SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL CAPACITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18112884 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL CAPACITY
The patent application describes systems and methods for increasing the capacity of the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) by communicating a first PDCCH and a second PDCCH in a single Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a subframe, allowing more space for data transmission.
- The innovation involves transmitting two PDCCHs in one OFDM symbol, freeing up PDCCH code space for data transmission.
- This method enhances the efficiency of wireless communication between nodes and user equipment (UE).
- By optimizing the allocation of PDCCH resources, overall system capacity and performance can be improved.
- The technology enables faster and more reliable data transmission in wireless networks.
- Implementing this innovation can lead to better utilization of available spectrum resources.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in 5G and beyond wireless networks to improve spectral efficiency and enhance overall network performance.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the limited capacity of the PDCCH in wireless communication systems. - Optimizing resource allocation for control channel signaling in OFDM-based networks.
Benefits: - Increased data transmission efficiency. - Enhanced network performance and capacity. - Improved user experience in wireless communication.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies, network equipment manufacturers, and wireless service providers to enhance the performance of their wireless networks and improve user satisfaction.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the communication of two PDCCHs in a single OFDM symbol improve network efficiency? - By transmitting two PDCCHs in one symbol, the remaining code space can be used for data, increasing overall network capacity.
2. What impact does this innovation have on the speed and reliability of data transmission in wireless networks? - This innovation leads to faster and more reliable data transmission by optimizing the allocation of resources for control channel signaling.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods are provided for enhancing physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) capacity. To do so, a first PDCCH and a second PDCCH are communicated in single orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a subframe, freeing the remainder of the PDCCH code space for data. Initially, a transmission is communicated, by a node configured to wirelessly communicate with a user equipment (UE), to the UE. The transmission includes a first PDCCH in a first OFDM symbol of a subframe. The transmission also includes a second PDCCH in the first OFDM symbol of the subframe.
