DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION FOR SCHEDULING ONE OR MORE TRANSPORT BLOCKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17765233 titled 'DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION FOR SCHEDULING ONE OR MORE TRANSPORT BLOCKS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on techniques for encoding downlink control information (DCI) based on the number of transport blocks being scheduled by the DCI. The number of transport blocks can be indicated explicitly or implicitly in the DCI.
- The patent application proposes encoding downlink control information (DCI) based on the number of transport blocks being scheduled.
- The number of transport blocks supported by the DCI can be explicitly indicated using a field included in the DCI.
- Alternatively, the number of transport blocks can be implicitly signaled in a bitstream of the DCI block.
- The encoding scheme used may depend on the coverage enhancement (CE) mode associated with a user equipment.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve the efficiency and reliability of downlink control information transmission.
Problems Solved
- The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently encoding downlink control information (DCI) in wireless communication systems.
- It solves the problem of signaling the number of transport blocks being scheduled by the DCI in an effective and reliable manner.
Benefits
- The proposed techniques improve the encoding of downlink control information, leading to more efficient use of wireless communication resources.
- By explicitly or implicitly signaling the number of transport blocks, the system can optimize the transmission and reception of data, enhancing overall system performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques are described herein for encoding downlink control information (DCI) based on the number of transport blocks being scheduled by the DCI. The number of transport blocks supported by the DCI may be indicated explicitly using a field included in the DCI. The number of transport blocks can be implicitly signaled in a bitstream of the DCI block. The type of encoding scheme may be based on the coverage enhancement (CE) mode associated with a user equipment.
