METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION MULTIPLEXED DATA BY UE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121788 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION MULTIPLEXED DATA BY UE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method involves generating the MAC PDU and, based on a listen before talk (LBT) succeeding, transmitting the MAC PDU on an uplink resource using a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. Depending on whether the MAC PDU includes user data or not, different timers are started and the status of the HARQ process is set accordingly.

  • Method for transmitting MAC PDU by UE in a wireless communication system
  • Includes generating MAC PDU and transmitting it on an uplink resource using HARQ process
  • Different timers and status settings based on whether MAC PDU includes user data or not

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems where efficient transmission of MAC PDUs by user equipment is required. It can be particularly useful in 5G networks and IoT devices.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient transmission of MAC PDUs by user equipment 2. Optimizing HARQ process based on the content of the MAC PDU

Benefits

1. Improved reliability of data transmission 2. Enhanced efficiency in utilizing uplink resources 3. Better management of HARQ process based on the type of data being transmitted

Potential Commercial Applications

1. Telecommunication companies 2. IoT device manufacturers 3. Wireless network equipment providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of HARQ processes in wireless communication systems to improve data transmission reliability. However, the specific method of starting timers and setting status based on the content of the MAC PDU may be a novel aspect of this invention.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present invention relates to a method for transmitting a medium access control (mac) protocol data unit (pdu) by a user equipment (ue) in a wireless communication system. especially, the method includes the steps of generating the mac pdu; and based on a listen before talk (lbt) succeeding, transmitting the mac pdu on an uplink resource using a hybrid automatic repeat request (harq) process; wherein, based on the mac pdu including user data, a configured grant timer (cgt) and a configured grant retransmission timer (cgrt) for the harq process are started, and a status of the harq process is set to not pending, wherein, based on the mac pdu not including the user data and being multiplexed with uplink control information (uci), the cgt and the cgrt for the harq process are not started, and the status of the harq process is set to not pending.
