METHODS PROVIDING DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION AND DOWNLINK DATA USING OVERLAPPING RESOURCES AND RELATED COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

• This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18010568 Titled 'METHODS PROVIDING DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION AND DOWNLINK DATA USING OVERLAPPING RESOURCES AND RELATED COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND RADIO ACCESS NETWORK NODES'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for operating a communication device in a communication network. The device is equipped with resources for monitoring PDCCH candidates, which partially overlap with resources used for SPS of a PDSCH. The method involves monitoring PDCCH candidates on the configured resources. If a PDCCH is successfully decoded, the method proceeds to decode a PDSCH on the SPS PDSCH resources, with the PDSCH rate-matched around the PDCCH resource. If a PDCCH is not successfully decoded, the method directly decodes the PDSCH on the SPS PDSCH resources. The abstract also mentions the existence of a communication device, a radio access network node, and a method for these purposes.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a communication device in a communication network is provided. The communication device is configured with resources for monitoring physical downlink channel, PDCCH, candidates, where the resources at least in part overlaps with resources configured for semi-persistent scheduling, SPS, of a physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH. The method includes monitoring PDCCH candidates on the configured PDCCH resources. If a PDCCH is successfully decoded for the configured PDCCH resources, the method includes decoding a PDSCH, on the resources configured for SPS PDSCH, where the PDSCH is rate-matched around the PDCCH resource according to the PDCCH decoding. If a PDCCH is not successfully decoded, the method includes decoding PDSCH on the resources configured for SPS PDSCH. There is also presented a communication device, a radio access network node and a method therefore.
