TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION IN MULTICAST/BROADCAST WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18305949 Titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION IN MULTICAST/BROADCAST WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for indicating downlink control information (DCI) for multicast and/or broadcast (MB) communications. This method involves using DCI formats that are based on existing formats for unicast communications, paging signals, system information signals, etc. The DCI formats for MB communications may also include shortened formats that do not include fields for information that is not used in MB communications.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects described herein relate to indicating downlink control information (DCI) for multicast and/or broadcast (MB) communications using DCI formats that may be based on existing DCI formats and/or size for unicast communications, paging signals, system information signals, etc., or may include shortened formats without fields for information that may not be used in MB communications.
