METHOD AND APPARATUS OF NR RMSI CORESET CONFIGURATION IN MIB - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933393 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS OF NR RMSI CORESET CONFIGURATION IN MIB

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for configuring control information in a wireless communication system. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves determining a frequency offset for control information based on the lowest RE (Resource Element) of an SS/PBCH (Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel) block and the lowest RE of a CORESET (Control Resource Set) for RMSI (Repetition Maximum System Information).
  • The RB (Resource Block) level frequency offset is configured using a 4-bit field, taking into account the multiplexing pattern of the SS/PBCH block and the CORESET, the bandwidth of the CORESET, and the number of symbols for the CORESET.
  • Another 4-bit field is used to configure the RB level frequency offset and the RE level frequency offset for generating a MIB (Master Information Block).
  • The MIB, including the frequency offsets, is then transmitted to a UE (User Equipment) over a PBCH.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 5G networks, to configure control information for efficient transmission and reception of data.
  • It can improve the synchronization and control signaling between base stations and user devices, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the communication system.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Configuring control information accurately and efficiently is crucial for the proper functioning of wireless communication systems.
  • This method addresses the challenge of determining the frequency offset for control information based on different parameters, such as the lowest RE of specific blocks and sets, and the multiplexing pattern.

Benefits of this technology:

  • By accurately configuring the frequency offset for control information, the method ensures reliable transmission and reception of data in wireless communication systems.
  • The use of specific fields for configuring the frequency offsets simplifies the process and allows for efficient utilization of system resources.
  • The transmission of the MIB over the PBCH enables the UE to quickly and accurately decode the control information, improving the overall performance of the communication system.


Original Abstract Submitted

Configuring control information comprises determining a frequency offset including an RB and RE level frequency offset, where the frequency offset is determined based on a lowest RE of an SS/PBCH block and a lowest RE of CORESET for RMSI, jointly configuring, using a first field of 4 bits, the RB level frequency offset with a multiplexing pattern of the SS/PBCH block and the CORESET, a BW of the CORESET, and a number of symbols for the CORESET for a combination of a SCS of the SS/PBCH block and a SCS of the CORESET, configuring using a second field of the 4 bits generating an MIB including the RB level frequency offset and the RE level frequency offset; and transmitting, to a UE, the MIB over a PBCH.
