OVERLAPPING PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL AND PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098735 titled 'OVERLAPPING PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL AND PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications where a user equipment (UE) can simultaneously transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission if certain conditions are met.

  • The UE can transmit PUSCH and PUCCH simultaneously if the scheduled quantity of layers for the PUSCH transmission does not exceed a maximum quantity of layers for PUSCH transmissions.
  • For a codebook based PUSCH transmission, the UE can transmit PUSCH and PUCCH simultaneously if the scheduled quantity of antenna ports for the PUSCH transmission does not exceed a maximum quantity of ports for PUSCH transmissions.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G and beyond wireless communication systems
  • IoT devices
  • Mobile broadband

Problems Solved

  • Efficient use of resources in wireless communications
  • Simultaneous transmission of control and data channels

Benefits

  • Increased throughput
  • Improved spectral efficiency
  • Enhanced user experience

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunication companies
  • IoT device manufacturers
  • Wireless network equipment vendors

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of multiple antennas for simultaneous transmission in wireless communications systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?

The abstract does not mention the impact of simultaneous transmission on battery life in mobile devices. This could be an important consideration for practical implementation.

Are there any limitations to the distance over which simultaneous transmission can be effectively achieved?

The abstract does not address any potential limitations in terms of distance for simultaneous transmission. It would be interesting to know if there are any constraints in this regard.


Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. a user equipment (ue) may receive control signaling scheduling a physical uplink control channel (pucch) transmission and a physical uplink shared channel (pusch) transmission that overlap in the time domain. the ue may simultaneously transmit the pusch and pucch transmissions if the scheduled quantity of layers for the pusch transmission (or the scheduled quantity of layers for the pusch transmission and the pucch transmission) does not exceed an indicated maximum quantity of layers for pusch transmissions (or pusch and pucch transmissions). for a codebook based pusch transmission, the ue may simultaneously transmit the pusch and pucch transmissions if the scheduled quantity of antenna ports for the pusch transmission (or the scheduled quantity of antenna ports for the pusch transmission and the pucch transmission) does not exceed an indicated maximum quantity of ports for pusch transmissions (or pusch and pucch transmissions).
