MULTIPLEXING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION ON UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462350 titled 'MULTIPLEXING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION ON UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation focuses on a user equipment (UE) receiving an uplink grant that schedules uplink shared channel transmissions of a specific length. However, the actual lengths of the transmissions may differ from each other and the scheduled length due to various factors, such as the communication environment. The UE also identifies uplink control information that needs to be multiplexed on the uplink shared channel. The UE ensures that the rate-matching scheme and coding scheme remain the same for each transmission and transmits the uplink control information in at least one of the transmissions.
- User equipment (UE) receives an uplink grant for uplink shared channel transmissions.
- The actual lengths of the transmissions may differ from each other and the scheduled length.
- Factors like communication environment and slot boundaries affect the lengths of the transmissions.
- UE identifies uplink control information to be multiplexed on the uplink shared channel.
- Uplink control information may overlap with a control channel or be based on an uplink grant.
- UE maintains the same rate-matching scheme and coding scheme for each transmission.
- Uplink control information is transmitted in at least one of the transmissions.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in the field of wireless communications, particularly in the development of user equipment (UE) for various wireless networks. It can be utilized in industries such as telecommunications, mobile networks, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices.
Problems Solved
1. Inconsistent lengths of uplink shared channel transmissions due to communication environment conditions. 2. Difficulty in identifying and multiplexing uplink control information on the shared channel. 3. Maintaining the same rate-matching scheme and coding scheme for each transmission.
Benefits
1. Improved efficiency and reliability of uplink shared channel transmissions. 2. Enhanced control and management of uplink control information. 3. Flexibility in adapting to varying communication environment conditions. 4. Simplified implementation and operation of wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink grant that schedules uplink shared channel transmissions of a first length. The UE may then determine the actual lengths of the transmissions, which may differ from each other and the scheduled length (e.g., due to conditions of the communication environment, such as the location of slot boundaries). The UE may also identify uplink control information to be multiplexed on the uplink shared channel (e.g., when the scheduled transmission overlaps with a control channel or based on an uplink grant for the uplink control information). The UE may multiplex the uplink control information on the uplink shared channel so as to maintain the same rate-matching scheme and the same coding scheme for each of the transmissions, and transmit the uplink control information in at least one of the transmissions.
