Abstract

A method for an uplink transmission of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system and the UE are provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station (BS), control signaling; grouping physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) based on the control signaling; determining a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK/NACK) codebook for each grouping of the PDSCHs; and transmitting HARQ-ACK/NACK information corresponding to the HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook. The UE includes a transceiver configured to receive control signaling from a BS; and a processor configured to: group PDSCHs based on the control signaling; and determine an HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook for each group of PDSCHs, wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit HARQ-ACK/NACK information corresponding to the HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook.

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), code block group (CBG) information via radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

identifying a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) set or a second PDSCH set to which each of a plurality of PDSCHs belong, based on the CBG information;

determining a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK/NACK) codebook for the first PDSCH set and a second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook for the second PDSCH set; and

transmitting HARQ-ACK/NACK information generated by connecting the first HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an offset for the HARQ-ACK/NACK information based on a configured set for the offset corresponding to a number of bits included in the HARQ-ACK/NACK information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK/NACK information is generated by appending the second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook to the first HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the first PDSCH set or the second PDSCH set comprises:

identifying that a PDSCH of the plurality of PDSCHs belongs to the first PDSCH set, in a case that the PDSCH is scheduled on a carrier configured with transport block-based (TB-based) HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback or scheduled, by fallback downlink control information (DCI), on a carrier configured with CBG-based HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback; and

identifying that the PDSCH of the plurality of PDSCHs belongs to the second PDSCH set, in a case that the PDSCH is scheduled, by a non-fallback DCI, on the carrier configured with CBG-based HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook comprises:

determining a number of HARQ-ACK/NACK information bits for the second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook based on a maximum value of values associated with CBGs of carriers configured with CBG-based HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein, determining the first HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook comprises:

determining a number of HARQ-ACK/NACK information bits based on HARQ-ACK/NACK spatial bundling and a number of transport blocks (TBs) being received on at least one BWP of a carrier.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein, determining the first HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook comprises: in a case that HARQ-ACK/NACK spatial bundling is not applied and reception of two TBs is configured for the at least one BWP of the carrier, generating two HARQ-ACK/NACK information bits for a PDSCH on the carrier, and

in a case that a HARQ-ACK/NACK spatial bundling is applied and the reception of two TBs is configured for the at least one BWP of the carrier, generating one HARQ-ACK/NACK information bit for the PDSCH on the carrier.

8. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a base station (BS), code block group (CBG) information via radio resource control (RRC) signaling,

identify a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) set or a second PDSCH set to which each of a plurality of PDSCHs belong, based on the CBG information;

determine a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK/NACK) codebook for the first PDSCH set and a second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook for the second PDSCH set, and

control the transceiver to transmit HARQ-ACK/NACK information generated by connecting the first HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook and the second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine an offset for the HARQ-ACK/NACK information based on a configured set for the offset corresponding to a number of bits included in the HARQ-ACK/NACK information.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the HARQ-ACK/NACK information is generated by appending the second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook to the first HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify that a PDSCH of the plurality of PDSCHs belongs to the first PDSCH set, in case that the PDSCH is scheduled on a carrier configured with transport block-based (TB-based) HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback or scheduled, by a fallback downlink control information (DCI), on a carrier configured with CBG-based HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback, and

identify that a PDSCH of the plurality of PDSCHs belongs to the second PDSCH set, in case that the PDSCH is scheduled, by a non-fallback DCI, on the carrier configured with CBG-based HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a number of HARQ-ACK/NACK information bits for the second HARQ-ACK/NACK codebook based on a maximum value of values associated with CBGs of carriers configured with CBG-based HARQ-ACK/NACK feedback.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a number of HARQ-ACK/NACK information bits based on HARQ-ACK/NACK spatial bundling and a number of transport blocks (TBs) being received on at least one BWP of a carrier.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
