METHODS, TERMINALS, NETWORK EQUIPMENT, SYSTEMS, CIRCUITRY AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031913 titled 'METHODS, TERMINALS, NETWORK EQUIPMENT, SYSTEMS, CIRCUITRY AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for communication in a mobile communications network, specifically in relation to downlink data transmission.
- The method involves receiving a grant message at a terminal, which schedules multiple downlink resource sets.
- Based on the grant message, the terminal determines that intermediate acknowledgement feedback needs to be notified to the base station.
- The terminal then attempts to decode the downlink data transmission in an intermediate step.
- Finally, the terminal transmits an indication of the intermediate acknowledgement feedback corresponding to the intermediate decoding attempt.
This method aims to improve communication efficiency and reliability in a mobile communications network by providing a mechanism for acknowledging the reception of downlink data in an intermediate step.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for communicating in a mobile communications network, the network comprising a network equipment configured to provide a wireless interface to communicate with at least a terminal. The method comprises receiving, at the terminal, a grant message scheduling a plurality of downlink resource sets; determining, based on the grant message, that intermediate acknowledgement feedback is to be notified to the base station; making an intermediate attempt to decode the downlink data transmission; and transmitting an indication of the intermediate acknowledgement feedback corresponding to the intermediate attempt to decode the downlink data transmission.
