Partial Transmission to Support Extended Reality (XR) Traffic - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240196424 titled 'Partial Transmission to Support Extended Reality (XR) Traffic

The abstract describes a patent application for a transmitting device that sends a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) containing multiple MAC subPDUs to a second device. If the second device indicates that the MAC PDU was received incorrectly, the transmitting device will use a partial transmission scheme to retransmit the MAC PDU.

• The transmitting device sends a MAC PDU with multiple MAC subPDUs to a second device.
• If the second device indicates that the MAC PDU was received incorrectly, the transmitting device will use a partial transmission scheme for retransmission.
• The transmitting device will inform the second device that the partial transmission scheme will be used for retransmission.
• The MAC PDU will be retransmitted using the partial transmission scheme to ensure correct reception.

Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Industrial automation

Problems Solved: - Ensures reliable transmission of data in wireless communication systems - Improves the efficiency of data transmission in IoT devices - Enhances the reliability of communication in industrial automation settings

Benefits: - Reduces data transmission errors - Increases overall system reliability - Improves data transmission efficiency

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Data Transmission System for Wireless Communication" This technology can be used in various industries such as telecommunications, smart home devices, and industrial control systems to improve data transmission reliability and efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the partial transmission scheme improve data transmission reliability? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of using a partial transmission scheme in wireless communication systems?

Original Abstract Submitted

a transmitting device is configured to transmit, to a second device, a medium access control (mac) protocol data unit (pdu) comprising a plurality of mac subpdus, each mac subpdu comprising at least one of a subheader, a mac service data unit (sdu) or a mac control element (ce), receive, from the second device, feedback indicating that the mac pdu was received incorrectly, determine that a partial transmission scheme criteria is satisfied, transmit, to the second device, an indication that the partial transmission scheme is to be used to retransmit the mac pdu and retransmit, to the second device, the mac pdu using the partial transmission scheme.
