==SLOT PRECONFIGURATION FOR COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT AND POWER SAVING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17950020 titled 'SLOT PRECONFIGURATION FOR COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT AND POWER SAVING

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure provides techniques for slot preconfiguration for coverage enhancement and power saving. A method involves processing synchronization signals in a first slot according to a first configuration of slot parameters, receiving a second configuration of slot parameters from a network entity, and processing a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a second slot according to the second configuration of slot parameters.

* Explanation of the patent/innovation:
    * Processing synchronization signals in a first slot according to a first configuration of slot parameters.
    * Receiving a second configuration of slot parameters from a network entity.
    * Processing a PDCCH in a second slot according to the second configuration of slot parameters.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* 5G networks
* Internet of Things (IoT) devices

== Problems Solved ==
* Enhancing coverage
* Saving power

== Benefits ==
* Improved network performance
* Reduced power consumption

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
### Optimizing Slot Configurations for Enhanced Coverage and Power Saving

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to optimizing slot configurations for wireless communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does this technique impact network latency? ===
The abstract does not mention the potential effects on network latency that may result from implementing this slot preconfiguration technique.

=== What are the specific power savings achieved with this method? ===
The abstract does not provide details on the exact power savings that can be expected from using this slot preconfiguration approach.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for slot preconfiguration for coverage enhancement and power saving. An example method performed by a UE includes processing one or more synchronization signals in a first slot according to a first configuration of slot parameters, wherein the synchronization signals are used for at least one of time or frequency tracking, receiving, from a network entity, a second configuration of slot parameters, and processing a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a second slot according to the second configuration of slot parameters, wherein the second slot occurs within a configured slot duration that is offset in time from the first slot.
