Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a two-stage scheme for transmitting downlink control information (DCI) in a wireless network. In the first stage, a network device sends a first DCI in a specific channel. This first DCI includes information indicating the presence of a second DCI in another channel. A user equipment receives the first DCI using blind detection, a technique that allows it to detect signals without prior knowledge of their characteristics. With the presence information provided in the first DCI, the user equipment can obtain the second DCI without needing to perform blind detection again.


Original Abstract Submitted

A two stage DCI (downlink control information) scheme is provided in which a first DCI is transmitted by a network device in a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and the first DCI including at least one field indicating presence information of a second DCI in a second PDCCH. A user equipment receives the first DCI using blind detection, and using the presence information, can also obtain the second DCI without needing to perform further blind detection.
