SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PDCCH MONITORING IN NEW RADIO NEW RADIO - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17598227 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PDCCH MONITORING IN NEW RADIO NEW RADIO

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for determining a monitoring configuration for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless device operating in the 5G new radio (NR) spectrum above 52.6 GHz. The configuration specifies the monitoring of PDCCH for one subcarrier spacing (SCS) selected from a group of SCSs related to the spectrum.

• The monitoring limits for each SCS in the group are applied per slot per CC (component carrier).
• The user equipment (UE) decode complexity for performing the monitoring limits is equal for all SCSs in the group.
• The monitoring limits are applied over a duration of a slot group consisting of multiple slots.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems operating in the 5G NR spectrum above 52.6 GHz.
• Mobile devices and base stations using subcarrier spacing for PDCCH monitoring.
• Networks requiring efficient and equal UE decode complexity for different SCSs.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient monitoring of PDCCH in wireless devices operating in the 5G NR spectrum.
• Equalizing the UE decode complexity for different SCSs in the monitoring configuration.
• Optimizing the monitoring limits for a slot group duration.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved efficiency and accuracy in monitoring PDCCH in high-frequency wireless communication systems.
• Equal distribution of UE decode complexity for different SCSs, ensuring fair resource allocation.
• Enhanced performance and reliability of wireless networks operating in the 5G NR spectrum.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus for determining a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space monitoring configuration for a wireless device that specifies PDCCH monitoring for one subcarrier spacing (SCS) selected from a group of subcarrier spacings (SCSs) that are related to a spectrum in 5G new radio (NR) above 52.6 GHz are described. In one embodiment, the monitoring limits associated with each of the SCSs are applied per slot per CC and the user equipment (UE) decode complexity associated with performing the monitoring limits for the different SCSs in the group is equal. In one embodiment, the monitoring limits associated with each of the SCSs are for a slot group of a plurality of slots and are for application over a duration of the slot group.
