Resource Unit Scheduling for High-Frequency Data Transmission

The patent divides the traditional slot-based scheduling unit into smaller resource blocks (RBs) that can be flexibly combined. Each RB contains a specific number of subcarriers and symbols, allowing the system to segment resources according to actual transmission needs rather than being constrained by fixed slot boundaries. This segmentation enables efficient utilization of high SCS configurations while maintaining appropriate transmission durations.

The patent introduces dynamic resource allocation where the number of resource blocks, their positions in frequency and time domains, and their configurations can be adaptively adjusted based on channel conditions, traffic requirements, and SCS settings. This dynamic approach allows the system to optimize the balance between resistance to multipath fading and data transmission efficiency for each transmission scenario.

The patent extends the scheduling dimension from traditional time-domain slot-based allocation to include flexible resource block groupings that span both time and frequency domains. By introducing resource blocks as the basic scheduling unit with configurable numbers of subcarriers and symbols, the system creates an additional degree of freedom in resource allocation, enabling more efficient scheduling without significantly increasing complexity.

The patent designs a universal resource block structure that can accommodate different SCS configurations, transmission types (uplink, downlink, sidelink), and service requirements. The same RB framework serves multiple functions including data transmission, reference signaling, and flexible adaptation to various numerical configurations, maintaining scheduling simplicity while improving efficiency across diverse scenarios.
