DCI SIZE ALIGNMENT FOR A SCHEDULED CELL WITH MULTIPLE SCHEDULING CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18350631 titled 'DCI SIZE ALIGNMENT FOR A SCHEDULED CELL WITH MULTIPLE SCHEDULING CELLS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for determining the size alignment of downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled cell with multiple scheduling cells. The method involves receiving different information for different fields of the DCI format depending on whether the cell is a primary cell (PCell) or a secondary cell (SCell). The method further includes determining the sizes of the DCI format on the PCell and SCell, as well as the number of padding bits needed to align the sizes. When the SCell is deactivated, the second size is determined based on a reference downlink bandwidth part for the SCell. The first DCI format is received in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) reception on either the PCell or the SCell.

  • The method determines the size alignment of DCI for a scheduled cell with multiple scheduling cells.
  • Different information is received for different fields of the DCI format depending on whether the cell is a PCell or SCell.
  • The sizes of the DCI format on the PCell and SCell are determined, along with the number of padding bits needed for alignment.
  • When the SCell is deactivated, the second size is determined based on a reference downlink bandwidth part for the SCell.
  • The first DCI format is received in a PDCCH reception on either the PCell or the SCell.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems with multiple scheduling cells.
  • Cellular networks with primary and secondary cells.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient alignment of DCI sizes for different cells.
  • Effective utilization of downlink control information.
  • Seamless transition between primary and secondary cells.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance and efficiency of wireless communication systems.
  • Enhanced capacity and flexibility in cellular networks.
  • Seamless and reliable communication between primary and secondary cells.


Original Abstract Submitted

Downlink control information (DCI) size alignment for a scheduled cell with multiple scheduling cells. A includes receiving: first information for first fields of a first DCI format when on a primary cell (PCell) and second information for second fields of the first DCI format when on a secondary cell (SCell). The method further includes determining: a first size for the first DCI format on the PCell, a second size for the first DCI format on the SCell, and a first number of padding bits equal to an absolute difference between the first size and the second size. When the SCell is deactivated, the second size is determined based on a first reference downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) for the SCell. The method further includes receiving the first DCI format in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) reception on the PCell or the SCell.
