FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to communications networks. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to improved resource allocation mechanism for high speed wireless communication network.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.

[0003] The fifth generation (5G) technology is expected to fundamentally transform the role that telecommunications technology plays in the industry and society at large. Thus, 5G wireless communication system is expected to support a broad range of newly emerging applications on top of the regular cellular mobile broadband services. These applications or the services that would be supported can be categorized into enhanced mobile broadband, massive deployment of internet of things device and ultra-reliable low latency communication. Using these services, users could do video conference, television broadcast, and video on-demand (simultaneous streaming) applications using different types of multimedia services over internet, high speed browsing, voice call, gaming, connected car communications and the like. To order to support the above applications and services, provides a 3GPP specification that proposes a network deployment architecture as summarized in FIG. 1.

[0004] In order to transmit a Physical-layer processing for Physical control channel(PDCCH) and Physical-layer processing for Physical shared channel (PDSCH) information using the CCEs in the downlink direction, a prior art uses a bandwidth part (BWP) method. The BWP enables more flexibility in how CCE resources are assigned in each carrier. The BWP enables multiplexing of different information of PDCCH and PDSCH, thus enabling better utilization and adaptation of operator spectrum and UE’s battery consumption. 5G NR’s maximum carrier bandwidth is up to 100 MHz in frequency range 1 (FR1: 450 MHz to 6 GHz), or up to 400 MHz in frequency range 2 (FR2: 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz) that can be aggregated with a maximum bandwidth of 800 MHz.

[0005] As per another prior art, for a gNB system, there could be multiple candidates defined for the each of the aggregation levels. Thus, using the multiple candidates per aggregation levels and for getting the number of CCEs per aggregation level, the gNB system calculates the total number of CCEs requirement. This total number of CCEs shall be finally used for the Control Resource Set (CORESET) calculation. Hence, the CORESET comprises of multiples REGs in frequency domain and T or 2 or 3' OFDM symbols in time domain. Thus, each of the BWP shall have its own CORESET definition in order to schedule the users in that individualistic BWP. One such example of showing the relationship of the BWP, CORESET, Aggregation Level and the CCEs are given in FIGs. 2A and 2B, 4A and 4B. FIGs 2A and 2B show exemplary representations of a Non overlapping BWP Schema and an Overlapping BWP Schema respectively. As seen from FIGs 2A and 2B, there are three nonoverlapping BWP (i.e. BWP1, 2, 3) got created and each of the BWP is having three such CORESET (i.e. CORESET 1,2,3). Each of these BWPs and CORESET configuration could be configured to UEs using RRC signaling. The information element that carries the CORESET and search space configuration is given in FIG. 3. The search space parameter of FIG. 3 gets further defined with respect to (a) monitoring Slot Periodicity And Offset, (b) nr of Candidates (c) search Space Type and the like mentioned in a prior art. One of the main entities of the search space design is the nr of Candidates parameter which defines the number of candidates associated for one specific aggregation levels. Depending on the number of candidates per aggregation levels, the CCEs numbers are also derived accordingly. For example, if two candidates for aggregation level 2, then the total number of CCEs required for the system would be 4. More detailed level calculation is shown in FIGs 4A and 4B. As seen in FIG. 4 A, eight candidates of Aggregation Level- 1, four candidates of Aggregation Level-2, two candidates of Aggregation Level-4, one candidate of Aggregation Level-8, and ZERO candidate of Aggregation Level-16 are seen. The above explanation translates to the fact, that there will be definite amount of CCEs whenever we are configuring the number of candidates per aggregation levels. As stated earlier, from the candidates of aggregation level, the number of CCEs could be determined which in turn defines the final CORESET parameter definition. In FIG. 4B, an interleaving pattern of distribution of the CCEs both in frequency and time domain. However, the 3GPP specification fails to provide mechanism to identify relevant candidates for each aggregation level based on service and content for effective radio resource usage with respect to the control channel elements (CCE). [0006] One prior art againproposes a method of constructing a subframe of control channel elements for PDCCH transmission based on the evaluation of a cost function C(j) for each valid combination (j) of the control channel elements which improves the performance of the system. It comprises of predetermined distribution of a total number of transmitted resource elements, total used transmission power, and predetermined distribution of interference per symbol. But the prior-art fails to provide the dynamic distribution of the total number of transmitted resource elements with respect to the system variables like channel conditions or the total connected users. The predetermined option will only take care of some specific condition of the system deployment to any of the wireless operator.

