THRESHOLD-BASED AND POWER-EFFICIENT SCHEDULING REQUEST PROCEDURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509167 titled 'THRESHOLD-BASED AND POWER-EFFICIENT SCHEDULING REQUEST PROCEDURE

Simplified Explanation

The invention involves improving scheduling request transmission between a UE and a base station by implementing a threshold in the transmission buffer before triggering the transmission of the scheduling request.

  • Postponing scheduling request transmission until data in the transmission buffer reaches a specific amount.
  • Delaying PDDCH monitoring time window after sending a scheduling request.
  • Prioritizing dedicated scheduling request resources of the PUCCH differently to transmit low-priority requests less often.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to enhance the efficiency of scheduling request transmissions, leading to improved network performance and resource utilization.

Problems Solved

1. Enhances the reliability and timeliness of scheduling request transmissions. 2. Optimizes resource allocation and utilization in wireless networks. 3. Reduces unnecessary signaling overhead in the communication system.

Benefits

1. Improved network efficiency and performance. 2. Enhanced user experience with faster and more reliable scheduling request transmissions. 3. Optimal resource management leading to cost savings for network operators.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Scheduling Request Transmission in Wireless Networks

Original Abstract Submitted

The invention relates to methods for improving a scheduling request transmission between a UE and a base station. The transmission of the scheduling request is postponed, by implementing a threshold that the data in the transmission buffer has to reach, before a transmission of the scheduling request is triggered. In one variant, the data in the transmission buffer needs to reach a specific amount, to trigger a scheduling request. The invention refers to further improvements: the PDDCH monitoring time window is delayed after sending a scheduling request; the dedicated scheduling request resources of the PUCCH are prioritized differently such that low-priority scheduling requests are transmitted less often.
