COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT, COMMUNICATION METHODS, BASE STATION, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUITS FOR CONTROLLING THE PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT AND BASE STATION

Abstract

The invention proposes communication devices and methods for implementing Control Resource Set ZeiO (CORESET #0) for RedCap wireless devices. The communication devices comprise a receiver which, when operational, receives a physical downlink control signal (PDCCH) on the zero-control resource set (CORESET #0) where time and frequency resources are determined based on the bandwidth configuration of the RedCap user device (RedCap UE) and receives a physical downlink shared channel type 1 (SIB1) scheduled based on CORESET #0; and a circuit which, in operation, determines control information and parameters (from the PDCCH on CORESET#0) to read SIB1 for initial access, handover or burst fault recovery.
