DYNAMIC POWER REDUCTION REQUESTS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18675548 titled 'DYNAMIC POWER REDUCTION REQUESTS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods and systems for controlling the uplink transmission power of a user equipment (UE) electronic device in a wireless network.

  • The UE electronic device determines when the maximum power availability for transmission is not suitable for current conditions.
  • Upon this determination, the UE sends a request to the wireless network node to reduce power for communication.
  • The UE then communicates at a reduced power level for interactions with the wireless network node.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Dynamic control of uplink transmission power based on current conditions.
  • Requesting power reduction from the wireless network node.
  • Efficient power management for communication between UE and the network.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems to optimize power usage and enhance network performance.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensuring appropriate power levels for transmission in varying conditions.
  • Improving power efficiency in wireless communication.
  • Enhancing overall network reliability and performance.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced power management leading to improved battery life for devices.
  • Better network performance and reliability.
  • Optimal power allocation based on real-time conditions.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in mobile devices, IoT systems, and other wireless communication devices to improve power efficiency and network performance, potentially leading to cost savings and enhanced user experience.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the battery life of mobile devices? 2. What are the potential implications of reduced power transmission on network performance and reliability?


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems for controlling uplink (UL) transmission power of a user equipment (UE) electronic device includes determining, using the UE electronic device, that a maximum power availability for a transmission between the UE and a wireless network node is not appropriate to current conditions. Based on the determination that maximum power availability is not appropriate the UE electronic device sends a request to the wireless network node to reduce power for communication with the wireless network node. Based on the request, the UE electronic device communicates at a reduced power level for communications with the wireless network node.
