    摘要: The middle subcarrier of the baseband OFDM signal of each numerology may need to be shifted appropriately with respect to other numerologies to comply with a nested grid. These shifts can be signalled to the UE with an associated overhead. Methods and systems are provided to reduce overhead for OFDM communication. Reduced overhead can translate into increased bandwidth for the system, and/or reduced power/battery consumption in the UE. A transmitter generates an OFDM signal associated with a first subcarrier spacing of a first numerology (μ), a middle subcarrier frequency of a set of usable resource blocks (RBs) of the first numerology being offset from a carrier frequency by a first offset having a value (k0,xμ) in units of subcarriers, the value of the first offset being defined by a specific formula. The transmitter transmits the OFDM signal according to the first subcarrier spacing and the first offset.

    摘要: Methods and systems for group common control channel implementation and use are provided. An embodiment a method in a base station for signaling group common control channel information is provided. The method includes determining control information common to a group of user equipment (UEs), the control information comprising time-frequency locations for at least one of a plurality of data channels and a plurality of control channels. The control information formatted in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format. The method also includes encoding the control information in a group common control channel to generate encoded control information. The method also includes transmitting the encoded control information to the group of UEs.
