Samsung patents method to boost 5G signal strength for uplink data

Samsung has been granted a patent for a method that helps mobile devices send data back to cell towers more reliably in 5G networks. The technique involves repeating the transmission of data packets in specific time slots that have enough available space, ensuring the signal reaches the base station even if the connection is weak.

Why it mattersThis improvement could help maintain stable connections for devices like smart cars or home sensors that rely on sending small amounts of data to the cloud.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique merging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security- and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The disclosure provides a method for improving the coverage of an uplink channel for uplink transmission.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method of a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving uplink-downlink resource configuration information related to cross division duplex (XDD) from a base station; receiving configuration information for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitive transmission from the base station; determining an available slot for the PUSCH repetitive transmission based on the uplink-downlink resource configuration information and the configuration information for the PUSCH repetitive transmission; identifying a slot in which a number of uplink resource elements (RE) is greater than or equal to a first preconfigured number, among slots excluding the available slot for the PUSCH repetitive transmission; and transmitting the PUSCH repetitive transmission to the base station in the available slot and in the slot where the number of uplink REs is greater than or equal to the first preconfigured number.
