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 determine a HARQ-ACK codebook size for multiple slots on a single carrier (CC) or one or more slots on multiple carriers. The instructions are also executable to send a single HARQ-ACK report for the multiple slots based on the HARQ-ACK codebook size.

Claims (22)

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:

determine a HARQ-ACK codebook size for one or more slots on multiple carriers (CCs); and

send a single HARQ-ACK report for the one or more slots based on the HARq-ACK codebook size determined by whether semi-static codebook or dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook is used, wherein:

a transport block (TB) level HARQ-ACK includes a HARQ-ACK bit for a TB, and a code block group (CBG) level HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK bits for CBGs of the TB; and

in a case that a DL transmission is scheduled with a fallback DCI, the TB level HARQ-ACK is generated for the DL transmission and the TB level HARQ-ACK is expanded to the number of bits of a CBG level HARQ-ACK by repetition of HARQ-ACK bit(s) of the TB HARQ-ACK.

2. A base station (gNB), comprising:

a processor; and

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

receive a single HARQ-ACK report from a user equipment (UE) for one or more slots on multiple carriers (CCs) based on a HARQ-ACK codebook size determined by whether semi-static or dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook is used, wherein:

a transport block (TB) level HARQ-ACK includes a HARQ-ACK bit for a TB, and a code block group (CBG) level HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK bits for CBG of the TB; and

in a case that a DL transmission is scheduled with a fallback DCI, the TB level HARQ-ACK is generated for the DL transmission and the TB level HARQ-ACK is expanded to the number of bits of a CBG level HARQ-ACK by repetition of HARQ-ACK bit(s) of the TB HARQ-ACK.

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

determining a HARQ-ACK codebook size for one or more slots on multiple carriers (CCs); and

sending a single HARQ-ACK report for the one or more slots based on the HARQ-ACK codebook size determined by whether semi-static codebook or dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook is used, wherein:

a transport block (TB) level HARQ-ACK includes a HARQ-ACK bit for a TB, and a code block group (CBG) level HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK bits for CBGs of the TB; and

in a case that a DL transmission is scheduled with a fallback DCI, the TB level HARQ-ACK is generated for the DL transmission and the TB level HARQ-ACK is expanded to the number of bits of a CBG level HARQ-ACK by repetition of HARQ-ACK bit(s) of the TB HARQ-ACK.

4. A method performed by a base station (gNB), the method comprising:

receiving a single HARQ-ACK report from a UE for one or more slots on multiple carriers (CCs) based on a HARQ-ACK codebook size determined by whether semi-static codebook or dynamic HARQ-ACK codebook is used, wherein:

a transport block (TB) level HARQ-ACK includes a HARQ-ACK bit for a TB, and a code block group (CBG) level HARQ-ACK includes HARQ-ACK bits for CBGs of the TB; and

in a case that a DL transmission is scheduled with a fallback DCI, the TB level HARQ- ACK is generated for the DL transmission and the TB level HARQ-ACK is expanded to the number of bits of a CBG level HARQ-ACK by repetition of HARQ-ACK bit(s) of the TB HARQ-ACK.
