Samsung patents 5G method to manage multiple data channels with one signal

Samsung has filed a patent for a method that allows a mobile device to handle data across several wireless channels using a single control signal. The system uses specific fields in the signal to tell the device which channel to adjust its bandwidth on, simplifying the coordination process.

Why it mattersThis is a technical improvement for 5G and 6G networks that helps devices manage data traffic more efficiently, though it does not directly change how users interact with their phones.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates. The present disclosure relates to the operation of a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system. The present disclosure relates to a method and device for a terminal to transmit and receive data through a plurality of cells by using one piece of downlink control information. The method performed by the terminal in the communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: receiving information related to a scheduled cell set through upper layer signaling; receiving downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes a bandwidth part (BWP) indicator field and a frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA) field; identifying, on the basis of the FDRA field, a serving cell to be applied to the BWP indicator field among a plurality of serving cells included in the scheduled cell set; and applying the BWP indicator field to the serving cell.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving, via higher layer signaling, information associated with a scheduled cell set; receiving downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes a bandwidth part (BWP) indicator field and a frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA) field; identifying, based on the FDRA field, a serving cell to be applied to the BWP indicator field among a plurality of serving cells included in the scheduled cell set; and applying the BWP indicator field to the serving cell.
