  • Publication number: 20230284256
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for signaling control information for coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission in a wireless communication system. The control information signaling method for CoMP transmission is performed by a base station and comprises providing, through RRC signaling, a terminal with setup information on each CSI-RS resource of a CoMP measurement group which is set in the terminal; and selectively providing, through DCI, the terminal with control information which indicates mapping of the PDSCH resource element corresponding to terminal and at least either pseudo-same positionality information of CSI-RS or pseudo-same positionality information of DM-RS. Thus, control information signaling for coordinated multipoint transmission can be efficiently performed.

  • Patent number: 11743905
    Abstract: Data transmission and reception is provided by configuring control channels in a wireless communication system using a plurality of carriers. User equipment (UE) may monitor physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates within common search spaces (CSSs) and User Equipment-specific search spaces (USSs). If the UE is configured with cross-carrier scheduling, when two PDCCH candidates originating from a CSS and a USS, respectively, have cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by the same Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) and have a common payload size and the same first control channel element (CCE) index, the UE may interpret that only the PDCCH originating from the CSS is transmitted, thereby solving ambiguity of downlink control information (DCI) detection.
