Abstract
A user node comprises a first modem capable of receiving a full set of resource elements and a secondary transceiver modem capable of receiving a subset of resource elements among the full set of resource elements, the subset of resource elements comprising resource element blocks. The first transceiver modem is configured to receive first control information identifying the subset of the resource elements and second control information enabling determination of a currently used resource element block among the subset of resource elements, send the first control information and the second control information to the secondary transceiver modem and enter into a reduced power state. The secondary transceiver modem is configured to receive at least one signal in the subset of resource elements while the first transceiver modem is in the reduced power state, determine a control decision and output at least one command.
