UE Resource Skipping Configuration for Unused Transmission Opportunities
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in resource allocation due to network nodes configuring unused transmission opportunities (UTO) without considering UE-local information, leading to resource waste, increased signaling overhead, and delayed reallocation, resulting in reduced data throughput and increased transfer delays.
Innovation Solution
User Equipment (UE) selects a resource skipping configuration based on available information, transmitting a UE-selected resource skipping configuration to the network node, allowing for more efficient resource usage by updating UTO configurations and reducing delays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If network nodes configure unused transmission opportunities (UTO) without UE-local information, then resource allocation is simplified, but resource usage efficiency deteriorates and resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The UE autonomously selects and reports resource skipping configurations based on its local buffer status and traffic characteristics, eliminating the need for complex network-side configuration while optimizing resource usage. The UE serves itself by making intelligent decisions about which resources to skip based on its actual data transmission needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The UE provides feedback to the network node about its buffer status and preferred resource skipping configurations through control information messages. This feedback mechanism enables the network to adjust resource allocations dynamically based on real-time UE conditions, improving resource usage efficiency without increasing overall system complexity.
2Extent of automation
If network nodes manage UTO configurations centrally, then control is simplified, but signaling overhead increases and reallocation delays occur
Solution Approach 1:
The UE pre-configures and reports its preferred resource skipping configurations in advance before actual resource reallocation is needed. By preparing this information beforehand and maintaining it in a standardized format, the network can quickly process and apply resource reallocations without lengthy signaling exchanges, reducing reallocation delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts resource skipping configurations based on changing UE buffer status and traffic conditions. The UE can update its preferred configurations in real-time, and the network can adaptively allocate resources accordingly, creating a dynamic response mechanism that minimizes delays while maintaining automated control.
3Productivity
If more air interface resources are allocated to ensure data transmission, then data throughput is improved, but resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of resource skipping configuration based on UE buffer status and traffic characteristics. By adjusting which time resources are skipped and which are used, the system optimizes the balance between ensuring sufficient data transmission capacity and avoiding allocation of unnecessary resources, thereby improving throughput efficiency and reducing waste.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first indication of one or more resource allocations that are assigned to the UE. The UE may transmit a second indication of a UE-selected resource skipping configuration that is based at least in part on the one or more resource allocations. Numerous other aspects are described.
