QUASI CO-LOCATION PRIORITIZATION RULES FOR MULTI-DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION RECEPTION AND PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17934542 titled 'QUASI CO-LOCATION PRIORITIZATION RULES FOR MULTI-DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION RECEPTION AND PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITION

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

The patent application relates to wireless communication and specifically to the configuration of physical downlink control channels (PDCCH) and multi-downlink control information reception. The application describes a method for a user equipment (UE) to monitor PDCCH communications in overlapping monitoring occasions based on a determination of a plurality of monitored CORESETs.

  • The user equipment (UE) receives a configuration of PDCCH repetition and multi-downlink control information reception.
  • The configuration includes a first and second control resource set (CORESET) pool index.
  • The first CORESET is associated with a first monitoring occasion (MO) of a first linked search space set, while the second CORESET is associated with a second MO of a second linked search space set.
  • The first MO overlaps with the second MO.
  • The UE monitors PDCCH communications in the overlapping monitoring occasions based on a determination of a plurality of monitored CORESETs.
  • The determination is based on a set of rules associated with quasi co-location monitoring properties.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 5G networks, to improve the efficiency and reliability of PDCCH communications.
  • It can be used in mobile devices, base stations, and other wireless communication equipment to enhance the performance of wireless networks.

Problems Solved

  • Overlapping monitoring occasions in PDCCH communications can lead to interference and reduced reliability.
  • The described method provides a solution for effectively monitoring PDCCH communications in overlapping occasions, improving the overall performance of wireless communication systems.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and reliability of PDCCH communications.
  • Enhanced performance of wireless communication systems.
  • Reduced interference and improved signal quality in overlapping monitoring occasions.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition and multi-downlink control information reception wherein, for at least one of a first or second control resource set (CORESET) pool index, a first monitoring occasion (MO) of a first linked search space set, associated with a first CORESET and having a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, overlaps with a second MO of a second linked search space set associated with a second CORESET having a second TCI state. The UE may monitor PDCCH communications in the overlapping monitoring occasions based on a determination of a plurality of monitored CORESETs, wherein the determination is based on a first rule, a second rule, or a third rule, associated with a plurality of quasi co-location monitoring properties. Numerous other aspects are described.
