Application: User equipment, base station and wireless communication method (Patent ID: US20230422267A1)
The patent filed by Panasonic Holdings Corp. pertains to user equipment, base station, and wireless communication methods related to uplink control information mapping in NR. The user equipment includes circuitry to map Uplink Control Information (UCI) to available resource elements based on their distances from reference signal elements in time, frequency, and spatial domains. The transmitter then sends the UCI and reference signals in Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to the base station using the mapped PRBs. The claims detail the structure and operation of an integrated circuit and communication apparatus for receiving and demodulating HARQ-ACK bits, CSI bits, and data in PUSCH using CP-OFDM in 14 OFDM symbols. The HARQ-ACK bits are mapped to specific OFDM symbols and resource elements within allocated blocks, with specific rules for mapping near demodulation reference signals and CSI bits.
The patent focuses on optimizing the mapping of uplink control information in NR systems to enhance communication efficiency and reliability. By strategically mapping HARQ-ACK bits, CSI bits, and data to specific OFDM symbols and resource elements, the integrated circuit and communication apparatus aim to improve the overall performance of the wireless communication system. The method outlined in the patent ensures that the UCI is efficiently transmitted to the base station, contributing to the seamless operation of user equipment in NR technology.
