REFRAINING FROM MONITORING PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL (PDCCH) REPETITION MONITORING OCCASION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17906536 titled 'REFRAINING FROM MONITORING PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL (PDCCH) REPETITION MONITORING OCCASION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for identifying specific occasions for monitoring and refraining from monitoring a downlink channel.
- The method determines when a user equipment (UE) should refrain from monitoring certain occasions associated with a control resource set.
- The UE refrains from monitoring a subset of occasions within a duration, based on the determination.
- The UE then monitors another subset of occasions within the same duration.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, particularly in the field of cellular networks. It can be used in 5G and future generations of mobile networks to improve the efficiency and reliability of downlink channel monitoring.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient monitoring: The technique helps in identifying specific occasions for monitoring the downlink channel, allowing the UE to focus its resources on the most relevant monitoring occasions. 2. Avoiding unnecessary monitoring: By determining when to refrain from monitoring certain occasions, the UE can conserve power and reduce unnecessary processing.
Benefits
1. Improved efficiency: By monitoring specific occasions, the UE can optimize its resources and enhance the overall efficiency of the downlink channel monitoring process. 2. Power savings: Refraining from monitoring unnecessary occasions helps in conserving power, extending the battery life of the UE. 3. Reduced processing: By avoiding unnecessary monitoring, the UE can reduce processing overhead, leading to improved performance and responsiveness.
Original Abstract Submitted
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for identifying measurement occasions (MOs) to monitor and refrain from monitoring for a repetition of a downlink channel. An example method generally includes determining that, within a monitoring occasion (MO) duration associated with decoding a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetitions, the UE should refrain from monitoring at least one MO associated with a first control resource set (CORESET), wherein the MO duration comprises multiple MOs in which the UE is to monitor for repeated PDCCH candidates; refraining from monitoring a first subset of MOs in the MO duration, based on the determination; and monitoring a second subset of MOs within the MO duration.
