GRID-ALIGNED PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL SKIPPING FOR PERIODIC TRAFFIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931976 titled 'GRID-ALIGNED PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL SKIPPING FOR PERIODIC TRAFFIC

Simplified Explanation

Abstract Explanation

The patent application is about wireless communication and specifically focuses on a user equipment (UE) receiving a configuration indicating a grid of traffic arrival times. The UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during specific time intervals associated with different grids. Based on the monitoring results, the UE may receive an indication to skip PDCCH monitoring and then resume monitoring during the next time interval. The patent application describes various other aspects related to this technology.

  • The patent application is about wireless communication and user equipment (UE).
  • The UE receives a configuration indicating a grid of traffic arrival times.
  • The UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during specific time intervals associated with different grids.
  • Based on the monitoring results, the UE may receive an indication to skip PDCCH monitoring.
  • The UE resumes monitoring during the next time interval based on the indication to skip monitoring.
  • The patent application describes numerous other aspects related to this technology.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to improve the efficiency of monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
  • It can be used in cellular networks to enhance the performance and reliability of user equipment (UE) in receiving control information.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of excessive monitoring of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) by providing a mechanism to skip monitoring based on previous monitoring results.
  • It addresses the issue of unnecessary power consumption and processing resources utilized by the user equipment (UE) for monitoring the PDCCH during certain time intervals.

Benefits

  • The technology improves the overall efficiency of wireless communication systems by reducing unnecessary monitoring of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
  • It helps in conserving power and optimizing the utilization of processing resources in user equipment (UE).
  • The technology enhances the reliability and performance of user equipment (UE) in receiving control information.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration indicating a grid of traffic arrival times that includes a plurality of grids associated with respective time intervals. The UE may monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during a first time interval associated with a first grid, of the plurality of grids. The UE may receive an indication to skip PDCCH monitoring based at least in part on monitoring the PDCCH during the first time interval. The UE may monitor the PDCCH during a second time interval associated with a second grid, of the plurality of grids. The UE may not monitor the PDCCH until a start of the second time interval based at least in part on the indication to skip the PDCCH monitoring. Numerous other aspects are described.
