UPLINK LATENCY REDUCTION IN FDD-TDD CARRIER AGGREGATION NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18368926 titled 'UPLINK LATENCY REDUCTION IN FDD-TDD CARRIER AGGREGATION NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for configuring and utilizing uplink resources on different carriers for data transmission in a wireless communication system.

  • Configuring a periodic uplink (UL) resource on a first carrier of a user equipment (UE)
  • Transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) on the first carrier indicating a request for transmission resources on a second carrier
  • Receiving an UL grant for data transmission on the second carrier
  • Transmitting a user data packet on the second carrier using the transmission resources indicated in the UL grant

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 4G and 5G networks, to efficiently manage uplink resources and improve data transmission.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient utilization of uplink resources on multiple carriers 2. Seamless data transmission across different carriers in a wireless network

Benefits

1. Enhanced data transmission reliability and efficiency 2. Improved network capacity and performance 3. Better resource allocation for uplink data transmission

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing uplink resource allocation in wireless networks for improved data transmission efficiency and network performance.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include patents or publications related to resource allocation and management in wireless communication systems, particularly focusing on uplink transmission across multiple carriers.

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are for configuring a periodic uplink (UL) resource on a first carrier of a user equipment (UE); transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) on the first carrier using the configured UL resource, the buffer status report indicating a request for transmission resources on a second carrier; receiving an UL grant for data transmission on the second carrier, the UL grant indicating transmission resources on the second carrier; and transmitting a user data packet on the second carrier using the transmission resources indicated in the UL grant.
