AI Technical Summary
Current multi-cell scheduling technologies in wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing different numerologies across cells, which affects the scheduling flexibility and resource allocation in heterogeneous networks.
The proposed solution involves a method for multi-cell scheduling that allows co-scheduled cells to be configured with different sub-carrier spacings (SCS), enabling more flexible scheduling by determining the blind decoding (BD)/control channel element (CCE) budget based on the lowest or highest configured numerology within a set of cells.
This approach enhances scheduling flexibility and resource allocation efficiency by allowing cells to operate with different numerologies while maintaining compliance with existing BD/CCE budgets, thereby supporting a greater variety of network implementations.
