Autonomous wireless transmissions

Abstract

The present disclosure generally discloses an autonomous wireless transmission mechanism. The autonomous wireless transmission mechanism may be configured to support autonomous transmissions by wireless end devices to wireless access nodes in a connectionless manner. In general, an autonomous wireless transmission by a wireless end device may include transmission of a preamble in a preamble transmission zone and autonomous transmission of a payload over one or more resource units of one or more payload transmission zones without requiring establishment of a connection between the wireless enddevice and the wireless access node. The autonomous wireless transmission mechanism, by obviating the need for a wireless end device to establish a connection with a wireless access node in order to transmit data to the wireless access node, also obviates a need for the wireless end device to operate in a scheduled transmission mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of communication systems, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to wireless communication systems. Background technique [0002] Over the past two decades, wide-area cellular networks have largely evolved from primarily circuit-mode voice to scheduled broadband packet data access over the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) air interface. This evolution has primarily focused on improving data throughput and latency for broadband applications, but short packet access envisioned for various types of wireless machine type communications (MTC) such as the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as various other types of wireless communications. input type, there are several disadvantages (eg, high scheduling overhead, limited coverage, low battery life, etc.). Contents of the invention [0003] The present disclosure generally discloses an autonomous wireless transmission mechanism for supporting connecti...
