  • Patent number: 11683821
    Abstract: In general terms, network resource allocation takes place within a wireless communication channel in which resource is defined with respect to time and frequency; a resource allocation process involves joint allocation of resource for communication to and from group of devices, to enable a cyclic exchange of information between the devices and a base-station and thus to enable wireless closed loop control of the device. By jointly allocating resources in one go, overheads are reduced thereby providing a more efficient resource allocation mechanism. Furthermore, bundled transmissions are scheduled, including repetitions of transmissions to increase the likelihood of transmission success. By determining a minimum bundle length required to meet a predefined threshold for received signal quality, the reliability of the transmissions can be ensured.
