TECHNIQUES AND APPARATUSES FOR DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL DESIGN USING A TOP TO BOTTOM SEARCH SPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18307347 Titled 'TECHNIQUES AND APPARATUSES FOR DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL DESIGN USING A TOP TO BOTTOM SEARCH SPACE'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract explains that user equipment in a legacy network uses a search technique to find relevant control channel samples. However, this technique may not work well in a single-carrier waveform, which is a disadvantage as networks transition to New Radio. To address this, a base station generates a control channel with minimal gaps, and user equipment uses a different search technique to improve efficiency and reduce degradation of single-carrier waveforms.
Original Abstract Submitted
User equipment associated with a legacy network may utilize a bottom-to-top search technique to identify relevant control channel samples. Generating a control channel that is configured for the bottom-to-top search technique may lead to poor performance in a single-carrier waveform, which may be disadvantageous as networks move toward New Radio. In some aspects, described herein, a base station generates a control channel that is configured to minimize gaps in the control channel, and a user equipment performs a top-to-bottom search technique to identify relevant control channel samples. By using the top-to-bottom search technique, degradation of single-carrier waveforms is reduced and efficiency is improved.
