urther scrambled with the DCI CRC is not necessar- ily the identity of the device (in the case of C-RNTI), rather it can be different type of group or common RNTIs used to indicate paging or a random-access response. The information fields in the DCI formats shown in Table 4.4 are mapped to the informa- tion bits ao to aNDCI~1 such that the first field is mapped to the lowest order information bit 458 Chapter 4 Table 4.4: NR downlink control information (DCI) formats [7].

If the number of information bits in a DCI format is less than 12 bits, zero padding is used until the payload size is equal to 12. The DCI size of the uplink DCI format 0_1 and downlink DCI format 1_1 are made equal with padding bits added to the smaller of the two in order to reduce the number of blind decoding. It may appear that parts of the DCI content are the same for the different formats; however, there are differences due to different capabilities supported by each DCI format. The content of various DCI formats is described in the following [7]. Note that the information fields and their interpretation may change according to the RNTI value that is used in conjunction with the DCI value.
