Abstract
Configuring channel state information configuration parameters can reduce user equipment uplink feedback information. The user equipment can send the uplink feedback information to the network node by adapting the repetition factor based on one or more criteria. The repetition factor can be determined by the user equipment and/or a network node associated with the user equipment. Thus, reducing the frequency of reporting uplink feedback information can reduce power usage, signal interference, and increase battery life.
Claims20
A user equipment, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- determining channel quality data to be sent to first network equipment;
- based on repetition data associated with a first repetition factor applicable to a repetition of sending the channel quality data to the first network equipment, determining the first repetition factor for transmission of feedback data associated with an uplink transmission to the first network equipment via a channel, wherein the first repetition factor is based on a processing capability of second network equipment that is not the first network equipment, and wherein the user equipment is configured with a second repetition value, representative of less repetition than the first repetition value, based on the user equipment being determined to be at a first location in relation to a second location of the second network equipment;
- and
- in response to determining the first repetition factor, transmitting the first repetition factor to the first network equipment, wherein the first repetition factor transmitted to the first network equipment is associated with hybrid automatic repeat request data different from the channel quality data.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- configuring a user equipment to transmit uplink feedback data, associated with an uplink feedback of an uplink control channel of first network equipment, to second network equipment other than the first network equipment;
- based on a criterion associated with a repetition value, determining a first repetition value to be used by the user equipment to repeat a transmission of the uplink feedback data to the second network equipment, wherein the first repetition value transmitted to the second network equipment is associated with hybrid automatic repeat request data different from channel quality data, wherein the first repetition value is associated with a processing capability of the second network equipment, and wherein the configuring comprises configuring the user equipment with a second repetition value lower than the first repetition value based on the user equipment being determined to be at a first location in relation to a second location of the second network equipment;
- and
- in response to determining the first repetition value, transmitting the first repetition value to the user equipment to transmit the uplink feedback data in accordance with the first repetition value.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- configuring a mobile device to transmit uplink feedback data, associated with an uplink feedback of an uplink control channel of first network equipment, to second network equipment other than the first network equipment;
- based on criterion data representative of a criterion associated with a first repetition factor for use with transmitting feedback data via an uplink transmission to the first network equipment, generating the first repetition factor, wherein the first repetition factor is associated with hybrid automatic repeat request data, wherein the first repetition factor is based on a processing capability of the second network equipment, which is not the first network equipment, wherein configuring the mobile device comprises configuring the mobile device with a second repetition factor, which is not the first repetition factor, based on the mobile device being determined to be at a first location in relation to a second location of the second network equipment;
- and
- in response to generating the first repetition factor, sending a transmission, in accordance with the first repetition factor, to the first network equipment.
