TECHNIQUES FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION SWITCHING WITH SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL CARRIER SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18258106 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION SWITCHING WITH SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL CARRIER SWITCHING
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to wireless communication and specifically to a method for switching between different carriers for transmitting reference signals and uplink data/control channels. The method involves a user equipment (UE) receiving indications for carrier switching and transmission switching between different carriers. The UE may suspend transmission on a third carrier during the time when a reference signal is being transmitted on a first carrier, based on its configuration for carrier switching and transmission switching.
- The UE receives an indication to transmit a reference signal on a first carrier.
- The UE is configured to switch between the first carrier and a second carrier for uplink data/control channel transmission.
- The UE receives an indication to switch between the second carrier and a third carrier for uplink transmission.
- During the transmission of the reference signal on the first carrier, the UE may suspend transmission on the third carrier based on its configuration for carrier switching and transmission switching.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
- Cellular networks
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient switching between carriers for transmitting reference signals and uplink data/control channels
- Optimal utilization of available carriers for transmission
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and reliability of wireless communication
- Enhanced efficiency in utilizing carrier resources
- Seamless switching between carriers for different types of transmissions
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication for a reference signal to be transmitted on a first carrier, wherein the UE is configured for reference signal carrier switching between the first carrier and a second carrier associated with uplink data channel or control channel transmission. The UE may receive an indication for uplink transmission switching between the second carrier and a third carrier. The UE may transmit, or suspend transmission, on the third carrier during a time associated with transmission of the reference signal on the first carrier based at least in part on the UE being configured for reference signal carrier switching and uplink transmission switching. Numerous other aspects are described.
