Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication systems configured to provide piggyback downlink control information within the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). A first downlink control information portion may be transmitted within the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and may include information indicating a size of a second downlink control information portion transmitted within the PDSCH.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- generating a first downlink control information portion comprising piggyback control information indicating at least a size of a second downlink control information portion;
- generating the second downlink control information portion comprising remaining control information;
- transmitting the first downlink control information portion within a downlink control region of a slot;
- and
- transmitting the second downlink control information portion within a downlink traffic region of the slot.
A scheduling entity within a wireless communication network, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
- and
- a transceiver communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- generate a first downlink control information portion comprising piggyback control information indicating at least a size of a second downlink control information portion;
- generate the second downlink control information portion comprising remaining control information;
- transmit the first downlink control information portion within a downlink control region of a slot;
- and
- transmit the second downlink control information portion within a downlink traffic region of the slot.
A scheduling entity within a wireless communication network, comprising:
- means for generating a first downlink control information portion comprising piggyback control information indicating at least a size of a second downlink control information portion;
- means for generating the second downlink control information portion comprising remaining control information;
- means for transmitting the first downlink control information portion within a downlink control region of a slot;
- and
- means for transmitting the second downlink control information portion within a downlink traffic region of the slot.
