EXTENDING UPLINK COMMUNICATIONS BY USER EQUIPMENT COOPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18259062 titled 'EXTENDING UPLINK COMMUNICATIONS BY USER EQUIPMENT COOPERATION
Simplified Explanation
- Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for extending uplink communications by user equipment (UE) cooperation are disclosed. - A target UE receives a target UE uplink configuration from a base station (BS) for a scheduled uplink transmission. - The target UE determines that a cooperative UE is configured to transmit the scheduled uplink transmission for the target UE based on a cooperative UE uplink configuration. - The target UE transmits information to the cooperative UE for transmitting the scheduled uplink transmission. - The BS transmits the target UE uplink configuration to the target UE indicating the cooperative UE uplink configuration. - The BS transmits the cooperative UE uplink configuration to the cooperative UE indicating an uplink resource allocation for transmitting the scheduled uplink transmission for the target UE. - The BS receives the scheduled uplink transmission from the cooperative UE.
- Potential Applications
- Mobile communication networks - Wireless communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Problems Solved
- Extending uplink communications by UE cooperation - Efficient utilization of uplink resources - Enhancing reliability of uplink transmissions
- Benefits
- Improved uplink communication performance - Enhanced network efficiency - Increased reliability of uplink transmissions
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for extending uplink communications by user equipment (UE) cooperation are disclosed herein. A target UE may receive, from a base station (BS), a target UE uplink configuration for a scheduled uplink transmission. The target UE may determine that the target UE uplink configuration includes an indication that a cooperative UE is configured to transmit the scheduled uplink transmission for the target UE based on a cooperative UE uplink configuration of the cooperative UE. The target UE may transmit, to the cooperative UE, information for transmitting the scheduled uplink transmission. The BS transmits, to the target UE, the target UE uplink configuration indicating the cooperative UE uplink configuration. The BS transmits, to the cooperative UE, the cooperative UE uplink configuration indicating an uplink resource allocation for transmitting the scheduled uplink transmission for the target UE. The BS receives, from the cooperative UE, the scheduled uplink transmission.
