CARRIER AGGREGATION LIMIT FOR REL-16 PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL MONITORING CAPABILITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17914966 titled 'CARRIER AGGREGATION LIMIT FOR REL-16 PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL MONITORING CAPABILITIES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method performed by a network node to determine a carrier aggregation (CA) limit for user equipment (UE) configuration with monitoring capability. The determination is based on various factors such as the downlink sub-slot structure and pattern of a downlink slot, overlapping spans across scheduled cells, start and end times for spans across component carriers, and spans that partially overlap a CA limit window.

  • The method determines the CA limit for UE configuration with monitoring capability.
  • It considers the DL sub-slot structure and pattern of a DL slot.
  • It takes into account the set of overlapping spans across scheduled cells.
  • It considers the start and end times for spans across component carriers.
  • It also considers spans that at least partially overlap a CA limit window.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in the field of wireless communication networks, specifically in carrier aggregation for user equipment configuration with monitoring capability. It can be used in various applications such as:

  • Mobile network infrastructure
  • Wireless communication devices
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • 5G and future generation networks

Problems Solved

The technology solves the problem of determining the carrier aggregation limit for user equipment configuration with monitoring capability. It addresses the challenges of managing overlapping spans across scheduled cells and ensuring efficient utilization of component carriers. By considering the DL sub-slot structure, pattern, and CA limit window, it provides an optimized solution for configuring UE with monitoring capability.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved efficiency in carrier aggregation for user equipment configuration with monitoring capability.
  • Enhanced utilization of component carriers.
  • Optimal configuration of UE based on the DL sub-slot structure and pattern.
  • Better management of overlapping spans across scheduled cells.
  • Increased performance and capacity of wireless communication networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments herein relate to for example a method performed by a network node for determining a carrier aggregation (CA) limit for UE configuration with monitoring capability, based on: a downlink (DL) sub-slot structure and/or pattern of a DL slot; a set of overlapping spans across scheduled cells; start and end times for spans across component carriers; and/or spans at least partially overlapping a CA limit window.
