  • Publication number: 20230379123
    Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for handling a Control Resource Set (CORESET) from a network node in a wireless communications network is provided. The UE operates with a reduced bandwidth. The UE detects a CORESET from the network node, and that a bandwidth of the CORESET is larger than the bandwidth of the UE. Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) candidates are transmitted in the CORESET. The UE determines which part of the CORESET to skip, to make the bandwidth of the CORESET equal or smaller than the bandwidth of the UE, such that the UE is capable of receiving the CORESET. The part of the CORESET to be skipped is determined based on a predicted decoding performance of the PDCCH candidates in the CORESET.

  • Patent number: 11825473
    Abstract: A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in idle mode, for determining common search space (CSS) for NB-IoT paging is disclosed. The method comprises determining a set of periodic subframes as a Paging Occasion (PO) subframe pattern. The method further comprises monitoring a starting subframe of paging CSS for a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI). The starting subframe of paging CSS is determined as follows: a first subframe (SF0) defined by the Paging Occasion subframe pattern, is used when SF0 is determined to be a valid downlink subframe. A next valid downlink subframe after SF0 is used when SF0 is determined to be an invalid downlink subframe.

  • Patent number: 11818761
    Abstract: The load on Random Access channels (N)PRACH (i.e., Msg1) is temporally distributed, to better handle synchronized access peaks from machine type devices. Access attempts by wireless devices are distributed in time, based on their identities (e.g., IMSI, which is used for the distribution of paging load) or random draw. The distribution restricts when 5 wireless devices can access the network, either based on System Frame Number or on random access occurrence. The method is implicit, i.e., after the initial System Information (SI) acquisition, wireless devices will automatically apply temporal network access load distribution according to the configuration provided in SI without any need for explicit signaling or re-acquisition of SI. Embodiments of the invention may be advantageously applied to any wireless 10 communication network supporting machine type communications, such as GPRS/EGPRS/ECGSM-IoT and UMTS/HSPA, as well as non-3GPP radio access technologies such as LoRa, Sigfox, and Ingenu.

  • Publication number: 20230344687
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting subcarriers to be used for sub-Physical Resource Block (PRB) transmission and, in some embodiments, for mapping Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS) to resources on the selected subcarriers are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a radio node for providing sub-PRB transmission comprises selecting two adjacent subcarriers from a set of three allocated subcarriers that are allocated for a sub-PRB transmission that uses Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) Pi/2 Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation using only two adjacent subcarriers out of the set of three allocated subcarriers with Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spread length of 2. In some embodiments, the selection is such that the selected adjacent subcarriers varies, e.g., from one cell to another. In doing so, interference is distributed.
