Uplink Control Resource Allocation for LTE PUSCH

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of control signals from data signals. Control signals are allocated specific resource elements with dedicated power control and coding schemes, while data signals use different parameters. This allows each type of signal to have optimized characteristics suitable for its specific requirements, with control signals receiving priority protection through separate resource allocation and power control mechanisms.

The patent changes multiple parameters simultaneously to resolve the contradiction: it adjusts the power control parameters for control signals separately from data signals, modifies resource element allocation patterns to reserve specific elements for control, and adapts coding rates dynamically based on channel conditions and signal type. These parameter changes enable the system to maintain high resource utilization while ensuring control signals meet their strict BER requirements.

The patent implements dynamic resource allocation where the amount of resources dedicated to control signals is not fixed but adapts based on channel conditions, traffic load, and quality requirements. The system dynamically adjusts the number of resource elements, power allocation, and coding parameters for control signals in real-time, allowing optimal balance between control quality and data efficiency under varying operational conditions.

The patent applies partial action by allocating resources to control signals proportionally based on their actual needs rather than reserving excessive fixed resources. The system calculates the minimum necessary resources for control signals to meet BER targets and allocates accordingly, avoiding over-provisioning that would unnecessarily reduce data transmission capacity. This partial allocation approach maintains efficiency while ensuring sufficient control signal quality.
