METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING DETECTION RANGE OF CONTROL CHANNEL IN MULTIBEAM SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC H04W24/02 

FIELD: electrical communication engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication, in particular to a method and apparatus for determining a detection range of a control channel in a multi-beam system. Method includes: transmitting, by a network device, configuration information to a terminal, wherein the configuration information is used by the terminal to determine the time domain resource, in which it is necessary to detect the control channel in a given time interval of downlink data transmission, based on the configuration information, wherein the time domain resource includes a plurality of time domain scheduling units. According to the method for determination of the control channel detection range in the multibeam system proposed by one of the specific versions of the present invention implementation, terminal needs to perform control channel detection only on time domain resource, which was determined based on configuration information; and those time domain resources (such as time domain planning units, where synchronization signals or broadcasting signals of other beams are localized), on which there is no control channel of the current beam, can be excluded from analysis based on the configuration information, as a result of which the terminal does not need to detect these time domain resources.

EFFECT: technical result consists in simplification of terminal design and reduction of its battery power consumption.
