FEEDBACK TECHNIQUES FOR MULTICAST AND UNICAST COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114320 titled 'FEEDBACK TECHNIQUES FOR MULTICAST AND UNICAST COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications where a user equipment (UE) receives a feedback configuration from a base station for providing feedback for downlink communications. The UE then determines whether the feedback processes have a multicast-only configuration for multicast data communications or a multicast-or-unicast configuration for either multicast or unicast data communications. Based on this configuration, the UE decodes transmissions and determines a feedback codebook. The UE also monitors for retransmissions of multicast data communications based on the feedback process configuration.
- User equipment (UE) receives feedback configuration from base station for downlink communications.
- UE determines if feedback processes have multicast-only or multicast-or-unicast configuration.
- UE decodes transmissions and determines feedback codebook based on configuration.
- UE monitors for retransmissions of multicast data communications based on feedback process configuration.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 5G networks, to improve the efficiency and reliability of multicast and unicast data transmissions.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient feedback mechanisms for downlink communications in wireless networks. 2. Enhanced monitoring and decoding of multicast data communications.
Benefits
1. Improved performance and reliability of multicast and unicast data transmissions. 2. Enhanced feedback mechanisms for optimizing wireless communication systems.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing feedback mechanisms in 5G networks for better data transmission. Improving multicast data communication efficiency in wireless networks.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of feedback configurations in LTE networks for downlink communications. However, the specific implementation of multicast-only and multicast-or-unicast configurations as described in this patent application may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life in user equipment (UE)?
The patent application does not provide information on the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of user equipment. It would be important to understand if the additional monitoring and decoding processes have any significant effect on power consumption.
What are the potential security implications of implementing these feedback configurations in wireless networks?
The patent application does not address the security aspects of the proposed technology. It would be crucial to investigate any vulnerabilities or risks associated with the feedback mechanisms and transmissions in order to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data in wireless communications.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (ue) may receive a feedback configuration for providing feedback for downlink communications from a base station. based on the feedback configuration, the ue may determine whether one or more feedback processes has a multicast-only configuration for multicast data communications, or a multicast-or-unicast configuration for either multicast data communications or unicast data communications. the ue may decode one or more transmissions associated with the one or more feedback processes based on the multicast-only or multicast-or-unicast configuration, and may determine a feedback codebook based on the multicast-only or multicast-or-unicast configuration of the one or more feedback processes. the ue may monitor for retransmissions of one or more multicast data communications based on the feedback process configuration.
