Samsung patents rule to keep 5G signal blocks in even pairs
Samsung has filed a patent for a method that organizes how data is sent over 5G networks. The system ensures that groups of frequency channels, called resource blocks, are assigned in even numbers to maintain a specific alignment.
In the filing’s own words
A system and a method are disclosed for processing a first PDSCH, the method includes processing the first PDSCH based on determining that one or more first restrictions apply to the first PDSCH, the one or more first restrictions including restricting a first allocation of resource blocks, such that a number of consecutively scheduled physical resource blocks (PRBs) in a bundle for the first PDSCH is even, or a number of common resource blocks (CRBs) offset from an initial CRB of a CRB grid for a set of consecutively scheduled PRBs for the first PDSCH is even.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method for processing a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the method comprising processing the first PDSCH based on determining that one or more first restrictions apply to the first PDSCH, the one or more first restrictions comprising: restricting a first allocation of resource blocks, such that: a number of consecutively scheduled physical resource blocks (PRBs) in a bundle for the first PDSCH is even; or a number of common resource blocks (CRBs) offset from an initial CRB of a CRB grid for a set of consecutively scheduled PRBs for the first PDSCH is even.
