MULTI-CARRIER COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18433634 titled 'MULTI-CARRIER COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and apparatus for controlling multi-carrier communication, specifically adjusting the uplink sending time duty cycle of a terminal in each carrier frequency band.

  • The method involves obtaining the maximum uplink sending time duty cycle capabilities of terminals in different carrier frequency bands.
  • The network-side device then adjusts the actual uplink sending time of the terminal in each carrier frequency band to achieve the desired uplink sending time duty cycle.
  • This allows for efficient utilization of resources and optimization of communication in multi-carrier environments.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • 5G communication systems
  • IoT devices with multiple carrier frequency bands

Problems Solved

  • Efficient resource allocation in multi-carrier communication
  • Optimization of uplink sending time duty cycle for improved performance

Benefits

  • Enhanced communication reliability
  • Improved network efficiency
  • Better utilization of available bandwidth

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing communication in:

  • Smart cities
  • Industrial IoT networks

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of carrier aggregation techniques in LTE-Advanced networks to combine multiple carriers for increased data rates.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method impact battery life of communication devices?

The abstract does not mention the potential impact of adjusting uplink sending time on the battery life of terminals.

What are the specific technical requirements for implementing this method?

Details regarding the technical specifications and compatibility requirements for devices to support this method are not provided in the abstract.


Original Abstract Submitted

A multi-carrier communication control method and apparatus, and a communication device. The method includes: obtaining, by a network-side device, a capability of a maximum uplink sending time duty cycle that is supported by the terminal in each carrier frequency band and a capability of a maximum uplink sending time duty cycle that is supported by the terminal in a carrier frequency band combination corresponding to multiple carrier frequency bands; and adjusting, by the network-side device, an actual uplink sending time of the terminal in each carrier frequency band to obtain an actual uplink sending time duty cycle of the terminal in each carrier frequency band.
