Abstract
Various solutions for frequency hopping design for grant-free transmission with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a frequency hopping pattern from a network node. The apparatus may determine a frequency hopping location according to the frequency hopping pattern. The apparatus may perform an uplink grant-free transmission according to the frequency hopping position. The frequency hopping pattern may comprise user equipment specific information.
Claims12
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of an apparatus, a frequency hopping pattern from a network node;
- determining, by the processor, a frequency hopping location according to the frequency hopping pattern;
- and
- performing, by the processor, an uplink grant-free transmission according to the frequency hopping position,
- wherein the frequency hopping pattern comprises user equipment (UE) specific information, and
- wherein the UE specific information comprises a UE identity (ID), or a group UE ID.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver capable of wirelessly communicating with a plurality of nodes of a wireless network;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver, the processor capable of:
- receiving, via the transceiver, a frequency hopping pattern from a network node;
- determining a frequency hopping location according to the frequency hopping pattern;
- and
- performing an uplink grant-free transmission according to the frequency hopping position,
- wherein the frequency hopping pattern comprises user equipment (UE) specific information, and
- wherein the UE specific information comprises a UE identity (ID), or a group UE ID.
