Publication number: 20220338177Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product modifying the usage of control resources for data transmission by focusing on reducing overhead of the control channel in order to maximize the spectral efficiency by configuring physical resources into two parts for an allocation into control information for the first part, and data for both the first part and the second part or data for only the second part. Data allocation in the first part based is derived based on the data allocation in the second part and the control information allocation in the first part. The number of control symbols within a subframe or transmission time interval is minimized on the downlink control signaling, used mainly for downlink and uplink grant signaling, and for the uplink HARQ ACK/NACK feedback. Where overhead is not the only problem, usage of two symbols is proposed due to the limitations of radio frequency beamforming.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Kari P. PAJUKOSKI, Esa T. TIIROLA, Sami-Jukka HAKOLA, Eeva LAHETKANGAS
