Patent ID: 11576062

Abstract:
Since multiple transmit-receive point (TRP) communications may increase the number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates or non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) without increasing the number of cells, new limits for multi-TRP communications including overbooking may be defined. A UE may determine whether a per scheduled cell limit is greater than a per TRP limit for a primary cell. The UE may identify, based on the determining, a set of search spaces of a PDCCH on which overbooking is permitted. The UE may receive the PDCCH from the primary cell within the slot. The UE may perform blind decoding operations on CCEs within the identified set of search spaces of the PDCCH within at least a total monitoring limit for a group of component carriers having a same sub-carrier spacing (SCS) as the primary cell and the per cell monitoring limit for the primary cell.
