REPORT FOR A DECODING OUTCOME OF A DCI FORMAT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354553 titled 'REPORT FOR A DECODING OUTCOME OF A DCI FORMAT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a technology related to the reception and decoding of control information in a wireless communication system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The patent application is for a system that includes a device (UE) with a transceiver and a processor.
  • The transceiver is configured to receive information related to operation states on a cell, search space sets for receiving control information (PDCCHs), and the PDCCHs themselves.
  • The PDCCHs contain a specific type of control information called DCI format, which is scrambled by a unique identifier (RNTI).
  • The DCI format indicates an index from a set of indices corresponding to the operation states on the cell.
  • The processor is connected to the transceiver and is responsible for determining a set of reception occasions for the PDCCHs.
  • If the first DCI format is not correctly received for the set of reception occasions, the transceiver will transmit a specific type of control information (PUCCH) in response.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems: This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve the reception and decoding of control information.
  • 5G and beyond: As the abstract mentions specific types of control information used in 5G networks (e.g., PDCCH, DCI format), this technology can be particularly relevant for the development and improvement of 5G and future wireless networks.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient control information reception: The technology aims to improve the reception and decoding of control information, which is crucial for the proper functioning of wireless communication systems.
  • Error detection and correction: By scrambling the control information with a unique identifier, the technology helps in detecting and correcting errors that may occur during transmission.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced reliability: By improving the reception and decoding of control information, the technology can enhance the overall reliability and performance of wireless communication systems.
  • Reduced interference: The use of specific identifiers (RNTIs) for scrambling the control information can help reduce interference from other devices or signals in the wireless environment.
  • Improved efficiency: The technology allows for more efficient use of resources by determining the set of reception occasions and transmitting additional control information (PUCCH) only when necessary.


Original Abstract Submitted

A UE includes a transceiver configured to receive first information related to a set of operation states on a cell, second information related to search space sets for receiving PDCCHs, and the PDCCHs. A first PDCCH provides a first DCI format, CRC bits of the first DCI format are scrambled by a first RNTI, and the first DCI format indicates a first index from a set of indices corresponding to the set of operation states on the cell. The UE further includes a processor operably coupled to a transceiver. The processor is configured to determine a first set of reception occasions for the PDCCHs, and absence of a correct reception of the first DCI format for the first set of reception occasions. The transceiver is further configured to transmit a PUCCH in response to the absence of the reception of the first DCI format for the set of reception occasions.
