Abstract

A method is described for performing the channel estimation of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless communication system. Specifically, The method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting, to a base station, UE capability information related to the channel estimation, receiving, from the base station, information for a PDCCH monitoring span, and performing a channel estimation based on the information for the PDCCH monitoring span, wherein the UE capability information may include information for a maximum number of control channel elements (CCEs) capable of being channel-estimated per PDCCH monitoring span.

Claims (29)

1. A method of monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, UE capability information for a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs that the UE can monitor per monitoring span; and

monitoring non-overlapped CCEs based on the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs,

wherein the UE capability information includes information related to at least one interval between monitoring spans per numerology, and

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on the at least one interval between monitoring spans and the numerology.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a service type, quality of service (QoS), a service requirement and/or a processing time.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing time and/or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation time of the UE.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a transport block size, number of layers and/or number of resource blocks of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a timing gap from a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is configured based on the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to monitor non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver, and

at least one processor functionally coupled to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

transmit, to a base station, UE capability information for a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs that the UE can monitor per monitoring span; and

monitoring non-overlapped CCEs based on the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs,

wherein the UE capability information includes information related to at least one interval between monitoring spans per numerology, and

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on the at least one interval between monitoring spans and the numerology.

7. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a service type, quality of service (QoS), a service requirement and/or a processing time.

8. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing time and/or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation time of the UE.

9. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a transport block size, number of layers and/or number of resource blocks of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

10. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein a timing gap from a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is configured based on the information for the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs.
