METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SEARCH SPACE SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17799434 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SEARCH SPACE SWITCHING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and apparatus for search space switching in a communication system. Here are the key points:
- The communication system includes multiple search space groups.
- A network node generates a downlink control information (DCI) message and transmits it on a downlink control channel.
- The DCI message instructs a user equipment (UE) to switch from monitoring a first search space group to monitoring a second search space group.
- The UE receives the DCI message on a downlink control channel and switches to the second search space group upon successfully decoding the message.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Mobile communication systems
- Wireless networks
- Cellular networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient utilization of network resources
- Seamless switching between search space groups
- Improved communication reliability and performance
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced network efficiency
- Reduced interference
- Improved user experience
- Better overall system performance
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatus in a communication system for search space switching are disclosed. A method performed by a network node in a communication system that includes more than one search space group includes generating a downlink control information, DCI, message, and transmitting the DCI message on a downlink control channel, wherein the DCI message causes a user equipment, UE, to switch from monitoring a first search space group to monitoring a second search space group in response to successfully decoding the DCI message. A method performed by a UE in the communication system, wherein the UE is configured to monitor a first search space group, includes receiving a DCI message on a downlink control channel; and switching from monitoring the first search space group to monitoring a second search space group in response to successfully decoding the DCI message.
