SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18084535 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device and method for accessing a communication network with a primary cell and a secondary cell. The device includes a transceiver and a device controller. The device controller receives scheduling information for the primary cell on the secondary cell and monitors a common search space for the primary cell. It selectively monitors the common search space for broadcast information based on the type of the common search space on the primary cell.

  • The device includes a transceiver and a device controller.
  • The device controller receives scheduling information for the primary cell on the secondary cell.
  • The device controller monitors a common search space for the primary cell.
  • The device controller selectively monitors the common search space for broadcast information based on the type of the common search space on the primary cell.
  • The method involves scheduling the primary cell using a first scheduling mechanism.
  • The first scheduling mechanism includes scheduling the primary cell by a secondary cell.
  • The method also involves scheduling the primary cell using a second scheduling mechanism.
  • The second scheduling mechanism includes self-scheduling.
  • The secondary cell is deactivated when switching from the first scheduling mechanism to the second scheduling mechanism.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication devices
  • Cellular networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved

  • Efficient scheduling of primary cell in a communication network
  • Simplified monitoring of common search space for broadcast information

Benefits

  • Improved network efficiency
  • Enhanced device performance
  • Simplified scheduling mechanisms


Original Abstract Submitted

A device may include a transceiver configured to access a communication network including a primary cell and a secondary cell, and a device controller configured to receive, on the secondary cell, scheduling information for the primary cell, and monitor a common search space for the primary cell. The device controller may he configured to selectively monitor the common search space for broadcast information. The device controller may be configured to selectively monitor the common search space based on a type of the common search space on the primary cell. A method may include scheduling, by a first scheduling mechanism, a primary cell, wherein the first scheduling mechanism comprises scheduling the primary cell by a secondary cell, scheduling, by a second scheduling mechanism, the primary cell, and deactivating the secondary cell based on switching from the first scheduling mechanism to the second scheduling mechanism. The second scheduling mechanism may include self-scheduling.
