Abstract
A method of two-stage scheduling in downlink control channel is proposed to enhance downlink control information (DCI) forward compatibility and hardware flexibility. The DCI comprises a basic DCI and an extended DCI. The basic DCI provides basic scheduling information of the scheduled data. The extended DCI provides extended scheduling information of the scheduled data channel. The basic DCI can be unicast to a single UE over UE-specific search space. The basic DCI can also be broadcast or multicast to a group of UEs over common search space. UE performs blind detection of the basic DCI only, while the location and size of the extended DCI can be provided by the basic DCI or provided by a higher layer signaling. Cross-slot/subframe and Multi-slot/subframe scheduling can also be applied in the two-stage scheduling.
