SUPPORTING NETWORK TRANSMISSIONS USING UNICAST SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452344 titled 'SUPPORTING NETWORK TRANSMISSIONS USING UNICAST SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a system for supporting network transmissions using unicast sidelink communications. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A base station (BS) sends encoded packets to multiple user equipment (UEs) and receives feedback messages from the UEs indicating decoded packets.
  • Based on the feedback, the BS sends an updated set of encoded packets that considers the difference between the original encoded packets and the decoded packets.
  • The BS instructs a first UE to transmit a unicast sidelink communication to a second UE, including missed packets that were decoded by the first UE but not by the second UE.
  • The first UE then transmits the unicast sidelink communication to the second UE.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, particularly in scenarios where direct communication between UEs is required.
  • It can be used in various industries such as telecommunications, IoT, and smart cities to enable efficient and reliable communication between devices.

Problems Solved:

  • The system addresses the challenge of transmitting data reliably in a wireless network where direct communication between UEs is necessary.
  • It solves the problem of missed packets during transmission by allowing UEs to share decoded packets with each other.

Benefits:

  • Improved reliability: By allowing UEs to share decoded packets, the system increases the chances of successful transmission and reduces the risk of data loss.
  • Efficient use of network resources: The system optimizes the transmission process by updating the encoded packets based on feedback, reducing unnecessary retransmissions.
  • Enhanced communication capabilities: The ability to transmit unicast sidelink communications enables direct communication between UEs, expanding the possibilities for collaborative applications and services.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for supporting network transmissions using unicast sidelink communications. A base station (BS) may transmit a set of encoded packets to a number of user equipment (UEs) and receive feedback messages from the UEs that indicate sets of decoded packets. Based on the feedback messages, the BS may transmit an updated set of encoded packets based on a difference between the set of encoded packets and the union of decoded packets. The BS may transmit an instruction to a first UE to transmit a unicast sidelink communication to a second UE that includes a set of missed packets that includes one or more decoded packets that were decoded by the first UE but were not decoded by the second UE. The first UE may transmit the unicast sidelink communication to the second UE.
