FLEXIBLE CONTROL INFORMATION REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18499610 titled 'FLEXIBLE CONTROL INFORMATION REPORTING

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method for flexible control information reporting in a wireless communication network by mapping HARQ processes to locations in an uplink control channel payload. Acknowledgment information for selected HARQ processes can be included in the payload based on the mapping, with the remaining portion of the payload available for other control information.

  • Explanation of the patent/innovation:
 * HARQ processes are mapped to specific locations in the payload of an uplink control channel.
 * Acknowledgment information for selected HARQ processes can be included in the payload based on the mapping.
 * The remaining portion of the payload can be used for other control information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in: - 5G and beyond wireless networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Autonomous vehicles communication systems

Problems Solved

- Efficient utilization of uplink control channel payload - Flexibility in reporting control information - Enhanced reliability in wireless communication networks

Benefits

- Improved data transmission efficiency - Enhanced network performance - Better user experience in wireless communication

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Uplink Control Channel Payload Mapping for Enhanced Wireless Communication

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of HARQ processes in wireless communication networks to improve reliability and efficiency.

What are the potential security implications of implementing this technology?

Implementing this technology could potentially lead to vulnerabilities in the control information reporting process, which could be exploited by malicious entities to disrupt communication or intercept sensitive data.

How does this technology compare to existing methods of control information reporting in wireless communication networks?

This technology offers a more flexible and efficient approach to control information reporting by mapping HARQ processes to specific locations in the uplink control channel payload. Existing methods may not provide the same level of granularity and optimization in utilizing the available payload space.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a mechanism for flexible control information reporting within a wireless communication network by mapping a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes to respective locations in a payload format of an uplink control channel. In response to receiving a request to transmit acknowledgment information corresponding to one or more selected HARQ processes, the acknowledgment information corresponding to the one or more selected HARQ processes may be included in the respective locations of the payload of a current uplink control channel based on the mapping. A remaining portion of the payload of the current uplink control channel may be flexibly utilized for other control information.
