SECONDARY CELL ACTIVATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240251412 titled 'SECONDARY CELL ACTIVATION

The method described in the patent application involves a user equipment (UE) receiving messages from a base station (BS) containing configuration parameters for multiple cells, including a primary physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group and a secondary PUCCH group. The UE then performs operations during the activation of the secondary PUCCH group based on its capabilities or timing advance group configurations.

• The method involves configuring multiple cells and PUCCH groups for efficient communication.
• The UE adapts its operations during the activation of the secondary PUCCH group based on its capabilities or timing advance group configurations.
• This innovation aims to optimize the use of PUCCH resources and improve overall communication efficiency.
• The method enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the UE in handling different PUCCH configurations.
• By dynamically adjusting operations during the activation of the secondary PUCCH group, the UE can improve its performance in various network scenarios.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in cellular networks to enhance uplink communication efficiency. - It can be used in 5G and future generations of mobile networks to optimize resource allocation. - The method can benefit IoT devices and other wireless communication systems requiring efficient uplink transmission.

Problems Solved: - Efficient utilization of PUCCH resources in cellular networks. - Enhancing UE performance during the activation of secondary PUCCH groups. - Improving overall uplink communication efficiency in wireless networks.

Benefits: - Enhanced communication reliability and performance. - Optimized resource allocation for uplink transmission. - Improved adaptability of UEs in handling different PUCCH configurations.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Uplink Communication Optimization in Cellular Networks This technology can be utilized by network operators to improve the efficiency of uplink communication in their cellular networks. It can also benefit device manufacturers looking to enhance the performance of their products in wireless communication environments.
