5G Uplink Resource Allocation Using Time-Based Channel Priority

The patent extracts the essential function of logical channel prioritization by using a simplified priority list mechanism instead of complex dynamic prioritization algorithms. The core functionality is maintained while removing unnecessary complexity through a predefined priority structure that is easier to implement and process.

The patent introduces dynamic priority adjustment based on time duration parameters. The priority list is not fixed but can be dynamically modified based on real-time conditions, allowing the system to adapt to changing network conditions while maintaining simplicity through rule-based adjustments rather than complex optimization algorithms.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring priority lists and resource allocation parameters before the random access process begins. This allows the terminal to make faster decisions during the access process by referring to pre-established priorities rather than performing complex real-time calculations, thereby reducing delay time while maintaining connection establishment reliability.

The patent segments the random access process into distinct phases with specific priority handling at each stage. By dividing the access process and applying priority rules at specific segmentation points, the system reduces overall delay while ensuring reliable connection establishment through structured progression through defined stages.

The patent applies partial action by implementing multiple connections only when necessary and to the extent needed for reliable handover. Rather than maintaining full complexity of multiple connections always, the system uses them selectively during handover scenarios, reducing processing load during normal operation while maintaining handover reliability when required.

The patent uses parameter changes to manage handover processing. By dynamically adjusting connection parameters and priority levels based on handover conditions, the system achieves reliable handover without maintaining constant high processing load. The parameters are modified only when handover is detected or anticipated, reducing overall processing requirements.

The patent applies periodic action through time-based priority adjustments and resource allocation cycles. Instead of continuous high-priority processing, the system uses periodic priority list updates and time-duration-based resource allocation, allowing the terminal to enter lower-power states between periodic operations while maintaining efficient uplink data transmission during active periods.

The patent introduces dynamic priority adjustment based on time duration parameters that allows the terminal to optimize battery consumption. By adjusting priority levels dynamically based on actual transmission time requirements and network conditions, the system achieves efficient data transmission while reducing unnecessary processing and associated energy consumption during low-activity periods.
