UPLINK LATENCY REDUCTION IN FDD-TDD CARRIER AGGREGATION NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098558 titled 'UPLINK LATENCY REDUCTION IN FDD-TDD CARRIER AGGREGATION NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for configuring and utilizing uplink resources on different carriers for data transmission in a wireless communication system.

  • Configuring a periodic uplink (UL) resource on a first carrier of a user equipment (UE)
  • Transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) on the first carrier indicating a request for transmission resources on a second carrier
  • Receiving an UL grant for data transmission on the second carrier
  • Transmitting a user data packet on the second carrier using the transmission resources indicated in the UL grant

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems where efficient resource allocation is crucial, such as 5G networks, IoT devices, and mobile broadband services.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient utilization of uplink resources on multiple carriers 2. Seamless data transmission handover between carriers

Benefits

1. Improved data transmission reliability and efficiency 2. Enhanced network capacity and performance 3. Better user experience with reduced latency

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing resource allocation in 5G networks for faster and more reliable data transmission

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in this field may include patents related to dynamic resource allocation in wireless communication systems, multi-carrier data transmission techniques, and buffer status reporting for resource requests.

What are the technical specifications of the wireless communication system described in the patent application?

The technical specifications of the wireless communication system, such as frequency bands, modulation schemes, and transmission protocols, are not detailed in the abstract. Further information would be needed to understand the specific implementation of the method.

How does this method compare to existing techniques for uplink resource allocation in wireless communication systems?

This method appears to improve resource allocation efficiency by utilizing multiple carriers for uplink data transmission. Existing techniques may focus on single-carrier resource allocation, so this innovation could provide better performance and reliability in scenarios where multiple carriers are available.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are for configuring a periodic uplink (ul) resource on a first carrier of a user equipment (ue); transmitting a buffer status report (bsr) on the first carrier using the configured ul resource, the buffer status report indicating a request for transmission resources on a second carrier; receiving an ul grant for data transmission on the second carrier, the ul grant indicating transmission resources on the second carrier; and transmitting a user data packet on the second carrier using the transmission resources indicated in the ul grant.
