COMMON CONTROL CHANNEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18254070 titled 'COMMON CONTROL CHANNEL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a wireless communication system where a user equipment (UE) can receive common downlink control information (DCI) included in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate. The PDCCH candidate has a certain size associated with an aggregation level, and the common DCI can be detected at this aggregation level by decoding the PDCCH candidate. Additionally, the common DCI can also be detected at a smaller aggregation level by decoding a part of the PDCCH candidate, which has a different size associated with the smaller aggregation level. The UE can then communicate based on the common DCI.
- User equipment (UE) receives common downlink control information (DCI) included in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate.
- The PDCCH candidate has a first size associated with a first aggregation level.
- The common DCI can be detected at the first aggregation level by decoding the PDCCH candidate.
- The common DCI can also be detected at a second aggregation level, smaller than the first aggregation level.
- The second aggregation level can be decoded by decoding a part of the PDCCH candidate.
- The part of the PDCCH candidate has a second size associated with the second aggregation level.
- The UE can communicate based on the common DCI.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and other wireless networks. It can improve the efficiency and reliability of communication between user equipment and base stations.

Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive common downlink control information (DCI) included in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate, wherein the PDCCH candidate has a first size associated with a first aggregation level, wherein the common DCI is detectable at the first aggregation level by decoding the PDCCH candidate and detectable at a second aggregation level, smaller than the first aggregation level, by decoding a part of the PDCCH candidate, and wherein the part of the PDCCH candidate has a second size associated with the second aggregation level. The UE may communicate based at least in part on the common DCI. Numerous other aspects are described.
