Grouping Descriptor for Transport Block PDU Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently processing transport blocks due to the need to process each protocol data unit (PDU) individually, which consumes significant processing resources and power.
Innovation Solution
The method involves generating a grouping descriptor for a transport block that indicates grouping information for multiple PDUs, allowing the receiver network node to process the transport block based on this grouping information rather than processing each PDU separately.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each PDU in the transport block is processed individually, then complete processing accuracy is achieved, but processing resources and power consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual PDU processing operations into a single group-level processing operation. By introducing a grouping descriptor that identifies groups of PDUs sharing common characteristics, the system processes entire groups simultaneously rather than individually, reducing redundant operations while maintaining complete processing accuracy for all PDUs within the group.
Solution Approach 2:
The grouping descriptor serves multiple functions: it identifies groups of PDUs, characterizes common properties of grouped PDUs, and enables batch processing operations. This multi-functional element allows the system to handle diverse PDU types through a unified processing mechanism, reducing overall processing complexity and power consumption.
2Reliability
If each PDU in the transport block is processed individually, then complete processing accuracy is achieved, but processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual PDU processing operations into a single group-level processing operation. By introducing a grouping descriptor that identifies groups of PDUs sharing common characteristics, the system processes entire groups simultaneously rather than individually, reducing redundant operations while maintaining complete processing accuracy for all PDUs within the group.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the transport block into logical groups of PDUs based on common characteristics identified in the grouping descriptor. This segmentation allows the system to apply different processing strategies to different groups, simplifying the overall processing complexity by breaking down the monolithic task of processing all PDUs individually into manageable group-level operations.
3Productivity
If grouping information is added to the transport block, then processing efficiency is improved, but the size of the transport block increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential grouping information needed for efficient processing and places it in a compact grouping descriptor structure. Rather than including complete PDU details for each PDU in the transport block, the system extracts key characteristics (such as group identifiers and common properties) into a condensed format that enables batch processing while occupying minimal space within the transport block.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter network node may generate a grouping descriptor, for a transport block, that indicates grouping information for a plurality of protocol data units (PDUs) in the transport block. The transmitter network node may transmit the grouping descriptor with the transport block. Numerous other aspects are described.
