PROCESSING FOR MULTICAST OPERATION USING MULTIPLE SETS OF PROCESSING RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18468548 titled 'PROCESSING FOR MULTICAST OPERATION USING MULTIPLE SETS OF PROCESSING RESOURCES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, specifically focusing on supporting both unicast and multicast downlink signaling on a single component carrier (CC) for user equipment (UE).

• User equipment (UE) can receive a unicast message and a multicast message simultaneously over the same CC during a transmission time interval (TTI).
• Different sets of processing resources are used for receiving the unicast and multicast messages, which may be associated with different hybrid automatic repeat request (HARM) soft buffers, component carriers (CCs), or transmit/receive points (TRPs).

Potential Applications

• Mobile telecommunications networks
• Broadcasting systems
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved

• Efficient utilization of resources for simultaneous unicast and multicast message reception
• Enhanced user experience with improved downlink signaling capabilities

Benefits

• Increased data transmission efficiency
• Reduced latency in receiving multiple types of messages
• Enhanced network capacity and performance

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may support both unicast and multicast downlink signaling, such as on a single component carrier (CC). A UE may receive a unicast message over a first CC during a transmission time interval (TTI) using a first set of processing resources. The UE may simultaneously receive a multicast message over the first CC during the same TTI using a second set of processing resources. The first and second sets of processing resources may be associated with first and second hybrid automatic repeat request (HARM) soft buffers, first and second CCs, or first and second transmit/receive points (TRPs).
