DETECTING ABSENCE OF HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST FEEDBACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340114 titled 'DETECTING ABSENCE OF HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST FEEDBACK

The patent application describes an apparatus that can detect the absence of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback for a transmission, determine if the transmission is associated with a sidelink unlicensed band, and use interpretation rules to determine the detected absence of HARQ feedback as either a positive acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the transmission.

  • The apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions for performing the above functions.
  • It can detect when HARQ feedback is missing for a transmission.
  • It can identify if the transmission is related to a sidelink unlicensed band.
  • It uses interpretation rules to determine the absence of HARQ feedback as either an ACK or a NACK for the transmission.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in wireless communication systems to improve the reliability of transmissions in sidelink unlicensed bands. - It can enhance the efficiency of data transmission in IoT devices operating in unlicensed spectrum.

Problems Solved: - Addressing the issue of missing HARQ feedback in transmissions in sidelink unlicensed bands. - Improving the overall performance and reliability of wireless communication systems.

Benefits: - Enhanced reliability and efficiency of data transmissions. - Improved communication quality in unlicensed spectrum bands. - Better overall performance of wireless networks.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Wireless Communication System for IoT Devices This technology can be utilized in IoT devices, smart home systems, and industrial automation for more reliable and efficient data transmission in unlicensed spectrum bands. It can also be integrated into communication infrastructure for improved network performance.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the reliability of data transmission in wireless communication systems? 2. What are the potential implications of using interpretation rules to determine HARQ feedback in sidelink unlicensed bands?


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus including at least one processor; and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: detecting absence of a hybrid automatic repeat request, harq, feedback for a transmission; determining that the transmission is associated with a sidelink unlicensed band; and based at least on the determining that the transmission is associated with the sidelink unlicensed band, using at least one interpretation rule in determining the detected absence of the harq feedback for the transmission either as a positive acknowledgement, ack, for the transmission or as a negative acknowledgement, nack, for the transmission.
