PDCCH FOR MULTI-CELL SCHEDULING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18301848 titled 'PDCCH FOR MULTI-CELL SCHEDULING

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method and apparatus for monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for multi-cell scheduling.

  • The method involves receiving information about sets of cells and a user equipment (UE)-specific search space (USS) set for PDCCH receptions on a scheduling cell.
  • The USS set is associated with a downlink control information (DCI) format for scheduling on multiple cells.
  • The method further includes determining a set of cells associated with the USS set and a reference cell from the set of cells.
  • The size of the DCI format is counted in the number of sizes of DCI formats for scheduling on the reference cell, but not counted for cells other than the reference cell from the set of cells.

In summary, this patent application presents a method and apparatus for efficiently monitoring the PDCCH for multi-cell scheduling by counting the size of the DCI format only for the reference cell and not for other cells in the set.


Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatuses and methods for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for multi-cell scheduling. A method includes receiving information for a number of sets of cells and information for a user equipment (UE)-specific search space (USS) set for receptions of PDCCH candidates on a scheduling cell. The USS set has a USS set identity and is associated with a downlink control information (DCI) format for scheduling on more than one cell. The method further includes determining a set of cells, from the number of sets of cells, that is associated with the USS set and a reference cell from the set of cells. A size of the DCI format is counted in a number of sizes of DCI formats for scheduling on the reference cell and is not counted in a number of sizes of DCI formats for scheduling on cells, other than the reference cell, from the set of cells.
