POWER OPTIMIZATIONS FOR TRANSMISSION OPPORTUNITY (TXOP) MONITORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965600 titled 'POWER OPTIMIZATIONS FOR TRANSMISSION OPPORTUNITY (TXOP) MONITORING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes wireless communication systems and methods for monitoring the start of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in unlicensed or shared frequency bands.

  • The first wireless communication device communicates a first configuration to the second wireless communication device, which includes a set of control channel monitoring periods outside of a TXOP.
  • During the TXOP, the first wireless communication device sends a communication signal based on a longer control channel monitoring period than the ones in the first configuration.
  • The first wireless communication device also communicates a configuration to the second wireless communication device, which includes a search space for control channel monitoring outside of the TXOP and another search space for control channel monitoring within the TXOP. The second search space partially overlaps with the first search space.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems in unlicensed or shared frequency bands.
  • Improving the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication devices.
  • Enhancing the performance of wireless networks in crowded environments.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Addressing interference issues in unlicensed or shared frequency bands.
  • Optimizing the use of control channel monitoring during transmission opportunities.
  • Minimizing collisions and maximizing the utilization of available resources.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased reliability and efficiency of wireless communication systems.
  • Improved performance in crowded or congested environments.
  • Enhanced user experience with reduced interference and better network connectivity.


Original Abstract Submitted

Wireless communications systems and methods related monitoring the start of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in unlicensed or shared frequency bands are provided. In one embodiment, a first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a first configuration including a set of first control channel monitoring periods outside of a TXOP. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, a communication signal during the TXOP based on a second control channel monitoring period longer than each of the first control channel monitoring periods. In one embodiment, a first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a configuration including a first search space for a control channel monitoring outside of a TXOP and a second search space for a control channel monitoring within the TXOP, the second search space being partially-overlapped with the first search space.
