INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18158109 titled 'INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information transmission method and communication apparatus that aim to efficiently use spectrum resources. The method involves receiving configuration information from a second device, which instructs the second device to configure a certain number of uplink carriers for a first device. The method then determines a subset of uplink carriers from the configured carriers and sends information on those carriers.

The method allows for flexible allocation of uplink carriers to maximize spectrum resource utilization.
The configuration information enables the second device to allocate a specific number of uplink carriers to the first device.
The method ensures that the first device can simultaneously perform uplink transmission on a maximum quantity of carriers.
The subset selection process helps optimize the number of uplink carriers used by the first device.

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application disclose an information transmission method and a communication apparatus, to flexibly use spectrum resources. An embodiment of this application provides an information transmission method, including: receiving first configuration information from a second device, where the first configuration information instructs the second device to configure T uplink carriers for a first device, at least one element in a value set of T is a positive integer greater than L, and L is a maximum quantity of uplink carriers on which the first device can simultaneously perform uplink transmission; determining N uplink carriers from the T uplink carriers, where N is a positive integer less than or equal to L; and sending information on the N uplink carriers.
