INFORMATION SENDING METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION RECEIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for improving the random access process in a wireless communication system. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves a terminal device sending a random access preamble on a first uplink carrier.
  • The terminal device then receives first information, which includes carrier indication information.
  • The carrier indication information is used to indicate a second uplink carrier that can be used for sending a message 3 in the random access process.
  • The second uplink carrier is different from the first uplink carrier.
  • Finally, the terminal device sends the message 3 on the second uplink carrier.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve the efficiency of the random access process.
  • It can be particularly useful in scenarios where multiple uplink carriers are available and need to be utilized effectively.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method addresses the issue of congestion and interference in the random access process by utilizing a separate carrier for message 3.
  • It helps in reducing collisions and improving the overall reliability and success rate of random access attempts.

Benefits of this technology:

  • By using a different carrier for message 3, the method increases the capacity and efficiency of the random access process.
  • It allows for better utilization of available uplink carriers, leading to improved system performance and user experience.
  • The method enhances the reliability and success rate of random access attempts, resulting in faster and more reliable connections.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes sending, by a terminal device, a random access preamble on a first uplink carrier. The method further includes receiving, by the terminal device, first information. The first information includes carrier indication information. The carrier indication information is useable to indicate a second uplink carrier useable by a message 3 in a random access process. The second uplink carrier is different from the first uplink carrier. The method further includes sending, by the terminal device, the message 3 in the random access process on the second uplink carrier.
