Linked Periodic Resource Grants for Reliable Wireless Repetition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in improving the reliability of periodic resource grants, particularly in 5G NR, where configured grants and semi-persistent scheduling grants are not effectively utilized to enhance communication reliability.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves linking multiple periodic resource grants for repetition, allowing for improved resource utilization by combining resources based on defined parameters such as time and frequency allocation, thereby enhancing communication reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple periodic resource grants are used for communication, then resource utilization improves, but communication reliability does not improve sufficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple periodic resource grants (first periodic resource grant and second periodic resource grant) into a unified resource pool that can be flexibly allocated. The network node configures the UE to use multiple resource grants simultaneously, merging their capabilities to provide both improved resource utilization and enhanced communication reliability through diverse resource allocation options.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal resource grant mechanism that can serve multiple functions: periodic resource allocation, aperiodic resource allocation, and flexible resource pooling. The configured grants are designed to be multi-functional, allowing the same resource grant structure to support different communication scenarios and reliability requirements through parameter configuration.
2Device complexity
If periodic resource grants are configured with fixed parameters, then resource allocation is simple, but flexibility in adapting to varying communication needs is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic parameters into periodic resource grants, allowing resource allocation to adapt to varying communication conditions. The network node can modify grant parameters such as periodicity, resource blocks, and time slots based on current network state and UE requirements, transforming static resource allocation into a dynamic system that maintains simplicity while achieving flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes to achieve flexibility in resource allocation. By configuring multiple periodic resource grants with different parameters (periods, resource block allocations, time offsets) and allowing dynamic adjustment of these parameters, the system can adapt to varying communication needs without fundamentally changing the resource allocation structure, maintaining simplicity while achieving versatility.

AI summary
Aspects described herein relate to receiving, from a network node, a configuration indicating one or more parameters for linking periodic resource grant resources for communication in a wireless network, receiving a first periodic resource grant indicating first resources for communicating in the wireless network, receiving a second periodic resource grant indicating second resources, different from the first resources, for communicating in the wireless network, and transmitting or receiving, based on the one or more parameters indicating to link the first resources and the second resources, same data over the first resources and the second resources. Other aspects relate to transmitting the configuration and the periodic resource grants.
