EXPANDED PUCCH TRANSMISSION BANDWIDTH FOR HIGH CARRIER FREQUENCY OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267903 titled 'EXPANDED PUCCH TRANSMISSION BANDWIDTH FOR HIGH CARRIER FREQUENCY OPERATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment (UE) that can operate above 52.6 GHz and decode radio-resource control (RRC) signaling from a gNodeB (gNB) to configure the UE with a number of resource blocks (RBs) for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for enhanced PUCCH formats.

  • The UE is configured with a number of RBs for PUCCH resource based on RRC signaling from gNB.
  • The enhanced PUCCH formats include format 0, format 1, and format 4.
  • The number of RBs can be configured to be more than one for each enhanced PUCCH format.
  • The UE encodes and transmits an enhanced PUCCH format occupying the configured number of RBs.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in high-frequency communication systems for efficient uplink control channel resource allocation.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently configuring UE with PUCCH resources for enhanced PUCCH formats in high-frequency operations.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved uplink control channel resource utilization and enhanced communication efficiency in high-frequency bands.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include 5G and beyond communication systems, IoT devices, and high-speed data transmission networks.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be related patents or research papers on resource allocation for uplink control channels in high-frequency communication systems.

What are the specific enhanced PUCCH formats supported by the UE in this patent application?

The specific enhanced PUCCH formats supported by the UE in this patent application are format 0, format 1, and format 4.

How does the UE determine the number of resource blocks (RBs) for each enhanced PUCCH format?

The UE determines the number of RBs for each enhanced PUCCH format based on the RRC signaling received from the gNodeB, which configures the UE with the appropriate resources for transmission.


Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) configured for carrier frequency operations above 52.6 GHz may decode radio-resource control (RRC) signalling received from a gNodeB (gNB) to configure the UE with a number of resource blocks (RBs) (NRB) for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for each of one or more enhanced PUCCH formats. The one or more enhanced PUCCH formats may include enhanced PUCCH format 0, enhanced PUCCH format 1 and enhanced PUCCH format 4. The number of RBs may be configurable to be more than one for the enhanced PUCCH format 0, the enhanced PUCCH format 1 and the enhanced PUCCH format 4. The UE may encode an enhanced PUCCH format for transmission in accordance with one of the enhanced PUCCH format 0, the enhanced PUCCH format 1 and the enhanced PUCCH format 4. The enhanced PUCCH format may be transmitted to occupy the number of RBs that are configured.
