CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME (COT) INITIATION FOR CROSS-FIXED FRAME PERIOD (FFP) SCHEDULING OF UPLINK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18557638 titled 'CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME (COT) INITIATION FOR CROSS-FIXED FRAME PERIOD (FFP) SCHEDULING OF UPLINK COMMUNICATIONS
The abstract of this patent application describes a method of wireless communication where a user equipment (UE) receives downlink communication information (DCI) from a base station (BS) in a first fixed frame period (FFP), indicating a scheduled uplink (UL) communication in a subsequent FFP. The UE then monitors for a downlink signal in the second FFP and transmits based on the monitoring and a parameter indicating the type of channel occupancy time associated with the scheduled UL communication.
- The UE receives DCI from the BS in the first FFP.
- DCI indicates a scheduled UL communication in the next FFP.
- The UE monitors for a DL signal in the second FFP.
- The UE transmits based on monitoring and a parameter indicating channel occupancy time.
- The scheduled UL communication is then sent.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems to optimize uplink transmissions based on downlink signals. - It can enhance the efficiency and reliability of communication between UEs and BSs in cellular networks.
Problems Solved: - Efficient scheduling of uplink communications based on downlink signals. - Improved utilization of network resources in wireless communication systems.
Benefits: - Enhanced communication reliability and efficiency. - Optimal use of channel occupancy time for uplink transmissions.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized in 5G and future wireless networks to improve overall network performance and user experience.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this method improve the overall efficiency of wireless communication systems? 2. What are the potential implications of implementing this technology in existing cellular networks?
Original Abstract Submitted
In a method of wireless communication, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS) in a first fixed frame period (FFP), downlink communication information (DCI), where the DCI indicates a scheduled uplink (UL) communication in a second FFP subsequent to the first FFP. The UE monitors for a downlink (DL) signal in the second FFP, and transmits, to the BS based on the monitoring and a first parameter indicating whether the scheduled UL communication is associated with a BS channel occupancy time (COT) or a UE COT, the scheduled UL communication.
