  • Patent number: 11457510
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive information, via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, regarding a search space of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for obtaining downlink control information (DCI) from a radio access network (RAN) node. Based on a slot format (SF) index in the DCI, the UE may determine a slot format for communicating with the RAN node, and communicate with the RAN node in accordance with the slot format. Additionally, a UE may communicate UE capability information, which may include a maximum number of blind decode attempts (BDAs), to the RAN node. The UE may determine shortened channel control elements (sCCEs) to be used, by the RAN node, to transmit shortened downlink control information (sDCI) via a shortened physical downlink control channel (sPDCCH), obtain sDCI by monitoring the sPDCCH in accordance with the determined sCCEs, and communicate with the RAN node in accordance with the sDCI.

  • Patent number: 11323217
    Abstract: Presented herein is a tone plan that can accommodate multiple bandwidth options. This tone plan may be designed around a fundamental tile, such as 20 MHz tile, that is replicated to 40 and 80 MHz (and 160 MHz and beyond). For wider bandwidths, the otherwise-unused guard tones between the 20 MHz tiles are filled by a new resource unit and DC tones. There are DC tones placed to support any client, for all defined and plausible future values of its current operating bandwidth and center frequency (i.e. any 20 MHz, any 40 MHz, any 80 MHz, 160 MHz and 80+80 MHz, 320, 160+80 etc.), as well as plausible future preamble puncturing cases.
