Systems and methods for performing efficient blind decoding. A first plurality of decision metrics corresponding to a first repetition of periodic decoding information is stored. The first plurality of decision metrics is grouped into sequential portions. A plurality of combined versions of the sequential portions is stored into combining buffers arranged in sequence. Each combined version is associated with a different sequence of timing information. A first of the plurality of combined versions stored in a first of the combining buffers is combined with a second version of a second plurality of decision metrics that corresponds to a second repetition of the periodic decoding information. The second version is associated with timing information adjacent in the timing information sequence to the timing information associated with the first combined version. The data is decoded based on information in the combining buffers.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for receiving control information through an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), the method includes receiving a subframe which includes one or more EPDCCH physical resource block (PRB) sets, and attempting to decode one or more EPDCCH candidates in each of the EPDCCH PRB sets. When the transmission areas of the EPDCCH PRB set and a first signal overlap with each other, information relating to the EPDCCH candidate or information relating to the decoding is determined to be different according to one or both of EPDCCH PRB set type and/or cell identity (ID).

This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for fifth generation new radio uplink multiplexing assisted by shared grant-free transmission. A user equipment (UE) inserts a first cyclical redundancy check (CRC) into a transport block (TB), encodes the TB, including the CRC, into a codeword (CW). Based on receiving a preemption indicator for part of a first physical resource, the UE selects a first part of the CW for rate matching with a length based on a received uplink (UL) grant and the received preemption indicator. The UE transmits the first part of the CW using the first physical resource, selects a second part of the CW, inserts a second CRC in the selected second part of the CW, and transmits the second part of the CW using a second physical resource.

A method for acquiring control information by a device-to-device (D2D) terminal in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: determining a resource region in which control information is transmitted on the basis of a D2D occupied bandwidth; and acquiring the control information from the resource region.

A method for error handling of an interconnection protocol, a controller and a storage device are provided. The method for error handling of an interconnection protocol is for use in a first device that is linkable to a second device according to the interconnection protocol, the method comprising: during or after a power mode change of a link between the first device and the second device: a) triggering, by the first device, a first line reset signal to the second device; b) performing, by the first device, suppression of detected rate overlap errors; and c) stopping the suppression of detected rate overlap errors after the first device receives a second line reset signal from the second device.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, configuration information including multiple transmission configuration indication (TCI) states associated with a control resource set (CORESET). The UE may receive, from the base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a region associated with the CORESET, wherein the PDCCH includes at least one control channel element (CCE). The UE may perform blind decoding for multiple configured PDCCH candidates based at least in part on a resource element group (REG) bundle included in the at least one CCE, wherein the multiple configured PDCCH candidates are associated with one or more of the multiple TC states associated with the CORESET. Accordingly, the UE may identify the PDCCH transmitted by the base station based at least in part on the blind decoding.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for receiving an encoded data packet, one or more activation commands, and a communication identifier, decoding the received data packet, validating the decoded received data packet, and executing one or more routines associated with the respective one or more activation commands.

The present invention is designed to make it possible to adequately form the search space candidates to be used in the blind decoding of downlink control information when the radio resource region for downlink control channels is expanded. The radio base station of the present invention is a radio base station that transmits downlink control information for a user terminal by using an enhanced downlink control channel that is frequency-division-multiplexed with a downlink shared data channel, and has a configuring section that configures, for the user terminal, a plurality of resource sets that are each formed by including a plurality of resource blocks allocated to the enhanced downlink control channel, and a determining section that determines enhanced control channel elements to constitute a plurality of search space candidates such that the plurality of search space candidates of each resource set are all placed in different resource blocks.

In 5G and 6G, a user device is expected to perform an arduous blind search in each downlink control space to detect its DCI (downlink control information) messages. To save energy and complexity, especially for reduced-capability IoT applications, low-complexity procedures are disclosed that enable each user to request a custom search-space comprising one or more specific times and frequencies. Each downlink control or data message then starts in the custom search-space. The data or control messages may include the user's ID code, in plain text (as opposed to complex encoding) and/or the length of the message, so that the user can readily identify its messages. The user device may thereby readily separate its messages from the stream of incoming data. Result: saved time and energy, fewer dropped messages, and generally improved network performance, especially for simpler processors and devices.

Methods and apparatuses for a User Equipment (UE) to receive signaling of UE-common Downlink Control Information (DCI) in a set of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) over a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) are provided. The method includes receiving, from a transmission point, a broadcast signal; determining a first set of PRBs for a first PDCCH based on the broadcast signal; determining a second set of PRBs for a second PDCCH based on a higher layer signaling; receiving, from the transmission point, first DCI on a first PDCCH in the first set of PRBs; and receiving, from the transmission point, second DCI on a second PDCCH in the second set of PRBs. A CRC of the first DCI is associated with an SI-RNTI, a CRC of the second DCI is associated with a C-RNTI, an RS is determined based on an identity of the transmission point, in a case that the RS is received in the first set of PRBs, and the RS is determined based on the higher layer signaling, in a case that the RS is received in the second set of PRBs.
