Abstract

A base station device includes: a transmitter configured to transmit a transport block that includes a plurality of code block groups; and a receiver configured to receive a confirmation signal which indicates that one or more code block groups of the plurality of code block groups has not been successfully received. The transmitter configured to transmit a control signal. The control signal comprises a first information indicates the one or more code block groups to be retransmitted and a second information bit indicates either the one or more code block groups being retransmitted are combinable with the received one or more code block groups or the received one or more code block groups corresponding to the one or more code block groups being retransmitted is corrupted.

Claims (43)

1. A base station device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a transport block that includes a plurality of code block groups; and

a receiver configured to receive a confirmation signal which indicates that one or more code block groups of the plurality of code block groups has not been successfully received, wherein

the transmitter transmits a control signal when the receiver receives the confirmation signal, and

the control signal comprises first information that indicates the one or more code block groups to be retransmitted to a user equipment (UE) and second information that indicates to the UE either to recover data by combining the one or more code block groups being retransmitted and earlier received one or more code block groups stored in a buffer or to recover data from the one or more code block groups being retransmitted without using the earlier received one or more code block groups.

2. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein

the transmitter retransmits one or more code block groups from the plurality of code block groups indicated by the received confirmation signal.

3. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein

the one or more code block groups being retransmitted correspond to the received one or more code block groups.

4. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein

the control signal indicates downlink control information (DCI).

5. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein

the confirmation signal includes an ACK/NACK bit for each code block group CBG.

6. The base station device of claim 4 , wherein

the control signal is included in a downlink control signal that controls PDSCH for transmitting data from the base station device.

7. The base station device of claim 6 , wherein

the control signal includes modulation scheme (MCS) information, redundancy version (RV) information, new data indicator (NDI) information and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information.

8. The base station device of claim 7 , wherein

the redundancy version information indicates the redundancy version of a hybrid automatic repeat request sequence, the new data indicator information indicates whether the data being transmitted in the slot is new data.

9. The base station device of claim 1 , wherein

the receiver further receives the confirmation signal that indicates whether the transport block have been successfully received, and

the transmitter retransmits the corresponding transport block according to the confirmation signal.

10. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a transport block that includes a plurality of code block groups and a control signal; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a confirmation signal that indicates whether each of the plurality of code block groups is successfully received by the receiver, wherein

the receiver receives the control signal after the transmitter transmits the confirmation signal, and

the control signal comprises first information that indicates the one or more code block groups to be retransmitted and second information that indicates either to recover data by combining the one or more code block groups being retransmitted and earlier received one or more code block groups stored in a buffer or to recover data from the one or more code block groups being retransmitted without using the earlier received one or more code block groups.

11. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein

the receiver receives one or more code block groups from the plurality of code block groups indicated by the transmitted confirmation signal.

12. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein

the one or more code block groups being retransmitted correspond to the received one or more code block groups.

13. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein

the control signal indicates downlink control information (DCI).

14. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein

the confirmation signal includes HARQ-ACK information bits which have a one-to-one mapping with the CBGs.

15. The user equipment of claim 13 , wherein

the control signal is included in a downlink control signal that controls PDSCH for transmitting data from the base station device.

16. The user equipment of claim 15 , wherein

the control signal includes modulation scheme (MCS) information, redundancy version (RV) information, new data indicator (NDI) information and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information.

17. The user equipment of claim 16 , wherein

the redundancy version information indicates the redundancy version of a hybrid automatic repeat request sequence, the new data indicator information indicates whether the data being transmitted in the slot is new data.

18. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein

the receiver further receives the corresponding transport block according to the confirmation signal.
