METHODS AND APPARATUS OF ENHANCED PDCCH CANDIDATE MONITORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18284670 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS OF ENHANCED PDCCH CANDIDATE MONITORING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatus for enhanced monitoring of Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) candidates. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The method involves receiving configurations of multiple search space sets linked for PDCCH transmission with multiple repetitions.
  • The PDCCH repetitions are transmitted on linked candidates.
  • The processor determines if there is a collision between linked candidates and a reserved resource.
  • A candidate monitoring scheme is provided if a collision is detected between a candidate and a reserved resource.
      1. Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatus of enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) candidate monitoring are disclosed. The method includes: receiving, by a receiver, configurations of a plurality of search space sets that are linked for a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission with a plurality of repetitions; wherein the plurality of repetitions of the PDCCH are transmitted on a plurality of linked candidates; determining, by a processor, whether there is a collision between at least one of the linked candidates and a reserved resource; and providing, by the processor, a candidate monitoring scheme in response to a determination that a first candidate of the linked candidates collides with the reserved resource.
