RANDOM ACCESS RESPONSE SCHEMES FOR ENHANCED REDUCED CAPABILITY (REDCAP) USER EQUIPMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481118 titled 'RANDOM ACCESS RESPONSE SCHEMES FOR ENHANCED REDUCED CAPABILITY (REDCAP) USER EQUIPMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication, specifically focusing on the selection of PRACH resources for random access.

  • A first network node receives a control message indicating PRACH resources for random access of a second network node.
  • The PRACH resources are associated with different types of user equipment (UE).
  • The first network node selects a PRACH resource based on a ranking for PRACH resource selection and transmits a random access preamble to the second network node.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems to improve random access procedures and resource allocation.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient selection of PRACH resources for random access. 2. Optimized resource allocation based on UE types.

Benefits

1. Enhanced random access performance. 2. Improved network efficiency. 3. Better utilization of resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized random access procedures can benefit telecommunications companies, network equipment manufacturers, and other entities involved in wireless communication technologies.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to resource allocation and random access procedures in wireless communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the ranking for PRACH resource selection work in practice?

The abstract mentions selecting a PRACH resource based on a ranking, but it does not detail how this ranking is determined or implemented.

What impact does the selection of PRACH resources have on network performance?

While the abstract describes the selection process, it does not discuss the potential effects on network performance or user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first network node of a first type of UE may receive a control message indicating one or more PRACH resources to be used for random access of a second network node. Each of the one or more PRACH resources being associated with a respective one or more user equipment (UE) types. The first network node may determine that none of the indicated PRACH resources are associated with the first type of UE. The first network node may select a PRACH resource from the indicated PRACH resources in accordance with a ranking for PRACH resource selection. The first network node may transmit a random access preamble to the second network node via the selected PRACH resource.
