PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL LIMIT HANDLING FOR ENHANCED CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032656 titled 'PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL LIMIT HANDLING FOR ENHANCED CROSS-CARRIER SCHEDULING
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a communication device that can monitor PDCCH candidates on a primary cell in a communications network. - The device can determine the maximum number of monitoring elements based on the configuration of secondary cells and the number of control resource set pools. - Once the maximum number of monitoring elements is determined, the device can monitor the PDCCH candidates on the secondary cell based on this maximum number.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication device in a communications network can monitor physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, candidates on a primary cell, PCell, for PCell assignments. The communication device can further determine a maximum number of monitoring elements based on at least one of a higher layer configuration related to secondary cell, SCell, to PCell scheduling and a number of control resource set, coreset, pools configured for PDCCH monitoring on the SCell and/or the PCell. The communication device can further, responsive to determining the maximum number of monitoring elements, monitor the PDCCH candidates on the SCell based on the maximum number of monitoring elements.
