APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMMUNICATION OVER COMMON CONTROL CHANNELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18233571 titled 'APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMMUNICATION OVER COMMON CONTROL CHANNELS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for communication over common control channels.

  • The method involves a User Equipment (UE) determining a selected Common Control Channel (CCCH) message configuration.
  • The UE generates an Uplink (UL) CCCH message according to the selected CCCH message configuration.
  • The UL CCCH message includes a Medium Access Control (MAC) header with a Logical Channel Identify (ID) field.
  • The UE transmits the UL CCCH message to a Next Generation Node B (gNB) over a logical channel corresponding to the selected CCCH message configuration.


Original Abstract Submitted

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of communication over common control channels. For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a User Equipment (UE) to determine a selected Common Control Channel (CCCH) message configuration from a first predefined message configuration and a second predefined message configuration, the first predefined message configuration having a first predefined message bit-size, the second predefined message configuration having a second predefined message bit-size; to generate an Uplink (UL) CCCH message according to the selected CCCH message configuration, the UL CCCH message comprising a Medium Access Control (MAC) header comprising a Logical Channel Identify (ID) (LCID) field having a value corresponding to the selected CCCH message configuration; and to transmit the UL CCCH message to a Next Generation Node B (gNB) over a logical channel corresponding to the selected CCCH message configuration.
