UPLINK FREQUENCY HOPPING AND SCHEDULING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17444101 titled 'UPLINK FREQUENCY HOPPING AND SCHEDULING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to wireless communication and specifically addresses the issue of frequency retuning during uplink transmissions. The user equipment (UE) determines the amount of time needed for frequency retuning between uplink allocations at a specific subcarrier spacing (SCS). The UE then performs frequency retuning while hopping from one set of frequency resources to another set during consecutive unallocated resources.

• The user equipment (UE) determines the time needed for frequency retuning during uplink transmissions.
• Frequency retuning is performed while hopping from one set of frequency resources to another set.
• The frequency retuning is done during consecutive unallocated resources.
• The determination of the unallocated resources is based on the time needed for frequency retuning.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems
• Mobile networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• 5G and future generations of wireless networks

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient frequency retuning during uplink transmissions
• Minimizing interruptions during frequency hopping
• Optimizing resource allocation for wireless communication

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved performance and reliability of wireless communication systems
• Enhanced efficiency in frequency retuning process
• Reduced interruptions and delays during frequency hopping

Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine an amount of time between uplink allocations that is needed for performing frequency retuning during operation at a subcarrier spacing (SCS). The UE may perform frequency retuning in association with hopping from a first set of frequency resources, associated with transmitting a first uplink transmission, to a second set of frequency resources, associated with transmitting a second uplink transmission, during operation at the SCS, wherein the frequency retuning is performed during a set of consecutive unallocated resources determined based at least in part on the amount of time between uplink allocations that is needed for performing frequency retuning. Numerous other aspects are described.
