Method for receiving dci in unlicensed spectrum using bwp
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11974292B2) discloses a method for receiving downlink control information (DCI) by a terminal in an unlicensed spectrum. The method involves receiving bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information from an access network device, determining sub-bands of the target BWP, monitoring a target sequence on the sub-bands to identify successful Listen Before Talk (LBT) or DCI transmission, and monitoring DCI on the sub-bands after detecting the target sequence. The patent also includes methods for transmitting DCI by an access network device, determining target sub-bands based on LBT results, and transmitting DCI to the terminal on the sub-bands.
Furthermore, the patent covers the configuration of a target BWP in an unlicensed spectrum with multiple sub-bands, the use of LBT to identify transmission opportunities, and the transmission of DCI to terminals based on the determined sub-bands. The patent also includes claims related to the consecutive arrangement of sub-bands in the frequency domain, the transmission of control resource sets, and the implementation of the methods by access network devices and terminals. Overall, the patent aims to optimize the reception and transmission of DCI in unlicensed spectrum environments, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems.
