PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL CANDIDATES RELATED TO PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354481 titled 'PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL CANDIDATES RELATED TO PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications.
- A communication device, also known as user equipment (UE), can repeat physical downlink control channels (PDCCH) and handle a combined PDCCH candidate associated with multiple search space sets.
- The UE combines a first PDCCH candidate from a first search space set and a second PDCCH candidate from a second search space set to create a combined PDCCH candidate.
- The UE decodes the combined PDCCH candidate based on factors like a blind decoding PDCCH candidate threshold.
- This allows the UE to decode the combined PDCCH candidate along with individual PDCCH candidates, increasing flexibility for downlink control information (DCI) and improving the reliability of PDCCH.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE) may support repetition of physical downlink control channels (PDCCH) and handling a combined PDCCH candidate associated with multiple search space sets. For example, a UE may combine a first PDCCH candidate corresponding to a first search space set and a second PDCCH candidate corresponding to a second search space set to form a combined PDCCH candidate. The UE may decode the combined PDCCH candidate based on one or more factors, for example, such as a blind decoding PDCCH candidate threshold. As a result, the UE may decode the combined PDCCH candidate in addition to decoding of individual PDCCH candidates, thereby providing increased flexibility for downlink control information (DCI) and improving the reliability of PDCCH.
