VIRTUAL SEARCH SPACES FOR BEAM INDICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18357043 titled 'VIRTUAL SEARCH SPACES FOR BEAM INDICATION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. Here are the key points:

  • The base station identifies time and frequency resources for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) in a first transmission time interval (TTI).
  • The base station transmits configuration information for a control channel search space set in a second TTI, which comes before the first TTI.
  • The configuration information includes an indication that there will be no physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission in the control channel search space set, and a set of time and frequency resources for the control channel search space set.
  • The UE receives the configuration information and identifies the time and frequency resources allocated for the PDSCH in the second TTI.
  • The UE then receives the PDSCH transmission in the second TTI.

Overall, this patent application introduces a method for efficiently allocating time and frequency resources for wireless communications, improving the transmission of data between a base station and a user equipment.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify time and frequency resources for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) in a first transmission time interval (TTI). The base station may transmit configuration information for a control channel search space set in a second TTI. The second TTI may precede the first TTI. The configuration information may include an indication of an absence of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission to send in the control channel search space set indicating the identified time and frequency resources for the PDSCH, and a set of time and frequency resources for the control channel search space set. The UE may receive the configuration information and identify the time and frequency resources allocated for the PDSCH in the second TTI, and receive the PDSCH transmission in the second TTI.
