METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT OF MSG3 - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18391270 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT OF MSG3

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for enhancing coverage of Msg3 in a wireless communication system by optimizing the transmission of physical uplink shared channels (PUSCH) based on system information blocks (SIBs) and time domain resource allocation tables (TDRA).

  • The method involves receiving SIBs that provide information on mapping PRACH resources to enable or disable repetitions for PUSCH transmissions.
  • A TDRA table is used to indicate the number of repetitions for a PUSCH transmission, with a second TDRA table being used in certain cases.
  • The method includes determining PRACH resources, selecting a TDRA table, receiving grant scheduling transmissions, and transmitting PUSCH accordingly.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems to improve coverage and efficiency of PUSCH transmissions.

Problems Solved

1. Enhances coverage and reliability of Msg3 in random access procedures. 2. Optimizes resource allocation for PUSCH transmissions based on PRACH resources.

Benefits

1. Improved signal transmission and reception. 2. Enhanced network performance and efficiency. 3. Better utilization of resources for PUSCH transmissions.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology can be utilized in 5G networks, IoT devices, and other wireless communication systems to optimize PUSCH transmissions and improve overall network performance.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be methods for resource allocation and optimization in wireless communication systems, but specific details on coverage enhancement of Msg3 may not have been addressed.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method compare to existing techniques for PUSCH transmission optimization?

The article does not provide a direct comparison with existing techniques in the field.

What impact does this method have on overall network capacity and throughput?

The article does not discuss the potential impact of this method on network capacity and throughput.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for coverage enhancement of Msg3. A method for operating a user equipment includes receiving a system information block (SIB) that provides information mapping physical random access channel (PRACH) resources to enable or disable repetitions for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in a random access procedure and a first time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table. An entry of the first TDRA table indicates a number of repetitions of a PUSCH transmission. The method further includes determining a PRACH resource for transmission of a PRACH, determining, based on the PRACH resource, a TDRA table from between the first TDRA table or a predetermined second TDRA table. No entry of the second TDRA table indicates a number of repetitions for a PUSCH transmission. The method further includes receiving a first grant scheduling transmission of a first PUSCH and transmitting the first PUSCH.
