Abstract
This disclosure is directed to resource scheduling/signaling in a wireless cellular access network and is specifically directed to a mechanism for resource scheduling in a multi-cell and carrier aggregation environment for a User Equipment (UE) by a wireless base station with enhanced scheduling efficiency. The various example embodiments are particularly directed to multi-cell downlink resource scheduling/signaling by the base station and blind monitoring of the corresponding scheduling/signaling messages by a wireless terminal device. The general mechanism includes using a single Downlink Control Information (DCI) message to schedule resources for multiple cells for the UE. In addition, the mechanism includes using any one of the multiple cells as a scheduling cell to carry the single DCI message by the base station. Various schemes are implemented such that a maximum number of blind decoding by the UE to monitor the scheduling DCI is not increased over a normal single-cell scheduling scheme.
