Systems and methods for grant-free uplink transmission
First Claim
1. A method for uplink data transmission comprising:
- obtaining, by a user equipment (UE), at least one diversity channel for uplink grant free data transmission, the at least one diversity channel comprising uplink grant free transmission resources assigned to the UE, the uplink grant free transmission resources specified by the diversity channel in one or more positions corresponding to partitions of an access region and one or more positions corresponding to resource elements (REs) in each of the partitions of the access region;
transmitting, by the UE, an uplink initial data transmission and a subsequent transmission in the at least one diversity channel without receiving grant information from a network equipment.

Abstract
Communication resources for grant-free transmission are assigned to a User Equipment (UE) in a communication system. A diversity channel for uplink grant-free data transmission includes uplink grant free transmission resources assigned to the UE. The uplink grant-free transmission resources include one or more positions corresponding to partitions of an access region and one or more positions corresponding to resource elements (REs) in each partition of the access region. At a UE, an uplink initial data transmission and a subsequent transmission are transmitted by the UE in the diversity channel without receiving grant information from a network equipment. At a network equipment, the uplink initial data transmission and the subsequent transmission are received in the diversity channel without transmitting grant information to the UE.
