  • Transport Block Size Determination for Equal Size Code Blocks
    Publication number: 20200322089
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method for use in a wireless receiver comprises determining a transport block size, TBS, for a transport block to be communicated between the wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver via a physical channel transmission. The TBS determination uses a formula accounting for cyclic redundancy check, CRC, bits. The method further comprises transmitting the transport block according to the determined TBS. In particular embodiments the formula is based on an approximate transport block size, a number of code blocks, at least one of a number of CRC bits attached to the transport block, and a number of CRC bits added to each of the C code blocks.

  • Collision handling between legacy TTI and short TTI
    Patent number: 10674531
    Abstract: Systems and methods for collision handling between transmissions using a first Transmission Time Interval (TTI) and transmissions using a second TTI, such as a legacy TTI and a short TTI (sTTI), are provided. In some embodiments, the proposed solution helps the UE handle collisions between transmissions using legacy TTI in UL and overlapping transmissions using short TTI in UL. In some embodiments, this is accomplished by a wireless device adapted for uplink transmissions using a first TTI or a second TTI where the second TTI is shorter than the first TTI. The method includes altering at least one transmission of a first transmission using the first TTI and a second transmission using the second TTI based on a determination that a collision is to occur between the first transmission and the second transmission.

  • Method and apparatus for separate scheduling of uplink data and reference signal transmissions in a communication network
    Patent number: 10659205
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the teachings herein, a base station (20) schedules the transmission of uplink reference signals by a wireless device (16) separately from scheduling uplink data transmissions by the device (16). The separate scheduling may be done at specific times, under specific conditions, and with respect to specific devices (16) or groups of devices (16). Separate scheduling allows, for example, the base station (20) to use smaller scheduling intervals that are possible when uplink reference signals are integrally included in any scheduled uplink data transmission. As a further advantage, the density or number of uplink reference signal transmissions by a given device (16) can be adapted, e.g., based on channel conditions, data transmission formats, etc.
