THRESHOLD-BASED AND POWER-EFFICIENT SCHEDULING REQUEST PROCEDURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240090014 titled 'THRESHOLD-BASED AND POWER-EFFICIENT SCHEDULING REQUEST PROCEDURE

Simplified Explanation

The invention relates to methods for improving a scheduling request transmission between a UE and a base station. The transmission of the scheduling request is postponed by implementing a threshold that the data in the transmission buffer has to reach before a transmission of the scheduling request is triggered. In one variant, the data in the transmission buffer needs to reach a specific amount to trigger a scheduling request. The invention also includes further improvements such as delaying the PDDCH monitoring time window after sending a scheduling request and prioritizing dedicated scheduling request resources of the PUCCH differently to transmit low-priority scheduling requests less often.

  • Postponing scheduling request transmission by implementing a threshold in the transmission buffer.
  • Requiring a specific amount of data in the transmission buffer to trigger a scheduling request.
  • Delaying the PDDCH monitoring time window after sending a scheduling request.
  • Prioritizing dedicated scheduling request resources of the PUCCH differently to transmit low-priority scheduling requests less often.

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in wireless communication systems to improve the efficiency of scheduling request transmissions between user equipment and base stations.

Problems Solved

1. Delayed scheduling request transmissions can help reduce unnecessary signaling overhead in the network. 2. Prioritizing scheduling requests based on data in the transmission buffer can optimize resource allocation and improve overall system performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

the invention relates to methods for improving a scheduling request transmission between a ue and a base station. the transmission of the scheduling request is postponed, by implementing a threshold that the data in the transmission buffer has to reach, before a transmission of the scheduling request is triggered. in one variant, the data in the transmission buffer needs to reach a specific amount, to trigger a scheduling request. the invention refers to further improvements: the pddch monitoring time window is delayed after sending a scheduling request; the dedicated scheduling request resources of the pucch are prioritized differently such that low-priority scheduling requests are transmitted less often.
