BLIND DETECTION AND CONTROL CHANNEL ELEMENT MONITORING LIMITS IN CARRIER AGGREGATION

摘要

A system and method are provided for setting blind sensing and control channel element monitoring limits in a carrier aggregation scheme. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a network, a capability declaration of a first UE from a first user equipment (UE), a first search by the network for a first component carrier in a carrier aggregation (CA) manner sending a spatial (SS) configuration to the first UE, and sending, by the network, a second search space configuration for a second component carrier in the carrier aggregation scheme to the first UE. The first search space configuration may define a first set of monitoring opportunities (MO), and the second search space configuration may define a second set of monitoring opportunities, corresponding to the first set of monitoring opportunities and the second set of monitoring opportunities. The aligned span pattern to do may be according to the capability declaration of the first UE.
