UPLINK TRANSMISSIONS IN NEXT AVAILABLE SLOTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18547975 titled 'UPLINK TRANSMISSIONS IN NEXT AVAILABLE SLOTS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a user equipment (UE) receives downlink transmissions with different priorities and manages uplink transmissions to avoid collisions.

  • UE receives a first downlink transmission with a first priority based on a first downlink grant.
  • UE receives a second downlink transmission with a higher priority than the first.
  • UE drops a first uplink transmission associated with the first downlink transmission and a second uplink transmission associated with the second downlink transmission due to colliding resources.
  • UE transmits the first uplink transmission in the next available slot based on an indication in the first downlink grant.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Mobile communication systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Efficient resource management in wireless communication
  • Prioritizing data transmissions based on urgency

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved data transmission efficiency
  • Reduced collisions and interference in wireless networks

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include:

  • Telecommunication companies
  • IoT device manufacturers
  • Network equipment providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of priority-based scheduling in wireless communication systems to manage data transmissions efficiently.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?

This technology may impact battery life by optimizing data transmission schedules, potentially reducing power consumption.

What are the implications of using different priorities for data transmissions in terms of network congestion?

Using different priorities for data transmissions may help in managing network congestion by prioritizing critical data packets over less urgent ones.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, a first downlink transmission associated with a first priority based at least in part on a first IN downlink grant. The UE may receive, from the network entity, a second downlink transmission associated with a second priority that is higher than the first priority. The UE may drop a first uplink transmission associated with the first downlink transmission based at least in part on the first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission associated with the second downlink transmission being associated with colliding resources in a slot. The UE may transmit, to the network entity, the first uplink transmission in a next available slot based at least in part on an indication included in the first downlink grant. Numerous other aspects are described.