[0007] Another prior art proposes a method of allocating control channel resources at a transmitter where these control resources are allocated to multiple scheduling entities in using the availability states of the control channel elements such as unused, available, unavailable, and contended. The resource mapping circuit of the system is configured to determine an availability state of each candidate set by: (a) determining that a candidate set is available when the allocation state of all control channel elements is unused; (b) determining that a candidate set is unavailable when the allocation state of at least one of its control channel elements is used; (c ) determining that a candidate set is contended when the allocation state of one or more of its control channel elements is alternate and the allocation state of the remaining control channel elements is unused, and allocating the control channel elements in alternate state doesn't block other competing scheduling entities for which one or more of the control channel elements within the candidate set are designated as alternate.

[0008] But the prior-art fails to take into consideration that how many such control channel elements shall be associated to a user based on the user’s mobility, channel conditions and user traffic data queued in the system. One more prior art describes a new structure of a control channel region within a sub-frame of a 3GPP -based based communication system using OFDM in the downlink. The control channel region is divided in CCEs that have equal size irrespective of the presence of further cell-specific and/or Userspecific reference signals within the control channel region. The method constitutes of taking multiple CCEs from the region defined for PDSCH region, assigning it to multiple devices, determining CRC code for the downlink control information for the receiving devices. But the prior-art fails to take into consideration that the how many such control channel elements shall be associated to cell-specific and/or UE-specific reference signals. Also, it does not take into consideration of the quantification of these CCEs to user’s specific reference signals. Due to that, if the user is into bad channel condition, it does not take into consideration of how many such CCEs to be allocated or how such CCEs needs to be shared among multiple user devices. A wireless communication control channel apparatus and method provides for control channel transmission in a wireless network. As per the method, the at least one resource block (RB) including a first control channel element get associated with a first antenna port (AP) and a second control channel element get associated with a second AP. The first and second control channel elements might be used for transmission for a single control channel, and a first reference signal sequence associated with one of the first AP and the second AP is selected for transmission of the single control channel based on a control channel element index value.The prior-art does not provide the methods of associating the upper bound of the RBs to be associated with the control channel element. Due to this, there will be conditions where the user devices could get less control channel elements for certain control channel messages. Also, from the system perspective there is no defined method of limiting the RBs to the control channel elements. This will lead to under or over utilization of RBs to the control channel elements. A Control Channel Element Indexing Scheme mentions about partitioning the control channel resources based on indexing scheme. The system understands the data channel information which is partitioned, the channel resource elements get partitioned and then partitioned elements get associated with the partitioned control resource elements and that way the data channel information get transmitted to apparatus through into multiple partitions. The method also creates a unique indexing pair of partitioned elements and partitioned control resource elements. The method also comprises of obtains information of which resource blocks carries a downlink control channel, determines several control channel elements per allocated resource block and then defines at least one control channel elements index based on the information regarding which resource block carries a downlink control channel. However, the scheme not provide how many of CCE index could be generated in the system based on the multiple system variables like users in the network, interference generated for continuous common resource blocks transmission, the maximum and minimum allocation scheme of resource blocks for CCEs allocation etc.

[0009] Thus, there is a need for an improved PDDCH resource allocation mechanism for optimized CORESET definition without compromising on the user data-rate requirements. OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

[0032] The system may further include a scheduler configured to determine a user traffic data queued in the system and a radio resource control unit (RRC) operatively coupled to any or a combination of one or more the base stations, the one or more packet gateway nodes and the scheduler. The RRC may causes the system to initialise an improved PDCCH resource calculation (IPRC) unit operatively coupled to the RRC. Upon initialization, the IPRC unit, may receive from the one or more base stations, one or more data packets pertaining to parameters associated with one or more PDCCH resources that require allocation in the wireless network to the one or more user equipment getting registered with the system through the respective packet gateway node.

The IPRC unit can then calculate a plurality of operation parameters and the one or more PDCCH resources to be allocatedfrom the extracted first and second set of attributes and updatethe number of the one or more PDCCH resources to the RRC and the scheduler.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, the IPRC unit may receive a combination of periodic performance feedback from the schedulerand a constant usage periodic feedback from the RRC to update the IPRC unit. The combination of periodic performance feedback from the schedulerand the constant usage periodic feedback from the RRC correct a plurality of estimated values during a steady state operation of the system. The IPRC unit further may optimize the calculation of the one or more PDCCH resources by a set of predefined instructions.

[0034] In an embodiment, during the initialization of the IPRC unit, the IPRC unit can interactwith a configuration database coupled to the system through a configuration interface to get default configuration parameters of the system during a start-up of the system. The IPRC unit can then store the operational parameters and the default configuration parameters of the system.

