SEARCH SPACE SET CONFIGURATION FOR MULTI-SLOT PDCCH MONITORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916542 titled 'SEARCH SPACE SET CONFIGURATION FOR MULTI-SLOT PDCCH MONITORING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for configuring search space for multi-slot physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring based on the capabilities of user equipment (UE).

• Obtaining data indicating UE capabilities, including sub-carrier spacing used by the UE.
• Determining a periodicity selection parameter and other search space configuration parameters based on the obtained data.
• Generating a UE configuration command with the determined parameters.
• Encoding and transmitting the configuration command to the UE.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to optimize PDCCH monitoring for UEs, improving overall system efficiency and performance.

Problems Solved

- Efficient configuration of search space for PDCCH monitoring based on UE capabilities. - Enhanced resource allocation and utilization in wireless networks.

Benefits

- Improved reliability and accuracy in PDCCH monitoring. - Enhanced system performance and spectral efficiency. - Better user experience with optimized search space configuration.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing PDCCH monitoring in 5G networks for improved network performance and user experience.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer programs for search space configuration for multi-slot physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring. In one aspect, a method can include actions of obtaining, by a base station, data indicating capabilities of user equipment (UE), wherein the obtained data includes at least data indicating sub-carrier spacing used by the UE, determining, by the base station and based on the obtained data indicating capabilities of the UE, (i) a periodicity selection parameter that indicates a subset of slot periodicities that the UE is to monitor for PDCCH and (ii) one or more other search space configuration parameters. generating, by the base station, a UE configuration command for configuring the search space that includes at least the determined periodicity selection parameter, encoding, by the base station, the generated UE configuration command for transmission to the UE, and transmitting, by the base station, the encoded command to the UE.
