Grant-Free PUSCH UCI Transmission Priority Rules

The patent implements dynamic priority rules that allow the UE to adaptively switch between transmission modes based on real-time conditions. When URLLC data arrives, the system dynamically prioritizes it over UCI, enabling flexible resource allocation that maintains reliability for time-critical transmissions while preserving overall system productivity through adaptive resource management.

The patent changes the transmission parameters by introducing power sharing mechanisms and priority-based resource allocation. By dynamically adjusting power distribution and resource assignment based on transmission priority, the system resolves collisions between UCI and grant-free PUSCH, ensuring that high-priority URLLC transmissions maintain their reliability while minimizing impact on overall system throughput.

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism in the form of priority rules and power sharing algorithms that mediate between URLLC data transmissions and UCI transmissions. This intermediary layer ensures that when resources conflict, URLLC transmissions receive priority allocation to meet latency requirements, while UCI transmissions are systematically managed through power sharing and scheduling to minimize information loss.

The patent applies partial action by allowing UCI transmission to be partially maintained through power sharing mechanisms. Instead of completely dropping UCI when URLLC prioritization is needed, the system allocates reduced power resources to UCI, enabling partial transmission that preserves critical control information while meeting URLLC latency requirements.

The patent implements self-service through autonomous priority-based resource allocation at the UE level. The UE automatically applies priority rules and power sharing mechanisms without requiring complex network coordination, enabling reliable decoding through local decision-making. This self-service approach maintains high reliability while minimizing system complexity by distributing intelligence to the edge devices.

The patent uses simplified, rule-based power sharing mechanisms that can be implemented with minimal processing overhead. Rather than employing complex adaptive algorithms, the system uses predetermined priority rules and straightforward power allocation strategies that achieve reliable decoding through simple, computationally efficient operations.
