BASE STATION, TERMINAL, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529873 titled 'BASE STATION, TERMINAL, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a base station capable of configuring data assignment, transmission, and reception timings when the lengths of downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) short transmission time intervals (sTTI) are different.

  • The transmission section transmits a downlink signal using a first sTTI shorter than a TTI.
  • The reception section receives an uplink signal using a second sTTI shorter than the TTI.
  • When the first sTTI is shorter than the second sTTI, the reception section receives the uplink signal after a predetermined interval from the transmission timing of the downlink signal, based on the length of the first sTTI.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G and future wireless communication systems
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices with varying data transmission requirements

Problems Solved

  • Efficient data transmission and reception in systems with different DL and UL sTTI lengths
  • Optimized timing configurations for improved network performance

Benefits

  • Enhanced data transfer efficiency
  • Reduced latency in data transmission
  • Improved overall network performance

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunication companies
  • IoT device manufacturers

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include patents related to timing configurations in wireless communication systems or base stations.

Original Abstract Submitted

A base station is disclosed, which is capable of appropriately configuring the timings of data assignment, data transmission and reception, and feedback for a case where the DL and UL sTTI lengths are different from each other. In this base station (), a transmission section () transmits a downlink signal using a first short transmission time interval (sTTI) shortened in length than a TTI and used for downlink; and a reception section () receives an uplink signal using a second sTTI shortened in length than the TTI and used for uplink. When the first sTTI is shorter in length than the second sTTI, the reception section () receives the uplink signal in the second sTTI positioned after a predetermined interval from the transmission timing of the downlink signal, the predetermined interval being configured based on the length of the first sTTI.
