Control Indicator for Power Saving in a Mobile Wireless Communication Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18403571 titled 'Control Indicator for Power Saving in a Mobile Wireless Communication Device
Simplified Explanation
A wireless communication device receives information indicating the availability of physical control channels for decoding. The device decodes the channels if they are available, reducing power consumption by eliminating unnecessary decoding.
- Wireless communication device receives control indicator information (CII)
- Decodes candidate physical control channels (PCCs) if available
- CII may be received in the same slot as PCCs or in a narrowband slot
- PCCs may be received in the same slot as physical data channels (PDCs) or in a preceding slot
- Reduces power consumption by eliminating unnecessary blind decoding
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems where power efficiency is crucial, such as mobile devices, IoT devices, and industrial wireless networks.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of unnecessary power consumption caused by blind decoding of physical control channels that may not be intended for the device.
Benefits
- Reduced power consumption - Efficient use of available physical control channels - Improved overall performance of wireless communication devices
Commercial Applications
- Power-efficient mobile devices
- Enhanced IoT device connectivity
- Improved performance of industrial wireless networks
Prior Art
There is no known prior art related to this specific technology.
Frequently Updated Research
There is ongoing research in the field of wireless communication systems to further optimize power consumption and efficiency.
Questions about Wireless Communication Device
Question 1
How does the device determine which physical control channels to decode?
The device decodes physical control channels based on the control indicator information (CII) received, indicating the availability of candidate channels for decoding.
Question 2
What are the potential drawbacks of blind decoding physical control channels?
Blind decoding of physical control channels that are not intended for the device can lead to unnecessary power consumption and inefficiency in wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wireless communication device (UE) may receive control indicator information (CII) indicating whether one or more candidate physical control channels (PCCs) are available to the UE for decoding. The UE may perform respective blind decoding if the CII indicates that the one or more candidate PCCs are available, to decode a respective PCC intended for the UE. The UE may receive the CII in the same slot in which PCCs are transmitted, or it may receive the CII in another slot, which may be a narrowband slot. The UE may receive the PCCs in the same slot in which corresponding physical data channels (PDCs) are transmitted, or it may receive the PCCs in another slot, e.g. a slot immediately preceding the slot in which the corresponding PDCs are transmitted. By eliminating unnecessary blind decoding and receiving the CII over narrowband, power consumption of the UE may be greatly reduced.
