DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL MONITORING CAPABILITY INDICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463987 titled 'DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL MONITORING CAPABILITY INDICATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to wireless communication, where a user equipment (UE) can transmit information about its monitoring capability and then monitor a set of control channel elements (CCEs) for decoding physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) information based on certain budgets.
- User equipment (UE) can identify and transmit its monitoring capability.
- The UE monitors a set of control channel elements (CCEs) for decoding PDCCH information based on budgets such as CCE budget, PDCCH blind decode budget, or DCI size budget.
- Monitoring is done on a per subcarrier spacing (SCS) configuration basis.
- The UE decodes downlink control information (DCI) in the monitored CCEs.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- 5G and future wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Smart city infrastructure
Problems Solved
- Efficient monitoring and decoding of control channel elements
- Optimizing resource allocation in wireless networks
Benefits
- Improved reliability and efficiency in wireless communication
- Enhanced performance of user equipment in decoding control information
Potential Commercial Applications
- Telecommunications companies
- IoT device manufacturers
- Network equipment providers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of similar monitoring and decoding techniques in previous wireless communication systems.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life in user equipment?
The abstract does not mention the impact of this technology on the battery life of user equipment. It would be interesting to know if the monitoring and decoding processes have any significant effect on power consumption.
Are there any limitations to the number of CCEs that can be monitored simultaneously?
The abstract does not specify if there are any limitations on the number of control channel elements that can be monitored at once. It would be important to understand if there are any restrictions on the monitoring capability of the user equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit information identifying a monitoring capability. The UE may monitor, in accordance with the monitoring capability, a configured set of control channel elements (CCEs) for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) decoding for a scheduled cell of a set of scheduled cells, a scheduled cell, of the set of scheduled cells, being associated with a configured set of carrier indicator field values, the monitoring being based at least in part on at least one of a CCE budget, a PDCCH blind decode budget, or a downlink control information (DCI) size budget, the CCE budget or the PDCCH blind decode budget being on a per subcarrier spacing (SCS) configuration basis. The UE may decode DCI in one or more CCEs of the monitored configured set of CCEs. Numerous other aspects are described.
