Samsung patents method to cut data waste in 5G and 6G networks
Samsung has filed a patent for a way to manage data traffic in 5G and 6G networks. The system allows a device to tell the network tower exactly which scheduled data slots it will use, skipping the rest to avoid sending empty or unnecessary signals.
In the filing’s own words
The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method for a user equipment in a communication system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to an uplink (UL) configured grant (CG); identifying a plurality of CG-physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs) on the basis of the configuration information; determining whether or not to transmit each of the plurality of CG-PUSCHs; and transmitting, to the base station, uplink control information (UCI) including information indicating whether or not to transmit each of the plurality of CG-PUSCHs.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method of a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving configuration information related to an uplink (UL) configured grant (CG) from a base station; identifying a plurality of CG physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs) based on the configuration information; determining whether to transmit each of a plurality of CG PUSCHs; and transmitting uplink control information (UCI) including information indicating whether to transmit each of a plurality of CG PUSCHs to the base station.
