UE-Initiated Uplink Resource Signaling for Higher Throughput
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing UE-initiated transmissions, particularly in 5G and NR mobile communications, due to the complexity of resource allocation and decoding processes, which affect data throughput and network efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A UE and BS system is designed to facilitate UE-initiated transmissions by allowing the UE to receive and determine resource configurations, transmit signals indicating these configurations, and receive UL grants for subsequent transmissions, while the BS processes these transmissions and grants to optimize resource utilization.

1Productivity
If the UE transmits multiple resource configurations for second transmission, then the network efficiency and data throughput are improved, but the device complexity and decoding process complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the resource configuration information into multiple distinct configurations (first resource configuration, second resource configuration, etc.), each representing different transmission parameters. This segmentation allows the base station to receive and process configurations in an organized manner, improving throughput while managing complexity through structured division of information
Solution Approach 2:
The UE performs preliminary action by determining and indicating the first resource configuration before the actual second transmission occurs. This advance indication allows the base station to prepare decoding processes in advance, reducing real-time complexity while maintaining high throughput efficiency
2Productivity
If the UE initiates transmissions with resource configuration indications, then the network efficiency is improved, but the ease of operation increases for the UE
Solution Approach 1:
The UE performs self-service by autonomously determining resource configurations and initiating transmissions with built-in configuration indications. This self-service capability allows the UE to manage its own resource allocation, improving network efficiency while the standardized procedures maintain operational simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the base station receives the first transmission indicating resource configuration, successfully decodes it, and responds with uplink grants. This feedback loop ensures efficient resource management while providing clear operational guidance to the UE, balancing network efficiency with ease of operation

AI summary
Apparatuses and methods for user equipment (UE) initiated transmissions in a wireless communication system. A method of operating a UE includes receiving first information for resources related to a first transmission, receiving second information for multiple resource configurations related to a second transmission, and determining a first resource configuration from the multiple resource configurations. The method further includes transmitting the first transmission indicating the first resource configuration of the second transmission, transmitting the second transmission, when the second transmission is successfully decoded at a base station (BS), receiving a first signal that includes a first uplink (UL) grant for a third transmission, and transmitting the third transmission based on the first UL grant.
