Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés, des systèmes et des dispositifs de communication sans fil. Une station de base peut transmettre des informations de commande à un équipement utilisateur (UE) dans une bande de spectre radiofréquence à puissance limitée. La station de base peut mapper des éléments de canal de commande (CCE) pour transmettre les informations de commande à des groupages de groupes d'éléments de ressources (REG) d'un ensemble de ressources de commande (CORESET) sur la base d'un modèle d'entrelaceur de blocs qui peut permettre à une station de base d'augmenter une largeur de bande de la transmission d'informations de commande à un UE. Sur la base de l'entrelacement des groupages de REG, la station de base peut mapper des CCE sur des groupages de REG qui couvrent une plus grande largeur de bande du CORESET, ce qui peut augmenter une puissance de transmission totale de la transmission d'informations de commande à l'UE. Entre autres avantages, le mappage de CORESET décrit peut améliorer les communications entre l'UE et la station de base.
