Detailed Description
In the existing implementation, for cross-carrier scheduling of different subcarrier intervals, the UE cannot acquire the maximum number of candidate PDCCHs to be monitored and the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs, thereby resulting in high complexity of monitoring the PDCCHs by the UE.
The embodiment of the invention aims at the characteristic of starting carrier aggregation and the number of downlink cells which can be monitored
In a scenario that the number of candidate PDCCHs is greater than 4, when the subcarrier interval μ corresponding to the th cell is different from the subcarrier interval j corresponding to the second cell, it is determined that the maximum number of candidate PDCCHs monitored in each time slot is th number, and the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs monitored in each time slot is second number in the th cell, so that the maximum number of candidate PDCCHs to be monitored and the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs can be determined, and complexity of monitoring PDCCHs by the UE is reduced.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining monitored numbers of PDCCH candidates and CCEs, which may include the following steps:
step S101, receiving high-level signaling sent by a base station and determining the number of downlink cells which start carrier aggregation characteristics and can monitor based on the high-level signaling
Greater than 4.
In the specific implementation, because the existing implementation of cross-carrier scheduling for different subcarrier intervals makes it impossible for the UE to acquire the maximum number of PDCCH candidates (PDCCH candidates) to be monitored and the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs, which results in high complexity of monitoring the PDCCH by the UE, the embodiment of the present invention provides the maximum number of PDCCH candidates and the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs to be monitored in each time slot when the cross-carrier scheduling for different subcarrier intervals exceeds the maximum number of carriers required to be supported by the UE.
In the specific implementation, it is first determined that the base station configures the carrier aggregation function for the UE, that is, the UE starts the carrier aggregation characteristic, and the configured number of downlink cells that the UE can monitor is determined
Greater than 4.
Step S102, when there is a difference between a subcarrier spacing mu corresponding to the th cell and a subcarrier spacing j corresponding to the second cell, determining that the maximum number of candidate PDCCHs monitored in each slot is the th number and the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs monitored in each slot is the second number in the th cell, wherein:
the th cell is a cell for sending scheduling information;
the second cell is a cell scheduled by the scheduling information, and the second cell corresponds to a different carrier from the th cell;

Monitors the maximum number of candidate PDCCHs of cells per slot for serving cells having a subcarrier spacing of mu,
monitors the maximum number of candidate PDCCHs of cells per slot for serving cells having a subcarrier spacing of j,
monitoring the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs of cells for each time slot of serving cells with a subcarrier spacing of mu and serving cells with a subcarrier spacing of j, respectively, namely

listen to the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs of cells for each slot of serving cells with subcarrier spacing j,
the number of configured downlink cells which can be monitored.
In a specific implementation, the candidate PDCCHs may include candidate PDCCHs corresponding to different DCI sizes, or candidate PDCCHs corresponding to different Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) scrambling sequences, that is, PDCCHs corresponding to different DCI sizes are different candidate PDCCHs, and PDCCHs corresponding to different DMRS scrambling sequences are also different candidate PDCCHs.
In the embodiment of the invention, the candidate PDCCHs include any candidate PDCCHs corresponding to different DCI sizes and candidate PDCCHs corresponding to different DMRS scrambling sequences.
