DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (DCI) FOR SINGLE DCI AND MULTIPLE DCI TRANSMISSION MODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121789 titled 'DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (DCI) FOR SINGLE DCI AND MULTIPLE DCI TRANSMISSION MODES

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to wireless communication technology where a user equipment (UE) receives configuration information for multiple sounding reference signal resource sets and downlink control information (DCI) associated with uplink communications, based on the configuration information.

  • The UE may receive configuration information for at least two sounding reference signal resource sets.
  • The UE may receive one or more DCI communications associated with uplink communications.
  • The UE may receive an indication from the network node regarding whether the DCI communications are associated with a single DCI (SDCI) mode or a multiple DCI (MDCI) mode, based on the configuration information.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G and future wireless communication systems
  • IoT devices requiring efficient uplink communication

Problems Solved

  • Efficient configuration of sounding reference signal resource sets
  • Improved management of downlink control information for uplink communications

Benefits

  • Enhanced performance and reliability of wireless communication
  • Optimal resource allocation for uplink communications

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunication companies
  • IoT device manufacturers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of multiple DCI modes in LTE networks for managing uplink communications efficiently.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?

The impact of this technology on battery life in mobile devices is not addressed in the abstract. It would be interesting to know if there are any optimizations that could potentially extend battery life.

Are there any limitations to the number of sounding reference signal resource sets that can be configured?

The abstract does not mention any limitations on the number of sounding reference signal resource sets that can be configured. It would be important to understand if there are any constraints in this regard.


Original Abstract Submitted

various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. in some aspects, a user equipment (ue) may receive, from a network node, configuration information indicating a configuration of at least two sounding reference signal resource sets. the ue may receive one or more downlink control information (dci) communications associated with one or more uplink communications. the ue may receive, from the network node, an indication of whether the one or more dci communications are associated with one or both of a single dci (sdci) mode or a multiple dci (mdci) mode, wherein the indication is based at least in part on the configuration information. numerous other aspects are described.
