Enhancement of PUCCH Transmissions - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17755591 titled 'Enhancement of PUCCH Transmissions

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that determines the repetition factor for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions based on received indications.

  • The UE receives a first PUCCH repetition factor indication through radio resource control (RRC) and a second indication dynamically via downlink control information (DCI).
  • Based on these indications, the UE calculates the number of PUCCH repetitions needed for transmission.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Dynamic determination of PUCCH repetition factor based on received indications.
  • Utilization of both RRC-based and DCI-based indications for efficient PUCCH transmissions.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Mobile networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient allocation of resources for PUCCH transmissions
  • Optimization of uplink control channel performance

Benefits:

  • Improved reliability of uplink control channel transmissions
  • Enhanced overall system efficiency
  • Better utilization of network resources

Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in telecommunications equipment, IoT devices, and mobile network infrastructure to enhance communication efficiency and reliability.

Prior Art: Prior research in the field of wireless communication systems and network optimization may provide insights into similar approaches to improving uplink control channel transmissions.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in wireless communication protocols, network optimization techniques, and IoT device connectivity to further enhance the efficiency of PUCCH transmissions.

Questions about PUCCH Transmission Optimization: 1. How does the use of both RRC-based and DCI-based indications improve the efficiency of PUCCH transmissions? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing dynamic determination of PUCCH repetition factors in real-world network environments?


Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) is configured to determine a repetition factor for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions. The UE receives a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) repetition factor indication, wherein the first PUCCH repetition factor indication is a radio resource control (RRC)-based indication, receives a second PUCCH repetition factor indication, wherein the second PUCCH repetition factor is dynamically indicated via a downlink control information (DCI) transmission and determines a number of PUCCH repetitions based on at least one of the first and second PUCCH repetition factor indications.
