METHOD AND APPARATUS IN A TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521308 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS IN A TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is about a method and apparatus for requesting scheduling of resources for uplink communication of data in a communications system. If repeated transmission of scheduling requests on an uplink control channel fails, a random access transmission on a random access channel is initiated as a fallback procedure.

• Simplified Explanation:

- Method and apparatus for requesting scheduling of resources for uplink communication. - If scheduling requests on uplink control channel fail, random access transmission is initiated.

• Potential Applications:

- Mobile communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Satellite communication systems

• Problems Solved:

- Efficient resource allocation for uplink communication - Improved reliability of data transmission

• Benefits:

- Enhanced communication system performance - Increased success rate of scheduling requests - Better utilization of resources

• Potential Commercial Applications:

- Telecommunication companies - IoT device manufacturers - Satellite communication providers

• Possible Prior Art:

- Previous methods for resource scheduling in communication systems - Random access procedures in wireless networks

Questions:

1. How does the invention handle unsuccessful scheduling requests on the uplink control channel? 2. What are the key differences between the proposed method and existing random access procedures in wireless networks?

Answers:

1. The invention initiates a random access transmission on a random access channel as a fallback procedure when scheduling requests on the uplink control channel are unsuccessful. 2. The proposed method specifically focuses on handling failed scheduling requests for uplink communication, whereas existing random access procedures may not be tailored for this specific scenario.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for requesting scheduling of resources to be used for uplink communication of data in a communications system. If the repeated transmission by a user equipment of scheduling requests on an uplink control channel is determined to be unsuccessful, a random access transmission on a random access channel is initiated as a fallback procedure.
