==Control Indicator for Power Saving in a Mobile Wireless Communication Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137867 titled 'Control Indicator for Power Saving in a Mobile Wireless Communication Device

==Simplified Explanation==

A wireless communication device (UE) may receive control indicator information (CII) indicating whether one or more candidate physical control channels (PCCs) are available to the UE for decoding. The UE may perform blind decoding if the CII indicates that the candidate PCCs are available, to decode a respective PCC intended for the UE. The UE may receive the CII in the same slot in which PCCs are transmitted, or it may receive the CII in another slot, which may be a narrowband slot. The UE may receive the PCCs in the same slot in which corresponding physical data channels (PDCs) are transmitted, or it may receive the PCCs in another slot, e.g. a slot immediately preceding the slot in which the corresponding PDCs are transmitted. By eliminating unnecessary blind decoding and receiving the CII over narrowband, power consumption of the UE may be greatly reduced.

* Wireless communication device (UE) receives control indicator information (CII) to determine availability of candidate physical control channels (PCCs) for decoding.
* If CII indicates available PCCs, UE performs blind decoding to decode the intended PCC.
* CII may be received in the same slot as PCCs or in a separate narrowband slot.
* PCCs may be received in the same slot as corresponding physical data channels (PDCs) or in a preceding slot to reduce power consumption.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

a wireless communication device (ue) may receive control indicator information (cii) indicating whether one or more candidate physical control channels (pccs) are available to the ue for decoding. the ue may perform respective blind decoding if the cii indicates that the one or more candidate pccs are available, to decode a respective pcc intended for the ue. the ue may receive the cii in the same slot in which pccs are transmitted, or it may receive the cii in another slot, which may be a narrowband slot. the ue may receive the pccs in the same slot in which corresponding physical data channels (pdcs) are transmitted, or it may receive the pccs in another slot, e.g. a slot immediately preceding the slot in which the corresponding pdcs are transmitted. by eliminating unnecessary blind decoding and receiving the cii over narrowband, power consumption of the ue may be greatly reduced.
