AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in resource allocation, leading to resource wastage and over-provisioning, particularly in lower bandwidth scenarios where the number of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) is limited.

Method used

A system and method for dynamically allocating physical uplink resources based on real-time network conditions, traffic demands, and channel quality, specifically by determining the number of downlink slots corresponding to an uplink slot, calculating the number of scheduled UEs per slot, and allocating the necessary physical uplink resources, including PUCCH Format 0 and PUCCH Format 2 resources, to UEs in the network.

Benefits of technology

This approach enables more efficient use of PUCCH resources, particularly in lower bandwidth scenarios, allowing for the serving of a higher number of UEs without unnecessary PRB allocation, thereby optimizing network performance and reducing resource wastage.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system(108) and a method(600) for allocating physical uplink resources to one or more user equipment (UEs)(104) in a network(106). The method(600) comprising determining(602), by a radio resource management (RRM) unit(212), a number of downlink (DL) slots corresponding to an uplink (UL) slot. The method(600) comprising calculating(606), by the RRM unit(212), a number of UEs(104) scheduled for each DL slot. The method(600) comprising calculating(606), by the RRM unit(212), a number of physical uplink resources by processing the number of determined DL slots and the number of calculated UEs(104). The method(600) comprising allocating(608), by a medium access control (MAC) unit(214), the number of calculated physical uplink resources to the one or more UEs(104) in the network(106) based on a number of parameters.
