MULTIPLEXING OF UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (UCI) WITH DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LAYER PRIORITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240178946 titled 'MULTIPLEXING OF UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (UCI) WITH DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LAYER PRIORITIES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment (UE) in a fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) system that multiplexes high-priority (HP) and low-priority (LP) hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) bits onto a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission to a gNode B (gNB). The UE is configured with two different HARQ-ACK codebooks of varying priorities, with the HP bits encoded at a first maximum code rate and the LP bits encoded at a second maximum code rate.

  • User equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) system
  • Multiplexes high-priority (HP) and low-priority (LP) hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) bits onto a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission to a gNode B (gNB)
  • Configured with two different HARQ-ACK codebooks of varying priorities
  • HP bits encoded at a first maximum code rate, LP bits encoded at a second maximum code rate
  • Maximum code rates configured via RRC signaling per PUCCH format

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems to improve the efficiency of HARQ-ACK transmissions and enhance overall system performance.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient multiplexing of HP and LP HARQ-ACK bits onto a PUCCH transmission 2. Prioritization of HARQ-ACK bits based on different codebooks to optimize system resources

Benefits

1. Enhanced reliability and performance of HARQ-ACK transmissions 2. Improved utilization of system resources 3. Flexibility in configuring maximum code rates for different types of HARQ-ACK bits

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could find applications in 5G networks, IoT devices, smart grids, and other wireless communication systems where efficient HARQ-ACK transmission is crucial for system reliability and performance.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of different HARQ-ACK codebooks for prioritizing ACK/NACK feedback in wireless communication systems. Additionally, prior art may exist in the field of multiplexing HARQ-ACK bits onto physical uplink control channels for efficient transmission.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall latency of the system?

The abstract does not provide information on how the multiplexing of HP and LP HARQ-ACK bits affects the latency of the system.

Are there any specific requirements for the gNode B (gNB) to support this multiplexing functionality?

The abstract does not mention any specific requirements or compatibility considerations for the gNB to support the multiplexing of HP and LP HARQ-ACK bits by the UE.


Original Abstract Submitted

a user equipment (ue) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5gnr) system may multiplex high-priority (hp) hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (harq-ack) bits corresponding to a first harq-ack code-book with low-priority (lp) harq-ack bits corresponding to a second harq-ack codebook onto a physical uplink control channel (pucch) transmission to a gnode b (gnb). the ue may be configured with the first harq-ack codebook and the second harq-ack codebook of different priorities. the hp harq-ack bits may be encoded with a first maximum code rate (maxcoderate) and the lp harq-ack bits may be encoded with a second maximum code rate. the maximum code rates may be configured to the ue via rrc signalling per pucch format.
