Multi-TB Interleaving Transmission With Coordinated Frequency Hopping

The patent segments the transmission process into multiple Transmission Blocks (TBs) that can be independently scheduled and transmitted in different subframes. Each TB contains a portion of the total data, allowing the system to divide the repeated transmission task into manageable units that can be coordinated without causing resource conflicts. This segmentation enables coverage enhancement through repeated transmissions while maintaining resource allocation efficiency.

The patent introduces dynamic scheduling mechanisms where the network can flexibly allocate subframes and resources based on channel conditions and transmission requirements. The system dynamically adjusts transmission parameters such as modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for each TB, allowing optimized resource utilization during repeated transmissions. This dynamic approach resolves resource conflicts while maintaining the coverage enhancement benefits of repetition.

The patent segments the transmission into multiple TBs that are interleaved across different subframes and time slots. Each TB is transmitted at different times with potentially different channel conditions, creating time diversity. The segmentation allows independent processing and scheduling of each TB while maintaining overall coordination through the interleaving structure, thus achieving time diversity gain without excessive complexity.

The patent employs periodic transmission patterns where TBs are transmitted in regular intervals across multiple subframes. This periodic structure simplifies coordination by establishing predictable transmission schedules that can be easily synchronized between transmitter and receiver. The periodic action creates consistent time diversity patterns while reducing the complexity of coordination compared to arbitrary transmission scheduling.

The patent segments the frequency spectrum into multiple narrowbands that can be assigned to different TBs. Each TB can be allocated specific frequency resources through frequency hopping, creating frequency diversity. The segmentation allows independent frequency allocation for each TB while maintaining overall resource management through structured hopping patterns, thus achieving frequency diversity gain without excessive allocation complexity.

The patent dynamically changes frequency allocation parameters for each TB based on channel conditions and transmission requirements. The system adjusts frequency hopping patterns and narrowband assignments to optimize frequency diversity while managing resource allocation complexity through parameter-based control. This approach enables flexible frequency resource utilization that balances diversity gains with allocation simplicity.
