URLLC Search Space Switching for Uplink Cancellation Monitoring

The patent applies dynamics by making the monitoring configuration adaptive rather than static. The network entity dynamically configures different monitoring periodicities and reference time durations based on the specific search space set and traffic conditions. This allows the system to adjust monitoring intensity in real-time, performing frequent monitoring when URLLC traffic requires it while reducing monitoring frequency during normal operation, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and power consumption.

The patent implements local quality by applying different monitoring configurations to different search space sets rather than using a uniform configuration across all search spaces. Each search space set can have its own monitoring periodicity and reference time duration tailored to its specific requirements. This localized approach ensures that frequent monitoring is applied only where necessary for URLLC support while other search spaces use less intensive monitoring, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining reliability where needed.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the search space monitoring function into multiple independent search space sets, each with its own configuration parameters. Instead of managing one complex monolithic configuration, the system segments monitoring into separate sets that can be independently configured and managed. Each search space set has its own monitoring periodicity and reference time duration, allowing the device to handle multiple configurations in a modular fashion, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

The patent implements universality by designing a unified configuration framework that can accommodate multiple search space sets with different parameters. The network entity provides a universal configuration mechanism that handles diverse monitoring requirements through a consistent interface. The user equipment uses a universal processing approach to manage multiple configurations, applying the same fundamental procedures across different search space sets regardless of their specific parameters, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining versatility.
