DETERMINING PROCESSING TIME FOR HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17440615 titled 'DETERMINING PROCESSING TIME FOR HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application is about a system for improving processing times in a 5G wireless communications system. - In a 5G system, when operating at higher frequency subcarrier spacing, the time slots for receiving and transmitting data become shorter. - Some user equipment (UE) may struggle to process the data quickly enough, particularly for certain types of data channels. - To address this, a flexible minimum processing time is used to accommodate different UE processing capabilities. - The UE reports its processing capabilities to the 5G Node B (gNB). - The gNB then schedules communications based on the UE's processing capabilities. - The gNB takes into account whether the UE has a single or multiple processing engines. - The gNB also uses single-slot and multi-slot scheduling techniques to prevent timing issues.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some embodiments include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for facilitating processing times in a 5G wireless communications system. When operating at higher frequency subcarrier spacing (SCS), slot times for receiving and/or transmitting data between user equipment (UE) and a 5G Node B (gNB) become shorter. Because of this, some UE may face difficulty in processing physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and/or physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) data with sufficient speed. To address potential limitations, a flexible minimum processing time may be used to accommodate different UE processing capabilities. The UE may report its processing capabilities to the gNB. The gNB may then schedule communications according to the UE’s processing capabilities. The gNB may consider whether the UE implements a single or multiple processing engines. Further, the gNB may apply single-slot and/or multi-slot scheduling techniques to also prevent timing issues.
