MULTIPLEXING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (UCI) ON PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL (PUSCH) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17441245 titled 'MULTIPLEXING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (UCI) ON PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL (PUSCH)
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes techniques for a user equipment (UE) to transmit data and control information without using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The UE determines a set of configured grant (CG) physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs) that overlap with the PUCCH and are used to transmit data to the base station.
- The UE determines a first set of CG PUSCHs that overlap with the PUCCH and are configured to transmit data from the UE to the base station.
- The UE excludes a third set of CG PUSCHs from the first set to determine a second set of CG PUSCHs.
- The UE selects a CG PUSCH from the second set to carry the uplink control information (UCI) that would normally be transmitted on the PUCCH.
- The UE transmits the selected CG PUSCH including the UCI, eliminating the need to transmit the PUCCH.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for a user equipment (UE) to transmit a configured grant (CG) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) including an uplink control information (UCI) without transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The UE determines, based on a configuration received from the base station, a first set of CG PUSCHs. Each CG PUSCH of the first set of CG PUSCHs overlaps with the PUCCH, and is configured to transmit data from the UE to the base station. The UE further determines a second set of CG PUSCHs by excluding a third set of CG PUSCHs from the first set of CG PUSCHs. and select a CG PUSCH from the second set of CG PUSCHs to carry the UCI contained in the PUCCH. The UE further transmits the selected CG PUSCH including the UCI without transmitting the PUCCH.
