APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TIME DOMAIN BANDWIDTH PART (TD-BWP) SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240090007 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TIME DOMAIN BANDWIDTH PART (TD-BWP) SWITCHING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes apparatuses and methods for implementing a time domain bandwidth part (TD-BWP) switch to balance between UE power consumption and latency.

  • A UE can add padding bits to a transport block to reach a predetermined slot capacity for one transmission time interval (TTI) in response to certain conditions.
  • The UE then transmits the transport block to the base station and receives a message to change the TD-BWP based on the received message.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to optimize power consumption and latency for user equipment (UE).

Problems Solved

1. Balancing between UE power consumption and latency. 2. Efficient utilization of bandwidth resources in wireless communication systems.

Benefits

1. Improved power efficiency for UEs. 2. Reduced latency for UE traffic. 3. Enhanced bandwidth utilization.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing power consumption and latency in 5G and future wireless communication systems.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to methods for optimizing power consumption and latency in wireless communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing methods for balancing power consumption and latency in wireless communication systems?

This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing methods for balancing power consumption and latency in wireless communication systems.

What are the specific conditions that trigger the addition of padding bits by the UE?

The patent application does not detail the specific conditions that trigger the addition of padding bits by the UE.


Original Abstract Submitted

some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing time domain bandwidth part (td-bwp) switch for balancing between the ue power consumption and a latency of the ue. for example, a ue can be configured to add a plurality of padding bits to a transport block (tb) to reach a predetermined slot capacity for one transmission time interval (tti) associated with ue traffic in response to determining that a parameter associated with the ue traffic meets a condition. the ue can be further configured to transmit the tb over the tti to the base station and receive a message from the base station. the ue is further configured to change a time domain bandwidth part (td-bwp) based on the received message.
