Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions stored in the memory are executable to receive a configuration message of processing time reduction from an evolved node B (eNB). The instructions are also executable to determine a processing time value k for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. The instructions are further executable to receive the PDSCH in subframe n−k. The instructions are additionally executable to transmit hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in subframe n for the PDSCH transmission in subframe n−k.

Claims (28)

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a processor; and

memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to:

receive a configuration message including a short processing time configuration from a base station apparatus;

determine a processing time value k for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission operation based on the short processing time configuration, wherein in a case where the short processing time configuration does not configure a short processing time, k is 4, and in a case where the short processing time configuration configures the short processing time, k is smaller than 4;

receive the PDSCH in subframe n−k;

transmit hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in subframe n for the PDSCH transmission in subframe n−k, and

perform a PUSCH transmission operation based on the same short processing time configuration.

2. A base station apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to:

send a configuration message including a short processing time configuration to a user equipment (UE),

determine a processing time value k for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission operation based on the short processing time configuration, wherein in a case where the short processing time configuration does not configure a short processing time, k is 4, and in a case where the short processing time configuration configures the short processing time, k is smaller than 4;

send the PDSCH in subframe n−k;

receive hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in subframe n for the PDSCH transmission in subframe n−k, and

perform a PUSCH transmission operation based on the same short processing time configuration.

3. A method of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving a configuration message including a short processing time configuration from a base station apparatus;

determining a processing time value k for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission operation based on the short processing time configuration, wherein in a case where the short processing time configuration does not configure a short processing time, k is 4, and in a case where the short processing time configuration configures the short processing time, k is smaller than 4;

receiving the PDSCH in subframe n−k;

transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in subframe n for the PDSCH transmission in subframe n−k; and

performing a PUSCH transmission operation based on the same short processing time configuration.

4. A method of a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

sending a configuration message including a short processing time configuration to a user equipment (UE);

determining a processing time value k for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission operation based on the short processing time configuration, wherein in a case where the short processing time configuration does not configure a short processing time, k is 4, and in a case where the short processing time configuration configures the short processing time, k is smaller than 4;

sending the PDSCH in subframe n−k;

receiving hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in subframe n for the PDSCH transmission in subframe n−k; and

performing a PUSCH transmission operation based on the same short processing time configuration.
