Enhancement of PUCCH Transmissions - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323963 titled 'Enhancement of PUCCH Transmissions

The abstract describes a patent application where a user equipment (UE) is able to determine the repetition factor for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions based on received indications.

  • The UE receives a first PUCCH repetition factor indication, which is a Radio Resource Control (RRC)-based indication.
  • The UE also receives a second PUCCH repetition factor indication, dynamically indicated via a Downlink Control Information (DCI) transmission.
  • Based on these indications, the UE determines the number of PUCCH repetitions for transmissions.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to optimize PUCCH transmissions. - It can improve the efficiency and reliability of uplink control channel communications in cellular networks.

Problems Solved: - Efficient determination of PUCCH repetition factors. - Dynamic adjustment of PUCCH repetitions based on network conditions.

Benefits: - Enhanced reliability of uplink control channel transmissions. - Improved spectral efficiency in wireless communication systems.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Dynamic PUCCH Repetition Factor Determination in Wireless Communication Systems" This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to enhance the performance of their cellular networks, leading to better user experience and increased network capacity.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the dynamic adjustment of PUCCH repetition factors improve the efficiency of uplink control channel transmissions? 2. What are the key advantages of using RRC-based and DCI-based indications for determining PUCCH repetition factors?


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.
