UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION MAPPING FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18245710 Titled 'UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION MAPPING FOR UPLINK TRANSMISSION SWITCHING'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a user equipment (UE) can perform dual uplink transmissions on two different operating bands of a carrier aggregation configuration. The UE can communicate on a primary cell and a secondary cell, each associated with different component carriers. The UE generates uplink control information (UCI) for the secondary cell, which is normally mapped to an uplink shared transmission of the primary cell. However, if the UE identifies that uplink transmission switching is going to occur before transmitting the UCI, it will modify the cell mapping for the UCI transmission based on this identified switching.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to perform dual uplink transmissions on two different operating bands of a carrier aggregation configuration. The UE may communicate on a primary cell associated with a primary component carrier and a secondary cell associated with a secondary component carrier. The UE may generate uplink control information (UCI) for the secondary cell, which is mapped to an uplink shared transmission of the primary cell. In some cases, however, the UE may identify that uplink transmission switching is to occur prior to the transmission of the UCI, such that UE may not map the UCI to the uplink shared transmission of the primary cell. Accordingly, the UE may modify a cell mapping for the transmission of the UCI based on the identified uplink transmission switching.
