In a first embodiment, an explicit indication of the uplink suspension is included in the DCI payload. In a second embodiment, the CRC of the DCI is scrambled using a RNTI allocated specifically for uplink suspension indications. In a third embodiment, the base station transmits an RRC signal to a UE instructing it to monitor for DCI on a mini-slot basis or in a search space predefined for receiving suspension indications. The system may be used with ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) in a 5G New Radio network.

Title: Improvements in or relating to well abandonment and slot recovery
Inventor: DAVID STEWART
IPC: E21B29/00
Filed: 2019-05-24
Abstract: A downhole assembly and method of operating an actuator on a pipe string in a low level well. The actuator 16 includes a piston 15 within a chamber 17 on which fluid can act on either side to hydraulically activate the actuator. A hydrostatic equilibrium device 18 and a valve 36, 38 are mounted around the hydraulic actuator. With a radial port of the hydrostatic equilibrium device closed and the valve closed to seal the string, pumping fluid through the string operates the actuator. Pressure overbalance prevents movement of the piston. The radial port is opened to drain fluid from the string until equilibrium is reached with the annular volume and the piston can be moved. A method of casing recovery is described wherein the actuator operates a hydraulic jack and the assembly also includes a casing spear and optionally a casing cutter. The hydraulic jack can be reset multiple times in the well.
