Abstract

La présente invention concerne une technologie d'évitement de collision pour un canal de commande de liaison montante physique évolué (xPUCCH) qui est transmis dans des parties non-bord d'une bande de fréquence. En raison de la flexibilité avec laquelle les blocs de ressources physiques (PRB) peuvent être alloués pour le canal xPUCCH d'un système de cinquième génération (5G), des collisions de ressources avec un canal partagé de liaison montante physique (PUSCH) ou un signal de référence de sondage (SRS) peuvent potentiellement se produire. Des modes de réalisation de la présente invention fournissent des technologies qui permettent d'éviter de telles collisions dans des schémas d'allocation de blocs de ressources localisés distribués par paire et distribués par grappes.
