METHOD, USER EQUIPMENT, AND AN ACCESS NETWORK NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18284599 titled 'METHOD, USER EQUIPMENT, AND AN ACCESS NETWORK NODE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method where a User Equipment (UE) communicates with a Radio Access Network (RAN) node in a set of cells, receiving control information for scheduling resources for a shared channel in at least two cells. The UE communicates with the RAN node in each cell using the scheduled shared channel resources received via a single scheduling downlink control information (DCI) transmission.
- The method involves a UE receiving control information for scheduling resources for a shared channel in multiple cells from a RAN node in a single DCI transmission.
- The UE then communicates with the RAN node in each cell using the scheduled shared channel resources received via the single DCI transmission.
- The scheduling DCI includes a field that carries information for identifying each cell for which resources for a shared channel have been scheduled.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Cellular communication systems
- Wireless networks
- Mobile devices
Problems Solved
This technology solves:
- Efficient resource scheduling in multi-cell environments
- Simplified communication protocols for UEs in different cells
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:

Original Abstract Submitted
A method is disclosed in which a UE communicates with a RAN node in a set of cells. The UE receives, from the RAN node, control information for scheduling resources for a respective shared channel in each of at least two cells of the set of cells. The respective control information for each of the at least two cells of the set of cells is received in a single scheduling downlink control information (DCI) transmission. The UE respectively communicates with the RAN node in each of the at least two cells of the set of cells using the corresponding shared channel resources scheduled via the single scheduling DCI transmission. The scheduling DCI includes a DCI field, and the DCI field carries information for identifying each cell, of the at least two cells of the set of cells, for which resources for a respective shared channel have been scheduled.
