Abstract:
A method embodiment includes implementing, by a base station (BS), a grant-free uplink transmission scheme. The grant-free uplink transmission scheme defines a first contention transmission unit (CTU) access region in a time-frequency domain, defines a plurality of CTUs, defines a default CTU mapping scheme by mapping at least some of the plurality of CTUs to the first CTU access region, and defines a default user equipment (UE) mapping scheme by defining rules for mapping a plurality of UEs to the plurality of CTUs.

Claim (Index 17):
A base station (BS) comprising:\n a processor; and a computer readable storage medium storing programing for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to: receive a first uplink transmission from a user equipment (UE) without using a request/grant mechanism to allocate resources for the first uplink transmission to the UE, wherein the first uplink transmission is sent using a first contention transmission unit (CTU), wherein the first CTU includes a time resource, a frequency resource, and a pilot resource; and send an acknowledgement (ACK) signal to the UE when information carried by the first uplink transmission is successfully decoded by the BS, the ACK signal indicating that the information carried by the first uplink transmission was successfully decoded.
