DYNAMICALLY RECONFIGURABLE UPLINK RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18576917 titled 'DYNAMICALLY RECONFIGURABLE UPLINK RESOURCES

The patent application describes methods for configuring uplink (UL) resources for a cell of a wireless network. These methods involve configuring each UL resource for the cell as either a static physical UL control channel (PUCCH) resource, a static physical UL shared channel (PUSCH) resource, or a dynamic resource initially configured as a PUSCH resource.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Configuring UL resources as PUCCH, PUSCH, or dynamic resources based on network requirements.
  • Reconfiguring dynamic resources as PUCCH resources when the number of connected UEs increases above certain thresholds.
  • Reconfiguring dynamic resources as PUCCH resources when specific criteria associated with downlink data are met by connected UEs.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in wireless networks to efficiently manage UL resources based on network conditions and user requirements.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of optimizing UL resource allocation in wireless networks to ensure efficient communication and data transmission.

Benefits:

  • Improved resource utilization in wireless networks.
  • Enhanced network performance and reliability.
  • Dynamic adaptation to changing network conditions.

Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies, network operators, and equipment manufacturers to enhance the efficiency and performance of wireless networks.

Questions about UL Resource Configuration: 1. How does this technology improve the overall performance of wireless networks? 2. What are the specific criteria used to determine when to reconfigure dynamic resources as PUCCH resources?

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in this field focuses on further optimizing UL resource allocation algorithms and enhancing network capacity and efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments include methods for configuring uplink (UL) resources for a cell of a wireless network. Such methods include configuring each of a plurality of UL resources for the cell as one of the following: a static physical UL control channel (PUCCH) resource. a static physical UL shared channel (PUSCH) resource. or a dynamic resource. being initially configured as a PUSCH resource. Such methods include, when a number of UEs that are connected to the cell increases above a first threshold. reconfiguring one of the dynamic resources as a PUCCH resource according to a first PUCCH format. Such methods include. when a number of UEs connected to the cell that meet at least one criteria associated with downlink (DL) data increases above a second threshold, reconfiguring one of the dynamic resources as a PUCCH resource according to a second PUCCH format. Other embodiments include network nodes configured to perform such methods.
