Transmission of NR Control Information in an LTE Downlink Subframe - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221751 titled 'Transmission of NR Control Information in an LTE Downlink Subframe

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method for transmitting control information in a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) downlink subframe.

  • The method involves allocating at least two symbols in the subframe for LTE control information transmission.
  • The network node configures resource elements within the subframe for both LTE and New Radio (NR) transmission.
  • NR control information is allocated to resource elements of at least one symbol within the allocated symbols for LTE control information.
  • The subframe is then transmitted from co-sited antennas, with both LTE and NR transmission happening simultaneously.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided mechanisms for transmission of NR control information in an LTE downlink subframe. At least two symbols in the subframe are allocatable for LTE control information. A method is performed by a network node. The method comprises configuring resource elements for LTE transmission and resource elements for NR transmission within the subframe such that NR control information is allocated to resource elements of at least one symbol within the at least two symbols allocatable for the LTE control information in the subframe. The method comprises initiating transmission of the subframe from co-sited antennas, such that the resource elements for LTE transmission and the resource elements for NR transmission are transmitted from the co-sited antennas.
