  • Patent number: 10925037
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wireless communication method and an eNode B and user equipment therefor. The method comprises a step of transmitting multiple PDCCH or EPDCCH repetitions respectively in multiple successive downlink subframes with a transmission repetition number and a transmission starting subframe.

  • Publication number: 20210034365
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for task orchestrating, an orchestrator, a device and a readable storage medium. According to the method provided in the present disclosure, task scripts are edited as descriptive language scripts, and data dependency relationships between source tables and target tables in the tasks corresponding to the task scripts are automatically generated according to the descriptive language scripts of the tasks. The execution of the tasks is driven in a data-driven manner according to the data dependency relationships between the source tables and the target tables in the tasks. There is no need for a technical person to manually edit the workflow file. When some tasks change, the data dependency relationships between the source and target tables in the tasks can be automatically updated according to the task scripts, without affecting the orchestration process between tasks.

  • Publication number: 20200252921
    Abstract: In a control channel resource transmission method, user equipment (UE) obtains a configuration parameter in a candidate control channel set according to a preset protocol and/or higher-layer signaling sent by a base station, where the higher-layer signaling is used to notify the configuration parameter. The UE determines an antenna port according to the obtained configuration parameter, and then receives, through the antenna port, a control channel or a control channel element sent by the base station. The base station determines the antenna port according to the same configuration parameter as that of the user equipment, and sends, by using the antenna port, the control channel or the control channel element to the user equipment.
