DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION INACTIVITY TIMER FOR PDCCH REPETITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364204 titled 'DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION INACTIVITY TIMER FOR PDCCH REPETITION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for a User Equipment (UE) to determine if a detected Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate with repetition. The apparatus monitors for a PDCCH based on a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration, which includes an inactivity timer. It then determines if the detected PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate with multiple repetitions, and whether a new transmission is scheduled. The inactivity timer is started in the first symbol after the end of at least one of the PDCCH repetitions.
- Apparatus monitors for PDCCH based on DRX configuration
- Determines if detected PDCCH corresponds to linked PDCCH candidate with repetitions
- Checks if new transmission is scheduled
- Inactivity timer starts after end of at least one PDCCH repetition
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in wireless communication systems, particularly in LTE and 5G networks, to improve the efficiency of PDCCH detection and decoding processes.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient detection of PDCCH in wireless communication systems. 2. Improved reliability in determining linked PDCCH candidates with repetitions.
Benefits
1. Enhanced performance and reliability of PDCCH detection. 2. Optimal utilization of resources in wireless networks. 3. Increased data transmission efficiency.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing PDCCH Detection Efficiency in Wireless Communication Systems"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be methods for PDCCH detection and decoding in wireless communication systems, but specific techniques for determining linked PDCCH candidates with repetitions may not have been addressed.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact battery life in UEs?
The article does not mention the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of User Equipment (UE). It would be interesting to know if the implementation of this method has any effect on power consumption.
Are there any limitations to the number of PDCCH repetitions that can be linked in this method?
The article does not specify if there are any limitations to the number of PDCCH repetitions that can be linked as candidates. It would be important to understand if there are constraints on the maximum number of repetitions that can be effectively managed in this process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A configuration to allow a UE to determine if a detected PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate with repetition. The apparatus monitors for a PDCCH based on a DRX configuration, the DRX configuration having an inactivity timer. The apparatus determines whether the PDCCH corresponds to a linked PDCCH candidate and a new transmission is scheduled, wherein the linked PDCCH candidate is comprised of two or more PDCCH repetitions. The apparatus starts the inactivity timer in a first symbol after an end of at least one of the two or more PDCCH repetitions.
