  • Patent number: 11617169
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide various flexible search space designs that can handle UEs with various capabilities and limitations. In some aspects of the disclosure, the downlink bandwidth may be divided into several self-contained sub-bands. Each sub-band may include one or more OFDM subcarriers or tones, and each UE may be configured to monitor one or more of the sub-bands for its downlink control channel. The sub-band is self-contained in such a way that each sub-band includes CCEs that are mapped to resource elements contained in the same sub-band. In some aspects of the disclosure, different sub-bands can be configured with the different transmission modes and pilot densities. The transmission mode, pilot density, and layer-ID may be determined as a function of each UE's search space.

  • Patent number: 11601844
    Abstract: A shared Radio Network Node, RNN, and a method for managing overload in a core network. The shared RNN is configured to serve a wireless device, and the wireless device and the RNN are operating in a wireless communications network connected to the core network. The RNN receives a connection request from the wireless device, wherein the connection request comprises a mapping parameter configured to map to an MME connected to the RNN. Further, the MME is logically partitioned into several MMEs and configured to support multiple MME Codes, MMECs, each of which MMECs is pointing at a sharing operator. The mapping parameter comprises an MMEC configured to map to one MMEC supported by the MME. Further, the RNN rejects or redirects the connection request when the MMEC configured to map to one MMEC supported by the MME is associated with an overload action.
