==SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR HARQ MANAGEMENT IN NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187145 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR HARQ MANAGEMENT IN NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORKS

==Simplified Explanation==

The techniques described in this patent application focus on managing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes and communications for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), such as satellite networks in wireless communication systems. 

* User equipment (UE) can connect to an NTN and determine HARQ capabilities related to NTNs.
* The UE can send a HARQ disablement message to the NTN and communicate without HARQ procedures.
* The HARQ disablement message includes UE's disablement capabilities and may request the network to disable HARQ.
* The message may contain a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message and address HARQ disablement per logical channel identifier (LCID) or dedicated radio bearer (DRB).

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in satellite communication systems, IoT networks, and other wireless communication systems where HARQ processes need to be managed efficiently.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Efficient management of HARQ processes in non-terrestrial networks.
2. Seamless communication between user equipment and NTN without HARQ procedures.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved reliability and performance in NTN communications.
2. Enhanced flexibility in managing HARQ processes based on UE capabilities.
3. Reduced latency and improved overall network efficiency.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology can be utilized in satellite communication systems, IoT devices, remote sensing applications, and other wireless communication systems requiring reliable and efficient data transmission.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of HARQ processes in traditional terrestrial wireless communication systems. However, the specific application of managing HARQ processes in non-terrestrial networks may be a novel aspect of this technology.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does this technology impact the overall network latency in NTN communications? ===
The patent application does not provide specific details on the impact of this technology on network latency in NTN communications.

=== What are the potential challenges in implementing HARQ disablement in NTN communications? ===
The patent application does not address any potential challenges that may arise in implementing HARQ disablement in NTN communications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

techniques, described herein, include solutions for managing hybrid automatic repeat request (harq) processes and communications for non-terrestrial networks (ntns) (e.g., a wireless communication network that includes a satellite network component). a user equipment (ue) may connect to an ntn and determine hybrid automatic repeat request (harq) capabilities regarding ntns. the ue may also communicate a harq disablement message to the ntn and communicate with ntn without harq procedures. the harq disablement message may provide the harq disablement capabilities of the ue and/or be a request for the network to disable harq. the harq disablement message may include a radio resource control (rrc) reconfiguration message and may address harq disablement per logical channel identifier (lcid) or dedicated radio bearer (drb).
