CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING ENHANCEMENTS IN NEW RADIO (NR) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18114000 Titled 'CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING ENHANCEMENTS IN NEW RADIO (NR)'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It introduces the concept of cross-carrier scheduling, where a base station schedules downlink data transmissions for user equipment (UE). The UE identifies a minimum scheduling delay and receives a downlink grant on a first carrier component (CC). It then determines the slot in which the downlink data transmission will be received, ensuring that the minimum scheduling delay is met. The UE receives the downlink data transmission in the identified slot. The abstract also mentions the possibility of alternating between long and short minimum scheduling delays, as well as switching between cross-carrier and self-scheduling modes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may implement cross-carrier scheduling. A user equipment (UE) may identify a minimum scheduling delay and may receive a downlink grant on a first CC. The UE may further identify the slot in which a downlink data transmission corresponding to the downlink grant will be received, and may identify the slot such that the minimum scheduling delay is satisfied. The UE may the receive the downlink data transmission, as indicated in the downlink grant, in the identified slot. In some examples, the UE and the base station may alternate between a long minimum scheduling delay and a short minimum scheduling delay. In some examples, the UE and the base station may alternate between a cross-carrier mode, and a self-scheduling mode.
