This affects PDCCH scheduling and monitoring, and reduces network performance. Summary of the Invention

[0054] Wherein k is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than (number of time slot groups - 1).

[0055] Example 1

[0056] The first embodiment of the present application provides a PDCCH over-configuration and discarding method. The technical scenario implemented by the embodiment of the present application may be: the offset of the earliest time slot group in the sliding time slot group set configured by high-level parameters = 0, the number of time slots contained in the sliding time slot group N = 4, and the sliding time slot sliding granularity is 1 time slot sliding. The first sliding time slot group set in the current wireless frame starts at time slot 0 and contains 4 time slot groups. The first time slot group contains slots 0 to 3, the second time slot group contains slots 1 to 4, the third time slot group contains slots 2 to 5, the fourth time slot group contains slots 3 to 6, and the second sliding time slot group set starts at time slot 4 and contains 4 time slot groups. The over-configuration in the embodiment of the present application only occurs in the earliest time slot group. This method is as follows Figure 3A As shown, the schematic diagram of the sliding time slot group is as follows Figure 3B The method is as follows:

[0057] Step S301: The UE receives a high-level parameter configuration, which includes: the offset of the earliest time slot group in the sliding time slot group set = 0. The configuration may also include: the number of time slots N = 4, and the sliding time slot sliding granularity = 1.

[0058] Step S302: The UE determines the first time slot group in the sliding time slot set (i.e., the earliest time slot group, i.e., Figure 3B The sliding 1) shown has over-configuration, and the UE discards part of the PDCCH search space.

[0059] The method for the UE to discard part of the PDCCH search space may adopt an existing method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] The technical solution provided by this application, when a cell is configured for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, determines that the first slot group in a sliding slot group set is over-allocated, and the UE discards part of the PDCCH search space. Therefore, this technical solution can determine the location of over-allocated PDCCH candidates and the number of non-overlapping CCEs, enabling the UE to discard them, thereby improving network performance.

[0061] In such Figure 3AIn the embodiment shown, the above step S301 may also be replaced by the following steps.

[0062] Step S301-1: The UE receives a high-layer parameter configuration, which includes: the earliest time slot group in the sliding time slot group set starts at time slot 0. The configuration may also include: the number of time slots N=4, and the sliding time slot sliding granularity=1.

[0063] Of course, in practical applications, such as Figure 3A The step S301 shown can also be replaced by the following steps:

[0064] Step S301-2: The UE receives a high-level parameter configuration, which includes: the earliest time slot group in the sliding time slot group set starts at the earliest PDCCH monitoring time (ie, time slot 0). The configuration may also include: number of time slots N=4, sliding time slot sliding granularity=1.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] The second embodiment of the present application provides a PDCCH over-configuration and discarding method. The technical scenario implemented by the embodiment of the present application can be: the offset of the earliest time slot group of the sliding time slot group set configured by high-level parameters = 0, the number of time slots contained in the sliding time slot group N = 4, and the sliding time slot sliding granularity is 1 time slot sliding. The first sliding time slot group set in the current wireless frame starts at time slot 0 and contains 4 time slot groups. The first time slot group contains slots 0 to 3, the second time slot group contains slots 1 to 4, the third time slot group contains slots 2 to 5, the fourth time slot group contains slots 3 to 6, and the second sliding time slot group set starts at time slot 4 and contains 4 time slot groups. The over-configuration in the embodiment of the present application only occurs in the earliest time slot group. This method is as Figure 4A As shown, the schematic diagram of the sliding time slot group is as follows Figure 4B The method is as follows:

[0067] Step S401: The UE receives a high-level parameter configuration, which includes: the offset of the earliest time slot group in the sliding time slot group set = 0. The configuration may also include: the number of time slots N = 4, and the sliding time slot sliding granularity = 1.

[0068] Step S402: The UE determines any time slot group in the sliding time slot set (e.g. Figure 4B The sliding 3) shown has over-configuration, and the UE discards part of the PDCCH search space.

[0069] The technical solution provided by this application, when a cell is configured for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, determines that any slot group in a sliding slot group set has an over-allocation, and the UE discards part of the PDCCH search space. Therefore, this technical solution can determine the location of over-allocation of PDCCH candidates and the number of non-overlapping CCEs, enabling the UE to discard them, thereby improving network performance.

[0070] The method for confirming the earliest time slot may refer to step S301 - 1 or step S301 - 2 of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Example 3

[0072] Embodiment 3 of the present application provides a PDCCH over-configuration and discarding method. The technical scenario implemented by the embodiment of the present application may be: the offset of the earliest time slot group of the sliding time slot group set configured by high-level parameters = 0, the number of time slots contained in the sliding time slot group N = 4, and the sliding time slot sliding granularity is 1 time slot sliding. The first sliding time slot group set in the current wireless frame starts at time slot 0 and contains 4 time slot groups. The first time slot group contains slots 0 to 3, the second time slot group contains slots 1 to 4, the third time slot group contains slots 2 to 5, the fourth time slot group contains slots 3 to 6, and the second sliding time slot group set starts at time slot 4 and contains 4 time slot groups. The over-configuration in the embodiment of the present application only occurs in the earliest time slot group. This method is as follows Figure 5A As shown, the schematic diagram of the sliding time slot group is as follows Figure 5B The method is as follows:

[0073] Step S501: The UE receives a high-level parameter configuration, which includes: the offset of the earliest time slot group in the sliding time slot group set = 0. The configuration may also include: the number of time slots N = 4, and the sliding time slot sliding granularity = 1.

[0074] Step S502: The UE determines multiple time slot groups (such as Figure 5B Sliding 3) is shown with over-provisioning.

[0075] Step S503: The UE determines the first time slot group in a sliding time slot group set, records the listening position of the search space 2 to be discarded, and discards it; when determining the third time slot group, the listening position of the search space 3 is discarded (i.e., Figure 5B The gray positions in SS2 (listening positions in search space 2) and the gray positions in SS3 (listening positions in search space 3) are shown as discarded.

[0076] The technical solution provided by this application, when a cell is configured for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, determines that multiple slot groups in a sliding slot group set are over-allocated, and the UE discards part of the PDCCH search space. Therefore, this technical solution can determine the location of over-allocated PDCCH candidates and the number of non-overlapping CCEs, enabling the UE to discard them, thereby improving network performance.

[0077] The method for confirming the earliest time slot may refer to step S301 - 1 or step S301 - 2 of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.
