PDCCH Monitoring Periodicity - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18153881 titled 'PDCCH Monitoring Periodicity

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for configuring monitoring occasions in a wireless communication network. This method involves determining a monitoring configuration for a wireless device, which includes the periodicity and number of blind decodes for each search space in the network. The monitoring configuration is then sent to the wireless device, which uses it to monitor each search space accordingly.

• The method involves configuring monitoring occasions for a wireless device in a wireless communication network.
• The monitoring configuration includes the periodicity and number of blind decodes for each search space.
• The monitoring configuration is sent to the wireless device for implementation.
• The wireless device uses the monitoring configuration to monitor each search space.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication networks, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and IoT networks. It can be used to optimize network performance, improve resource allocation, and enhance overall network efficiency.

Problems Solved

- Improved network performance: By configuring monitoring occasions, the method helps optimize network performance by ensuring efficient resource allocation and reducing unnecessary monitoring. - Enhanced network efficiency: The method allows for better utilization of network resources by providing a monitoring configuration that matches the specific needs of the wireless device. - Reduced resource wastage: By determining the appropriate periodicity and number of blind decodes for each search space, the method minimizes resource wastage and improves overall network efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted

According to some embodiments, a method in a network node for configuring monitoring occasions for use in a network node of a wireless communication network comprises determining a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space monitoring configuration for a wireless device. The PDCCII search space monitoring configuration comprises a monitoring periodicity and a number of blind decodes for each search space of a plurality of search spaces over a plurality of slots. The method further comprises sending the monitoring configuration to the wireless device. A method in a wireless device comprises receiving the monitoring configuration and monitoring each search space according to the monitoring configuration.
