MULTIPLEXING OF UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (UCI) WITH DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LAYER PRIORITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18281721 titled 'MULTIPLEXING OF UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (UCI) WITH DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LAYER PRIORITIES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment (UE) in a fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) system that multiplexes high-priority (HP) and low-priority (LP) hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) bits onto a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission to a gNode B (gNB).

  • The UE is configured to multiplex HP HARQ-ACK bits from a first HARQ-ACK codebook with LP HARQ-ACK bits from a second HARQ-ACK codebook.
  • The HP and LP HARQ-ACK bits are encoded with different maximum code rates, which are configured to the UE via RRC signaling per PUCCH format.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G wireless communication systems
  • Mobile devices and networks

Problems Solved

This technology solves issues related to:

  • Efficient transmission of HARQ-ACK bits
  • Prioritization of HARQ-ACK information

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved reliability in HARQ-ACK transmission
  • Enhanced performance in 5G networks

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Telecommunication companies
  • Network equipment manufacturers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of different code rates for encoding HARQ-ACK bits in wireless communication systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?

The abstract does not mention the impact of this technology on battery life in mobile devices. It would be interesting to know if the multiplexing of HARQ-ACK bits affects power consumption.

Are there any compatibility issues with existing 5G infrastructure?

The abstract does not address any potential compatibility issues with existing 5G infrastructure. It would be important to understand if this technology can seamlessly integrate with current systems without any issues.


Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) system may multiplex high-priority (HP) hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) bits corresponding to a first HARQ-ACK code-book with low-priority (LP) HARQ-ACK bits corresponding to a second HARQ-ACK codebook onto a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission to a gNode B (gNB). The UE may be configured with the first HARQ-ACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK codebook of different priorities. The HP HARQ-ACK bits may be encoded with a first maximum code rate (maxCodeRate) and the LP HARQ-ACK bits may be encoded with a second maximum code rate. The maximum code rates may be configured to the UE via RRC signalling per PUCCH format.
