Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If dynamic search space configuration is implemented for MBS channels, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The search space is divided into multiple types (first type and second type) with different configurations. The first search space type is configured for specific MBS channels while the second type is configured for common MBS channels, allowing differentiated resource allocation and reducing overall system complexity through structured segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station dynamically configures search spaces based on MBS service requirements. The network can flexibly adjust search space parameters including monitoring occasions, periodicity, and resource allocation according to traffic patterns and service priorities, enabling adaptive optimization of MBS data transmission efficiency.
2Loss of time
If blind decoding is reduced through search space optimization, then processing overhead is decreased, but detection precision may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
Different search space types are assigned different quality characteristics. The first search space type is optimized for specific MBS channels with tailored monitoring configurations, while the second type provides broader coverage for common channels. This localized optimization reduces blind decoding requirements while maintaining adequate detection precision for each channel type.
Solution Approach 2:
The base station pre-configures search space parameters and resource allocations before MBS data transmission begins. By establishing monitoring occasions, periodicity, and resource mappings in advance, the system eliminates the need for extensive blind decoding at the UE side, reducing processing time while maintaining detection accuracy through predetermined optimal configurations.

AI summary
In a first aspect, a communication control method is used in a mobile communication system for providing a multicast broadcast service (MBS) from a base station to a user equipment, the communication control method including: broadcasting, by a base station, an MBS system information block; and transmitting, by the base station, scheduling information of an MBS traffic channel on an MBS control channel, in which the MBS system information block includes a search space identifier for a user equipment to receive the MBS control channel, and the search space identifier indicates a search space that is a resource range to be decoded by the user equipment in a physical downlink control channel associated with the MBS control channel.
