Abstract
Various solutions for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring enhancement for carrier aggregation (CA) with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may transmit a capability report to indicate a supported PDCCH monitoring capability to a network node. The apparatus may receive a PDCCH monitoring configuration compliant with the supported PDCCH monitoring capability from the network node. The apparatus may determine a monitoring budget based on the PDCCH monitoring configuration and the supported PDCCH monitoring capability. The apparatus may perform a PDCCH monitoring according to the monitoring budget.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a processor of an apparatus, a capability report to indicate a supported physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capability to a network node;
- receiving, by the processor, a PDCCH monitoring configuration compliant with the supported PDCCH monitoring capability from the network node;
- determining, by the processor, a monitoring budget based on the PDCCH monitoring configuration and the supported PDCCH monitoring capability;
- and
- performing, by the processor, a PDCCH monitoring according to the monitoring budget,
- wherein the supported PDCCH monitoring capability comprises a supported span arrangement.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver which, during operation, wirelessly communicates with a network node of a wireless network;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver such that, during operation, the processor performs operations comprising:
- transmitting, via the transceiver, a capability report to indicate a supported physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capability to a network node;
- receiving, via the transceiver, a PDCCH monitoring configuration compliant with the supported PDCCH monitoring capability from the network node;
- determining a monitoring budget based on the PDCCH monitoring configuration and the supported PDCCH monitoring capability;
- and
- performing a PDCCH monitoring according to the monitoring budget,
- wherein the supported PDCCH monitoring capability comprises a supported span arrangement.
