5G NR - PDCCH学习笔记4 - 搜索空间(Search Space)Overview

1.定义

Search Space直译是搜索空间,那搜索的是什么呢?搜索的是PDCCH. 那为什么要搜索而不是直接在指定地方接收? 因为UE事先不知道PDCCH的Aggregation Level, PDCCH对应的CCE资源的位置以及承载的DCI format. 由于这些事先无法知道的信息,这个搜索过程对应一个专业术语 – BD(Blind Decoding). 空间是PDCCH Candidate的集合,不过为了降低UE搜索复杂度会限定一些搜索条件,比如PDCCH candidate的起始CCE index能够被该PDCCH的CCE个数整除(AL=4的起始位置必须是0,4,8…)。因此我们把Search Space定义为:某个Aggregation Level下的所有PDCCH candidate的集合。

 

UE可以配置对应于多个AL的多个Search Space, 多个Search Space叫做SS set - Search Space set.

SS Set分两类:

Common SS(CSS) set – 顾名思义,就是对所有UE是通用的。

UE-specific SS(USS) set – 只能某个特定UE使用。

 

1个UE在1个BWP下最多可以配置10个SS set, 因此在一个小区(4个BWP)下最多可以配置40个SS set, 序号是0~39.

 

SS set的配置包括如下内容:

SS set类型 (CSS set或USS set), DCI format(s), monitoring occasion, 每个AL下PDCCH candidates的个数.

 

由于一个小区有多个CORESET, 一个UE可以配置多个SS Set, 为减少实现复杂度,每个SS set对应一个CORESET.

 

2.PDDCH Aggregation Level

构成一个PDCCH candidate的CCE个数称之为Aggregation Level(AL), NR PDCCH可用的AL是1, 2, 4, 8, 16,具体多少个CCE由DCI Payload Size和所需要的编码速率来决定.

 

3.BD数的确定

UE search space配置的候选PDCCH candidates数可以根据上页配置信息确定,但是待检测(真正执行Blind Decoding)的PDCCH数不一定等于配置的PDCCH Candidates,一般是配置的PDCCH Candidate的子集:

### 5G PDCCH Configuration for SIB1 Specification and Implementation Details In the context of Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR), System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1) is crucial as it provides essential information about system configurations to User Equipment (UE). The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) plays a significant role in conveying control signaling, including scheduling information for SIB1. For configuring PDCCH specifically for SIB1 transmission, several parameters are critical. The search space settings define where UEs should monitor PDCCH candidates within specific slots or occasions. Common Search Space (CSS) set0 is utilized by default for transmitting downlink control information (DCI) related to SIB1[^1]. This DCI format typically includes Format 1_0 which carries scheduling commands such as resource allocation type A, modulation scheme QPSK, coding rate R=1/2 among others necessary fields required for decoding subsequent messages like MIB/SIBs etc.[^2] Additionally, CORESET (Control Resource Set) defines time-frequency resources over which UE monitors PDCCH carrying DCIs intended for different purposes; one instance being SIB1-related transmissions. It specifies frequency domain positions along with duration across OFDM symbols per slot that can be used for monitoring these channels effectively without causing interference issues between adjacent cells operating on similar frequencies bands simultaneously[^3]. For practical implementation considerations regarding how this configuration might look programmatically when setting up an environment supporting NR standards: ```python from nr_config import NRConfigurator config = NRConfigurator() # Define CORESET configuration for SIB1 coreset_sib1 = { "frequencyDomainResources": "0x7FFFFFFFFF", "duration": 2, } # Configure CSS set0 for SIB1 css_set0_for_sib1 = { "monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot": [1], "nrofCandidates": {"n1": 8}, "aggregationLevel": 4, } config.set_coreset(coreset_id=0, coreset_settings=coreset_sib1) config.configure_css(css_type="commonSearchSpaceSet0", css_settings=css_set0_for_sib1) print(config.get_configuration()) ``` This code snippet demonstrates defining both CORESET and CSS configurations tailored towards ensuring successful reception of SIB1 through appropriate adjustments made at network setup level using hypothetical `nr_config` library functions designed around managing various aspects associated with NR specifications efficiently while adhering closely enough so readers familiarize themselves better understanding real-world applications thereof. --related questions-- 1. What other types of DCI formats exist besides those mentioned here? 2. How does the choice of aggregation levels impact performance metrics during actual deployment scenarios involving multiple users accessing services concurrently via wireless networks utilizing advanced technologies like beamforming antennas arrays integrated into base stations spread geographically apart from each other forming heterogeneous architectures consisting macrocells alongside small cell deployments enhancing overall coverage area capacity gains achievable under ideal conditions assuming no external factors affecting signal propagation characteristics significantly beyond manufacturer's stated tolerances. 3. Can you provide more insight into what happens after receiving SIB1? Specifically concerning additional steps taken post-initial access procedure completion leading eventually toward establishing radio bearers facilitating data exchange processes securely authenticated encrypted manner compliant current industry best practices regulatory requirements applicable jurisdictional boundaries traversed throughout entire communication lifecycle management workflows implemented robust scalable infrastructure platforms capable handling diverse traffic patterns varying widely depending upon application-specific needs ranging simple text messaging social media interactions complex multimedia streaming experiences requiring low latency high throughput connections maintain quality service expectations end-users regardless location device type connectivity medium employed whether fixed mobile satellite-based alternatives available market today offering unprecedented flexibility convenience never before seen history telecommunications evolution driven rapid advancements semiconductor manufacturing techniques enabling miniaturization components reducing power consumption increasing processing speeds opening doors countless possibilities yet unimagined future generations inherit build further innovations atop existing foundations laid out pioneers who came before us shaping digital age we live now experiencing firsthand every day lives improved countless ways thanks largely contributions field communications technology research development efforts spanning decades culminating point present moment looking forward continued growth trajectory ahead lies much promise indeed. 4. In terms of programming interfaces provided by libraries similar to `nr_config`, what kind of methods would they offer for manipulating physical layer parameters involved in LTE versus NR systems considering differences protocol stack architecture design principles underlying each standard respectively? 5. Are there any particular challenges faced when implementing dynamic spectrum sharing features within multi-standard environments incorporating elements drawn from both legacy 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) frameworks together newer generation 5G Non-Standalone (NSA)/Standalone (SA) modes operation especially focusing interoperability concerns arising due potential conflicts occurring simultaneous usage allocated bandwidth portions reserved either technology independently managed separate entities potentially resulting degraded user experience unless properly addressed beforehand careful planning coordination amongst all stakeholders involved project lifecycles starting initial conception stages ending final rollout phases commercial availability markets worldwide?
