Abstract: A new approach is proposed to increase uplink traffic throughput of a time division duplex (TDD) system, e.g., a TD-LTE (A) system, by configuring a plurality of PUCCH parameters for an UE in the TDD system. Specifically, the PUCCH parameters of an uplink channel between the UE in the TDD system are configured and stored in the UE and a base station/cell (eNodeB) of the TDD system in such a manner that the PUCCH region utilized by the UE is restricted to only a few RBs and the PUSCH region of the uplink channel is maximized in terms of RBs available for transmission over the uplink channel, thereby increasing the uplink throughput at the eNodeB level of the TD-LTE (A) system. The configured PUCCH parameters include channel quality indicator (CQI) information/report, which is an indicator carrying the information on how good/bad the communication channel quality is in the TDD system.

The method includes receiving information related to an index of a PUCCH resource set for the PUCCH and to the number of resource blocks (RBs) for the PUCCH, and transmitting the PUCCH through a PUCCH resource based on a first RB offset. A second RB offset of the PUCCH resource set is obtained based on the index, and the first RB offset is obtained by multiplying the number of RBs by the second RB offset.

Abstract: A method and node for processing messages within an Internet of Things (IoT) network and network packet thereof are provided. Multiple fields of a header of a network packet broadcasted over the IoT network are referred to in the method. When a node receives a network packet broadcasted over the IOT network, it checks if the node's ID is recorded in an ID field of the network packet. The node ID is added to the network packet if the network packet does not record the node ID, and the network packet is then broadcasted to the IOT network; otherwise, the network packet is not broadcasted if the node ID has been recorded in the ID field. The node also performs a function indicated in a function field of the network packet when the node ID is not recorded in the network packet.
