NR DCI formats

I am also new to most L1/L2/L3 protocols (not working on these areas). But still wanted to summarize something after reviewing ShareTechNote. Here is about NR DCI formats specified in 7.3 Downlink control information, 3GPP TS 38.212 version 17.6.0 Release 17 (quite different now than the old introduction in ShareTechNote).

Please correct me if anything is not correct.

1. DCI formats
2. DCI format for UL scheduling: 0_0, 0_1, 0_2
   2.1 DCI Format 0_0
   – 2.1.1 DCI format 0_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or MCS-C-RNTI
   – 2.1.2 DCI format 0_0 with CRC scrambled by TC-RNTI
   2.2 DCI Format 0_1
   – 2.2.1 DCI format 0_1 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or SP-CSI-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI (used for indicating CG-DFI)
   – 2.2.2 DCI format 0_1 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or SP-CSI-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI (Not used for indicating CG-DFI)
   2.3 DCI Format 0_2
   – 2.3.1 DCI format 0_2 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or SP-CSI-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI

1. DCI formats

A DCI transports Downlink Control Information for one or more cells with one RNTI.

DCI format for UL scheduling: 0_0, 0_1, 0_2
DCI format for DL scheduling: 1_0, 1_1, 1_2

2. DCI format for UL scheduling: 0_0, 0_1, 0_2

2.1 DCI Format 0_0

DCI format 0_0 is used for the scheduling of PUSCH in one cell.

2.1.1 DCI format 0_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or MCS-C-RNTI

2.1.2 DCI format 0_0 with CRC scrambled by TC-RNTI

2.2 DCI Format 0_1

DCI format 0_1 is used for the scheduling of one or multiple PUSCH in one cell, or indicating CG downlink feedback information (CG-DFI) to a UE.

2.2.1 DCI format 0_1 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or SP-CSI-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI (used for indicating CG-DFI)

2.2.2 DCI format 0_1 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or SP-CSI-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI (Not used for indicating CG-DFI)

too many fields, please check spec 😦 (or someday I will collect these)

2.3 DCI Format 0_2

DCI format 0_2 is used for the scheduling of PUSCH in one cell.

2.3.1 DCI format 0_2 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI or CSRNTI or SP-CSI-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI
