MULTIPLEXING OF PUCCH FOR BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY AND OTHER SIGNALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18486249 titled 'MULTIPLEXING OF PUCCH FOR BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY AND OTHER SIGNALS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatuses, systems, and methods for multiplexing of PUCCH for beam failure recovery and other signals. A UE may determine rules for transmission dropping and transmission power scaling for a PUCCH dedicatedly configured for secondary BFR transmission, such as a PUCCH-BFR, when multiplexed with other signals in a CC or multiple CCs.
- Simplified Explanation:
- Patent application focuses on multiplexing PUCCH signals for beam failure recovery and other signals. - UE determines rules for transmission dropping and power scaling to avoid beam collisions. - PUCCH-BFR and other signals are multiplexed based on these rules.
Potential Applications: - 5G and future wireless communication systems - Beamforming technology in cellular networks
Problems Solved: - Beam collisions in multiplexed signals - Efficient transmission of priority signals
Benefits: - Enhanced reliability in signal transmission - Improved network performance in beamforming scenarios
Potential Commercial Applications: - Telecommunication equipment manufacturers - Mobile network operators
Possible Prior Art: - Prior art related to beamforming and signal multiplexing in wireless communication systems.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the UE determine the transmission dropping rule based on signal priorities? 2. What specific scenarios in beamforming require the use of PUCCH-BFR for signal recovery?
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multiplexing of PUCCH for beam failure recovery and other signals. A UE may determine a transmission dropping rule and a transmission power scaling rule for a PUCCH which is dedicatedly configured for secondary BFR transmission, such as a PUCCH-BFR, when it is multiplexed with at least one other signal. The PUCCH-BFR and the at least one other signal may be multiplexed in a CC or in multiple CCs. The UE may determine a transmission dropping rule, e.g., so that UE can transmit an uplink signals with higher priority and drop the other uplink signal with lower priority to avoid beam collisions. The UE may determine a transmission power scaling rule, e.g., so the UE may scale transmission power within a CC and/or across CCs. The UE may multiplex the PUCCH-BFR with the at least one other signal according to the rules.
