CONFIGURATION FOR GROUP-COMMON DOWNLINK CHANNELS WITH REPETITIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18340746 Titled 'CONFIGURATION FOR GROUP-COMMON DOWNLINK CHANNELS WITH REPETITIONS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a user equipment (UE) can receive a configuration for a group-common physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), which is repeated for a certain number of times. The UE then determines this number of repetitions and monitors the group-common PDSCH accordingly. The group-common PDSCH can have either a semi-static repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated by a group aggregation factor, or a dynamic repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated by a group repetition number. The configuration for the repeated group-common PDSCH can also include gaps between each repetition, and the UE can transmit acknowledgment feedback for each repetition of the group-common PDSCH.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for a group-common physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), where the group-common PDSCH is repeated for a number of repetitions. Accordingly, the UE may determine this number of repetitions and then monitor for the group-common PDSCH based on the number of repetitions. In some implementations, the group-common PDSCH may include a semi-static repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated via a group aggregation factor. Additionally or alternatively, the group-common PDSCH may include a dynamic repetition scheme, where the number of repetitions is indicated via a group repetition number. Additionally, the techniques described herein may enable the configuration for the repeated group-common PDSCH to include gaps between each repetition of the group-common PDSCH and for the UE to transmit acknowledgment feedback for the repetitions of the group-common PDSCH.
