Paging Occasion Resource Determination in Wireless Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication networks, determining paging occasion resources is challenging due to unknown resources, which affects efficient communication and resource allocation.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine a first control resource set for receiving or transmitting system information, and if no different resource set is indicated, use the same set to determine a paging occasion, allowing for flexible allocation of radio resources and efficient resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate control resource sets are used for system information and paging occasions, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by allowing a single control resource set to serve multiple functions: it can be used for both system information transmission and paging occasion determination. The network can configure a control resource set that is commonly shared between these two purposes, eliminating the need for separate dedicated resource sets and thereby reducing signaling overhead while maintaining allocation flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the control resource sets for system information and paging occasions into a single shared resource set. By combining these previously separate functions into one unified control resource set, the patent reduces the total signaling required for resource configuration while preserving the ability to allocate resources flexibly for different purposes within the same set.
2Productivity
If minimal signaling overhead is used for paging resource allocation, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but resource allocation flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves high resource utilization efficiency through universality by designing a control resource set that can be universally applied to both system information and paging occasions. This multi-functional approach minimizes the signaling required for resource allocation while maintaining the flexibility to adapt resource assignment based on network conditions and service requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the control resource set configuration to be dynamically adjusted for different purposes. The same control resource set can be flexibly allocated to system information or paging occasions based on current network conditions, allowing efficient resource utilization while preserving adaptability through dynamic reconfiguration capabilities.

AI summary
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining paging occasion resources. One method includes determining a first control resource set for receiving system information. The method includes determining to use a second control resource set to determine a paging occasion. The first control resource set is the same as the second control resource set in response to not receiving information indicating to use a different control resource set than the first control resource set.
