Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may monitor sets of decoding candidates over a search space in each monitoring occasion to detect downlink control transmissions. Such a monitoring process may be resource intensive. To reduce the processing power involved in monitoring the control channel, a UE may measure resources associated with the downlink control channel to obtain a quality metric. The UE may compare the quality metric to one or more thresholds and may perform a decoding process on a set of configured decoding candidates for the downlink control channel based on the comparing. In some cases, if the channel quality is relatively good, the UE may perform a list decoding process using a list size less than a maximum list size or may perform partial data tone processing to reduce the processing complexity for some of the decoding candidates.

A decoding method includes: receiving a plurality of subcarrier signals each including encoded data; acquiring a predetermined amount of data from each of the plurality of subcarrier signals; correcting errors in the plurality of subcarrier signals by performing decoding arithmetic processing on the respective predetermined amounts of data acquired from the plurality of subcarrier signals in a time-division manner; and causing the decoding arithmetic processing to be consecutively performed on each of the predetermined amounts of data a predetermined number of times.

The present invention is directed to communication systems and methods. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a receiver that includes an error correction module. A syndrome value, calculated based on received signals, may be used to enable the error correction module. The error correction module includes an error generator, a Nyquist error estimator, and a decoder. The decoder uses error estimation generated by the Nyquist error estimator to correct the decoded data. There are other embodiments as well.

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.

Apparatuses, methods, apparatuses, and systems for selective subcarrier processing are disclosed. One embodiment of a method includes determining whether a signal quality of a received multi-carrier signal is better than a predetermined signal quality, wherein the predetermined signal quality is selected to ensure that a probability of error free decoding of the received signal is greater than a predetermined threshold, and after determining that the signal quality of the received multi-carrier signal is better than the predetermined signal quality, determining which of subcarriers of the multi-carrier signal to perform receive signal processing based on a relative signal quality of each of the subcarriers.

There is provided a line card configured to mount a module in which a signal transmitted on a line is processed, the line card including a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to receive information on transmission quality of the signal to be transmitted through the module to be mounted on the line card, extract a combination satisfying the transmission quality among combinations of error correction processing schemes applicable to the module and a framer circuit for performing a signal processing for the signal to be transmitted, and estimate a combination of a range in which temperatures of each of the module and the framer circuit do not exceed a predetermined temperature when the module and the framer circuit are operated by applying the error correcting processing schemes of the combination extracted.

A downlink control channel monitoring method includes determining a first search space (SS) set and a second SS set. The method also includes determining, based on a first priority of the first SS set and a second priority of the second SS set, whether to monitor a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first downlink control channel candidate resource of the first SS set, and whether to monitor a second PDCCH on a second downlink control channel candidate resource of the second SS set. The first priority of the first SS set is equal to the second priority of the second SS set. The second PDCCH carries a power saving signal

A decoding device includes: a BP decoder that performs BP decoding on an input signal: a maximum likelihood decoder that performs maximum likelihood decoding on a signal subjected to the BP decoding; and a selector that selects one of the input signal, the signal subjected to the BP decoding, and a signal subjected to the maximum likelihood decoding. In a configuration of the decoding device, when a decoder is appropriately operated according to quality of data, a calculation scale can be reduced, and power consumption can be decreased.

Methods and systems for intelligent network checksum processing are disclosed. A method for intelligent network checksum processing may include receiving a data unit at a receiver network element sent from a sender network element, determining a success count of the sender network element, determining whether to perform a checksum validation at the receiver network element, wherein the determining may include skipping the checksum validation if the success count of the sender network element is greater than the predefined threshold success count, and performing the checksum validation if the success count of the sender network element is not greater than a predefined threshold success count, incrementing the success count of the sender network element if the checksum validation is performed and the checksum validation is successful, and resetting the success count of the sender network element if the checksum validation is performed and the checksum validation is unsuccessful.

Apparatuses, methods, apparatuses, and systems for of selectively deactivating portions of a receiver based on dynamic measurements are disclosed. One embodiment of a method includes receiving, by the receiver, a wireless signal, identifying a packet within the wireless signal, determining whether the packet cannot be decoded with a reliability greater than a threshold, and powering down at least a portion of the receiver after determining that the packet cannot be decoded with the reliability greater than the threshold.
