TERMINAL, BASE STATION, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18502665 titled 'TERMINAL, BASE STATION, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a terminal that receives system information from a base station and controls monitoring of a physical downlink control channel based on the received information.

  • The terminal includes a receiving unit for receiving system information from a base station.
  • The system information includes details about the total number of subgroups of a paging occasion and the number of paging occasions.
  • The terminal also receives first downlink control information from the base station, which includes a field indicating a subgroup of the paging occasion.
  • A control unit in the terminal determines the number of bits for the field based on the received system information.
  • The control unit then controls monitoring of a physical downlink control channel for second downlink control information in the paging occasion based on the value of the field.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to efficiently manage downlink control information in paging occasions.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient monitoring of downlink control channels in paging occasions. 2. Optimized allocation of resources based on system information.

Benefits

1. Improved system efficiency. 2. Enhanced communication reliability. 3. Better utilization of network resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized downlink control channel monitoring in wireless communication systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

A terminal includes: a receiving unit which receives, from a base station, system information including information for indicating a total number of subgroups of a paging occasion and information for indicating a number of paging occasions, and which receives, from the base station, first downlink control information including a field for indicating a subgroup of the paging occasion; and a control unit which determines a number of bits for the field based on the information for indicating the total number of subgroups and the information for indicating the number of paging occasions, and which controls monitoring of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for second downlink control information in the paging occasion based on a value of the field.
