Abstract
The technology described herein is directed towards informing user equipment of which physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) locations in a slot symbol are allocated for (PDCCH) information. With the user equipment having this allocation information, a base station (e.g., gNodeB) scheduler can schedule unused PDCCH resource element group(s) to a UE for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) decoding. Further, because the allocation pattern is known to a UE, the UE need not blindly scan and decode all potential resource element groups in a slot, instead only decoding the PDCCH data in the allocated pattern to find the UE-specific information, and thereby proceed with PDSCH decoding. A defined identifier at a predefined symbol location informs the user equipment when the PDCCH allocation information is present. If not present, the UE blindly decodes all the resource element groups to find the UE-specific information to decode PDSCH data, as is currently done.
