SCHEDULING REQUEST RESPONSE MONITORING ALIGNMENT FOR ENERGY SAVINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18151349 titled 'SCHEDULING REQUEST RESPONSE MONITORING ALIGNMENT FOR ENERGY SAVINGS
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication, specifically focusing on the synchronization signal block (SSB) timing and uplink grant requests in a network.
- User equipment (UE) identifies SSB timing for receiving SSBs based on periodic SSB transmission occasions.
- The UE transmits a scheduling request (SR) to request an uplink grant for an uplink transmission.
- A timer is started by the UE to monitor for the uplink grant from a network entity after transmitting the SR, with a delayed start relative to the SR transmission.
- The timer may start after the SR is transmitted and at a specific time before a SSB transmission occasion.
- The timer may also start based on the SR being transmitted at a certain time after an SSB transmission occasion.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in 5G and future wireless communication systems to improve uplink transmission efficiency. - It can enhance network resource allocation and scheduling processes for better overall network performance.
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of uplink grants and scheduling requests in wireless communication systems. - Optimizing the timing of monitoring for uplink grants to reduce latency and improve network efficiency.
Benefits: - Improved uplink transmission reliability and efficiency. - Enhanced network resource utilization and overall performance.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Uplink Grant Request System for Wireless Communication Networks This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to enhance the performance of their wireless networks, leading to better user experience and increased customer satisfaction. It can also be integrated into IoT devices and smart city infrastructure for reliable and efficient data transmission.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a synchronization signal block (SSB) timing for receiving SSBs in accordance with periodic SSB transmission occasions. The UE may transmit a scheduling request (SR) requesting an uplink grant for an uplink transmission. The UE may start a timer associated with monitoring for the uplink grant from a network entity based on transmitting the SR, where starting the timer may be delayed with respect to the SR transmission. For example, the UE may start the timer after the SR is transmitted and at a first time that satisfies a first threshold duration prior to a first SSB transmission occasion of the periodic SSB transmission occasions. In some cases, the UE may start the timer based on the SR being transmitted at a time that satisfies a second threshold duration after an SSB transmission occasion.
