DOWNLINK PREEMPTION PATTERN INDICATION SIGNALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18296034 titled 'DOWNLINK PREEMPTION PATTERN INDICATION SIGNALING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that allow a victim network entity to share a downlink preemption pattern with user equipments (UEs) and neighboring network entities. This pattern defines resources during which the UE may preempt reception of downlink signaling, and the victim and neighbor network entities may preempt transmission of downlink signaling.
- Victim network entity shares downlink preemption pattern with UEs and neighboring network entities
- Control signaling indicates recurring downlink preemption pattern
- UE and network entities refrain from monitoring or transmitting downlink transmissions according to the pattern
- UE and network entities may discard pattern under certain conditions
Key Features and Innovation
- Sharing of downlink preemption pattern between victim network entity, UEs, and neighboring network entities
- Control signaling indicates recurring pattern for preempting downlink transmissions
- Allows UEs and network entities to avoid monitoring or transmitting downlink transmissions during specified resources
- Provides conditions for discarding the indicated downlink preemption pattern
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Network management
- Resource optimization in wireless networks
Problems Solved
- Efficient management of downlink resources
- Reduction of interference in wireless communications
- Improved coordination between network entities and UEs
Benefits
- Enhanced network efficiency
- Minimized interference
- Better utilization of resources
Commercial Applications
The technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, IoT, and smart devices to improve network performance and optimize resource allocation.
Questions about Wireless Communications
How does the sharing of downlink preemption patterns benefit wireless communication systems?
Sharing downlink preemption patterns allows for more efficient use of resources and reduces interference in wireless communications.
What are the potential implications of discarding the indicated downlink preemption pattern under certain conditions?
Discarding the pattern may lead to increased monitoring and transmission of downlink signals, potentially affecting network performance and resource utilization.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a victim network entity to share a downlink preemption pattern with user equipments (UEs) and neighboring network entities. For example, the victim network entity may transmit, to a UE and/or a neighbor network entity, control signaling indicating a recurring downlink preemption pattern defining one or more resources during which the UE may preempt reception of downlink signaling and the victim and neighbor network entities may preempt transmission of downlink signaling. The UE and the network entities may refrain from monitoring for downlink transmissions and transmitting downlink transmissions, respectively, in accordance with the indicated downlink preemption pattern. In some examples, the UE and the network entities may be configured with one or more conditions for discarding the indicated downlink preemption pattern and monitoring the one or more resources for or transmitting downlink transmissions.