[0049] The communication between the gNB(104) and the user equipment (102) may happen through a wireless interface using the protocol stacks. One of the main protocol stacks is the Physical layer (also referred to as PHY). Whenever, a user traffic data from adata network (120) needs to be sent to the user equipment (102), the user traffic data passes through the UPF (118) and the gNB(104) and reaches the user equipment (102) in a downlink direction and vice-versa for anuplink direction. In order to schedule the user traffic data in the downlink direction, at least two main PHY layer functionalities comes in consideration are (a) Physical-layer processing for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) (b) Physicallayer processing for Physical downlink control channels (PDCCH). In an exemplary embodiment, a user’s traffic data may be sent through the PDSCH but a user’s signaling data of the user’s traffic data with respect to (i) Modulation (ii) Coding rate (iii) Size of the user’s traffic data (iv) Transmission beam identification (v) Bandwidth part (vi) Physical Resource Block and the like may be sent via PDCCH. The downlink as well as the uplink transmission may happen through a Cyclic Prefix based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP- OFDM) but not limited to it, which is part of the PHY layer. So, in order to do the transmission, the CP-OFDM may use the Physical Resource Block (PRB) to send both the user’s traffic data over PDSCH as well as user’s signaling data over PDCCH.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the Physical Resource Block (PRB) may be built using the Resource Elements. For the downlink direction, the upper layer stacks ma assigns the number of Resource Elements to be used for the PDCCH and PDSCH processing. There may be at least four important concepts that has been defined for with respect to resources and the way the resources are being group to be given for PDCCH. These concepts are (a) Resource Element: It is the smallest unit of the resource grid made up of one subcarrier in frequency domain and one OFDM symbol in time domain, (b) Resource Element Group (REG): One REG is made up of one resource block (12 Resource Element in frequency domain) and one OFDM symbol in time domain, (c) Control Channel Element (CCE): A CCE is made up multiple REGs. The number REG bundles within a CCE varies, (d) Aggregation Level: The Aggregation Level indicates how many CCEs are allocated for a PDCCH. The Aggregation Level and the number of allocated CCE as given in Table- 1:

[0051] In an aspect, the gNB (104) may include one or more processors operatively coupled to a memory that may cause the gNB to receive user traffic data from a plurality of candidates, identify relevant candidates for each aggregation level based on service and content for effective radio resource usage with respect to the CCEs. The relevant candidates may be identified byenabling apredefined set of system parameters for candidate calculation. Depending on a geographical deployment area, the processor can cause the gNB system to accept the predefined system parameters of the configuration, self-generate operational parameter values for candidate calculation and dynamically generates operational parameter values for the candidate calculation for various aggregation levels based on the gNB system variables and conditions thereby improving candidate calculation for different aggregation levels, update the default system parameters for efficient number of candidate calculation by obtaining periodic feedback from a Scheduler and an RRC to update the default system parameters.

[0052] FIG. IB illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of the proposed method (150) facilitating improved Physical downlink control channels (PDDCH) resource allocation in a wireless network. The method may include at 152, the step of initialising an improved PDCCH resource calculation (IPRC) unit operatively coupled to a radio resource control unit (RRC) operatively coupled to any or a combination of one or more said base stations, said one or more packet gateway nodes and the scheduler and upon initialization, the method may further include at 154, the step of receiving by the IPRC unit, from one or more base stations, one or more data packets pertaining to parameters associated with one or more PDCCH resources that require allocation in the wireless network to one or more user equipment getting registered with the system through a respective packet gateway node.

[0053] The method (150) may further include at 156 the step of extracting, by the IPRC unit, a first set of attributes pertaining to one or more parameters associated with the one or more PDCCH resources and at 158, the step of extracting, by the IPRC unit, a second set of attributes from the scheduler, the second set of attributes pertaining to the user traffic data queued in the system that causes blocking of the one or more PDCCH resources.

As illustrated in FIG. 6A, by way of example but not limitation, the exemplary gNB system (600) may include an improved PDCCH Resource calculation (IPRC) (602) as illustrated in FIG. 6B that may be configured to enable default system parameters for relevant candidate calculation. Depending on the geographical deployment area, gNBmay accept a default system configuration, self-generate operational parameter values for the candidate calculation, dynamically generate operational parameter values for candidate calculation for various aggregation levels based on the gNB system variables and conditions. Update candidate calculation for different aggregation levels by obtaining periodic feedback from a scheduler and the RRC to update the default system parameters. FIG. 6 A depicts an improved gNB that has the new module named IPRC (602) which has been introduced inside the Radio Resource Management entity. As part of this improvement, the interaction between IPRC and rest of the modules of the Upper Layers Circuit has been changed.

After that, the IPRC (602) which is part of Radio Resource Management unit (510) may obtain a necessary configuration and load the configuration into a persistent-memory unit (508) (IPRC-PMU) for a Local- Configuration (LC). In an exemplary embodiment, the IPRC (602) may cause the Radio Management unit (510) to: extract the necessary configuration information for the PDCCH resource calculation by accessing Local-Configuration (LC) of the IPRC-PMU; determine the overall resource configuration and update the system configuration information in the persistent- memory unit IPRC-Sys-PMU (508).
