  • Resource Element (RE) Allocation for Uplink Control Information (UCI) on Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)
    Publication number: 20180206225
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for RE allocation for UCI on PUSCH. In one novel aspect, the UE encodes UCI for transmission on PUSCH in a NR network. The UE allocates UCI REs onto the PUSCH following one or more UCI RE allocation rules including (a) using same logical allocation patterns for both CP-OFDM waveforms and DFT-S-OFDM waveforms, (b) distributing the UCI REs across a time domain of the PUSCH, and (c) distributing the UCI REs across a frequency domain for CP-OFDM or across a virtual-time domain for DFT-S-OFDM. In one embodiment, the HARQ-ACK REs are distributed across the time domain as much as possible. In another embodiment, the allocation of the HARQ-ACK REs further involves calculating the number of HARQ REs dynamically for the HARQ ACK. The number of HARQ REs is based on a weighting parameter, which is either configured or obtained through system information.

  • Mold Movement Control Mechanism And Mold Having The Same
    Publication number: 20180200935
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mold movement control mechanism which is suitable for being assembled in mold to drive the plates of the mold to move. The mold movement control mechanism has a rotatable engaging member and two moving members. In one predetermined travel section, the engaging member is kept unable to rotate. The moving members are then engaged and moved together by the engaging member. After the moving members and the engaging member are moved across the predetermined travel section, the engaging member become rotatable, and the moving members are moved independently. Thus, the mold movement control mechanism can control the positions and travel paths of the moving members without spring. Manufacturing tolerance and maintenance cost could be both lowered.
