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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18369085 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

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.
