Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing resource allocation for control channels, particularly in next-generation radio access technologies like NR, which require enhanced mobile broadband, massive MTC, and Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC), leading to inefficiencies in resource utilization and increased latency.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of a method for monitoring physical control channels (PDCCH) based on CORESET settings, where the duration on the time axis is composed of 4 or more symbols, optimizing resource allocation and enhancing communication efficiency.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the control channel monitoring process by introducing specific monitoring occasions and associating multiple search space sets with a single CORESET. This segmentation allows the system to efficiently utilize extended CORESET duration without proportionally increasing device complexity, as the segmentation enables structured and manageable resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic configurations for CORESET monitoring by allowing flexible association between search space sets and CORESETs, and by defining monitoring occasions that can be dynamically adjusted. This dynamic approach enables the system to adapt resource allocation to varying traffic conditions while maintaining manageable device complexity through standardized procedures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal framework that supports multiple next-generation communication technologies (eMBB, massive MTC, URLLC) through a common CORESET monitoring mechanism. By designing a multi-functional system where search space sets can be associated with CORESETs in flexible configurations, the patent achieves improved communication efficiency across different service types without requiring separate complex systems for each technology.
