MULTIPLEXING INFORMATION WITH DIFFERENT PRIORITY VALUES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18475133 titled 'MULTIPLEXING INFORMATION WITH DIFFERENT PRIORITY VALUES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for multiplexing information with different priority values in a user equipment (UE). Specifically, it focuses on multiplexing hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with different priority values.

Key points of the patent/application:

  • The method involves determining the maximum number of resource elements (REs) available for multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH.
  • The maximum number of REs is determined by scaling the total number of REs available for multiplexing, using a factor.
  • The factor has different values depending on the priority value of the first HARQ-ACK information.
  • The first priority value corresponds to the first value of the factor, while the second priority value corresponds to the second value of the factor.
  • The method further includes multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH over a number of REs that is smaller than or equal to the maximum number of REs, and transmitting the PUSCH.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems: This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to efficiently multiplex HARQ-ACK information with different priority values, improving overall system performance.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): The methods and apparatuses described in the patent/application can be utilized in IoT devices to enhance the reliability and efficiency of communication between devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient resource allocation: By determining the maximum number of REs based on priority values, this technology enables efficient allocation of resources for multiplexing HARQ-ACK information.
  • Prioritization of information: Different priority values allow for the prioritization of HARQ-ACK information, ensuring that critical information is transmitted with higher reliability.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved system performance: By efficiently multiplexing HARQ-ACK information, this technology can enhance the overall performance of wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced reliability: Prioritizing HARQ-ACK information based on different priority values ensures that critical information is transmitted with higher reliability, improving the overall reliability of communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for multiplexing information with different priority values. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) includes determining a maximum number of resource elements (REs) of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for multiplexing first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information. The maximum number of REs is determined by scaling, with a factor, a total number of REs available for multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH. The PUSCH has a first priority value. The factor has a first value when the first HARQ-ACK information has the first priority value. The factor has a second value when the first HARQ-ACK information has a second priority value. The method further includes multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH over a number of REs that is smaller than or equal to the maximum number of REs and transmitting the PUSCH.
