Systems and methods for supporting multiple allocations in UL/DL grant for a 5G NR UE and gNB
View Patent ↗A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes a receiving circuitry configured to receive a radio resource control message including first information used for determining a monitoring occasion where the UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a search space. The receiving circuitry is also configured to receive a radio resource control message including second information used for determining downlink control information (DCI) formats which accordingly the UE monitors the PDCCH in the search space. The search space is a UE-specific search space. The monitoring occasion comprises a slot and/or a symbol. The DCI formats include a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and/or a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

the generating circuitry is configured to generate the first information and the second information,
the monitoring occasion for the UE-specific search space corresponds to a position of a slot and a position of a symbol, and
the DCI formats comprise a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in one cell and a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in one cell
the transmitting circuitry is further configured to:
transmit, to the UE, by the radio resource control message, third information used for configuring a monitoring occasion for a common search space where the UE monitors a PDCCH in the common search space; and
transmit, to the UE, by the radio resource control message, fourth information used for configuring a DCI format in accordance with which the UE monitors the PDCCH in the common search space, the DCI format being a DCI format with cyclic redundancy check scrambled by a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (Temporary C-RNTI), the DCI format being used for scheduling of a PUSCH, wherein
the monitoring occasion for the common search space corresponds to a position of a slot and a position of a symbol.
3. A communication method of a user equipment (UE) comprising:

receiving, by the radio resource control message, second information used for configuring downlink control information (DCI) formats in accordance with which the UE monitors the PDCCH in the UE-specific search space, wherein
the monitoring occasion for the UE-specific search space corresponds to a position of a slot and a position of a symbol, and
the DCI formats comprise a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in one cell and a DCI format used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in one cell,
the method further comprising:
receiving, by the radio resource control message, third information used for configuring a monitoring occasion for a common search space where the UE monitors a PDCCH in the common search space; and
receiving, by the radio resource control message, fourth information used for configuring a DCI format in accordance with which the UE monitors the PDCCH in the common search space, the DCI format being a DCI format with cyclic redundancy check scrambled by a temporary cell-radio network temporary identifier (Temporary C-RNTI), the DCI format being used for scheduling of a PUSCH, wherein
the monitoring occasion for the common search space corresponds to a position of a slot and a position of a symbol.
