Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for search space grouping to facilitate repeated transmissions of a physical downlink control channel in wireless communication systems.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a device to:
- determine a plurality of search spaces within a repetition unit are associated with a search space group (SSG);
- determine, based on the SSG, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions in the plurality of search spaces are repetitions;
- and
- decode one or more of the PDCCH transmissions in the plurality of search spaces based on determination the PDCCH transmissions are repetitions.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- memory to store group information;
- processing circuitry coupled with the memory to access the group information, the processing circuitry to:
- determine, based on the group information, a plurality of search spaces within a repetition unit are associated with a group;
- determine a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions within the plurality of search spaces are repetitions;
- and
- decode one or more of the plurality of PDCCH transmissions.
3 more elements
A method of operating a gNB comprising:
- generating group configuration information to associate a plurality of search spaces within a repetition unit with a group;
- encoding a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetitions within the plurality of search spaces;
- and
- transmitting the group configuration information and the plurality of PDCCH repetitions.
