HARQ FEEDBACK REPORTING FOR CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937146 titled 'HARQ FEEDBACK REPORTING FOR CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to wireless communication and specifically to the transmission of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communications in a cellular network.
- The base station can transmit multiple PDCCH communications in the same monitoring occasion in one cell and multiple PDSCH communications in either the same cell or a different cell.
- Each PDCCH communication schedules a specific PDSCH communication.
- The PDCCH communication includes an indication of a counter downlink assignment index, which is determined based on factors such as the starting symbol, the cell index, and the monitoring occasion.
- This technology allows for efficient scheduling and transmission of PDSCH communications in a cellular network.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as 4G and 5G networks.
- It can improve the efficiency and capacity of the network by optimizing the scheduling and transmission of PDSCH communications.
Problems Solved
- Efficient scheduling and transmission of PDSCH communications in a cellular network.
- Optimization of network capacity and efficiency.
Benefits
- Improved network capacity and efficiency.
- Enhanced performance of wireless communication systems.
- Better utilization of available network resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may transmit a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communications in a same PDCCH monitoring occasion in a first cell, and may transmit a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communications in at least one of the first cell or a second cell. Each of the PDCCH communications schedules a respective PDSCH communication of the plurality of PDSCH communications. A PDCCH communication, of the plurality of PDCCH communications, includes an indication of a counter downlink assignment index that is based at least in part on a combination of a starting symbol and a cell in which an associated PDSCH communication is to be transmitted, a cell index of the cell in which the associated PDSCH communication is to be transmitted, and the PDCCH monitoring occasion. Numerous other aspects are provided.
