DETERMINING TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATIONS FOR RESOURCE BLOCK GROUPS AND PRECODING RESOURCE BLOCK GROUPS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18161468 titled 'DETERMINING TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATIONS FOR RESOURCE BLOCK GROUPS AND PRECODING RESOURCE BLOCK GROUPS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that aim to avoid errors caused by resource allocation calculations. These errors can be indicated through higher layer signaling or determined within DCI (Downlink Control Information). The techniques outlined in the patent application can be used to address these errors and improve the efficiency of resource allocation in wireless communication systems.

• The base station can transmit downlink control information to indicate resource allocation types that should be avoided to prevent errors.
• The UE (User Equipment) and/or base station can designate a specific size for the resource block group to avoid potential errors.
• The UE and/or base station can calculate the number of resource block groups needed for a particular bandwidth part and allocate the size of the resource block group based on this calculation.
• A comparison can be made between the size of the bandwidth part and the size of the resource block group to determine if a different resource block group size should be designated to avoid errors.
• Similar techniques can be applied to allocate resources for precoding resource block groups.

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application can have various applications in wireless communication systems, including:

• 5G and beyond 5G networks
• Mobile communication systems
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Wireless broadband networks
• Smart city infrastructure

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems in wireless communication systems:

• Errors caused by resource allocation calculations
• Inefficient resource allocation
• Potential errors in higher layer signaling and DCI
• Suboptimal resource block group size allocation

Benefits

The technology offers several benefits for wireless communication systems:

• Improved accuracy and efficiency in resource allocation
• Reduced errors and potential signal interference
• Enhanced performance and reliability of wireless networks
• Optimal allocation of resources for different bandwidth parts
• Flexibility in designating resource block group sizes to avoid errors.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described Techniques described may be utilized to avoid errors caused by resource allocation calculations, which may be indicated via higher layer signaling and/or determined within DCI. A base station may transmit downlink control information indicating resource allocation types to avoid errors. In other cases, the UE and/or base station may designate a particular resource block group size to avoid the potential errors. The UE and/or base station may calculate a number of resource blocks groups for a bandwidth part and allocate the size of the resource block group based on the calculation. The UE and/or base station may conduct a comparison between a bandwidth part size and a resource block group size to determine whether to designate a different resource block group size to avoid the errors. Similar techniques may be utilized in allocating resources for precoding resource block groups.
