A base station of a network provides a user equipment (UE) with information relating to monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of multiple component carrier (CCs) in a carrier aggregation (CA) scheme. The base station configures a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination for a user equipment (UE) and provides the UE with information for the CA combination, wherein the information comprises an indication whether the first CC and the second CC are collocated.

Physical downlink control channel monitoring in collocation scenarios

A user equipment (UE) monitors a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in multiple component carriers (CC). The UE determines if the UE is operating in carrier aggregation (CA) mode having a first CC in a first frequency band and a second CC in a second frequency band. When the UE is operating in CA with a first CC in the first frequency band and the second CC in the second frequency band, the UE determines a span pattern for PDCCH symbols being received on the first and second CC and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the span pattern. A UE also determines if a first CC and a second CC of a CA combination are collocated and selects a PDCCH monitoring type based on, at least, the determination of whether the first and second CC are collocated.

A system and method for removing bias from a frequency estimate. A simulation is used to predict, for various values of the signal to noise ratio, a bias in a raw frequency estimate produced by a frequency estimation algorithm. A straight line is fit to simulated frequency offset estimates as a function of true frequency offset, and the reciprocal of the slope of the line is stored, as a multiplicative bias removal term, in a lookup table, for the simulated signal to noise ratio. In operation, the raw frequency estimate is multiplied by a multiplicative bias removal term, obtained from the lookup table, to form a corrected frequency offset estimate.
