Abstract

A method performed at a network node for scheduling DL transmissions and a corresponding network node is disclosed. The method includes determining, based on a number of TBs (TBs) scheduled in a DL transmission to be transmitted and a maximum number of CBGs dividable in the DL transmission, a maximum number of CBGs dividable in each TB of the DL transmission; determining a CBG configuration of CBGs scheduled in a corresponding TB based on a maximum number of CBGs dividable in each TB of the DL transmission; and transmitting DL control signaling indicating the CBG configuration. In addition, a method performed at a UE for feedback HARQ-ACK, and a corresponding UE, and a communication system including the network node and UE is also disclosed.

Claims (38)

1. A method performed at a user equipment (UE) for transmitting and receiving a signal, the method comprising:

receiving code block groups (CBGs) included in a transport block (TB) on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH);

generating negative acknowledgement (NACK) bits for the CBGs included in the TB, in case that the CBGs are correctly detected, while the TB is not correctly detected; and

transmitting the generated NACK bits,

wherein in case that a number of the CBGs, N CBG , included in the TB is less than a configured maximum number, N max_CBG , for the CBGs, at least one NACK bit is further generated, and

wherein a number of the at least one NACK bit further generated is equal to a difference between the N max_CBG and the N CBG .

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, for a retransmitted TB, in case a CBG of the retransmitted TB is correctly decoded in a previous transmission, generating an ACK value for the CBG of the retransmitted TB.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum number N max_CBG , for the CBGs is configured by a high-layer signaling.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is not applicable in case that a CBG-based PDSCH reception is configured.

5. A method performed at a base station for transmitting and receiving a signal, the method comprising:

transmitting code block groups (CBGs) included in a transport block (TB) on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), to a user equipment (UE); and

receiving negative acknowledgement (NACK) bits for the CBGs included in the TB, in case that the CBGs are correctly detected, while the TB is not correctly detected,

wherein in case that a number of the CBGs, N CBG , included in the TB is less than a configured maximum number, N max_CBG , for the CBGs, at least one NACK bit is further generated, and

wherein a number of the at least one NACK bit further generated is equal to a difference between the N max_CBG and the N CBG .

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the maximum number, N max_CBG , for the CBGs is configured by a higher-layer signaling.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein, for a retransmitted TB, in case a CBG of the retransmitted TB is correctly decoded at the UE in a previous transmission, an ACK value for the CBG of the retransmitted TB is generated.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein a HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is not applicable in case that a CBG-based PDSCH reception is configured.

9. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting and receiving signal, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, code block groups (CBGs) included in a transport block (TB) on a Physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),

generate negative acknowledgement (NACK) bits for the CBGs included in the TB, in case that the CBGs are correctly detected, while the TB is not correctly detected, and

transmit, via the transceiver, the generated NACK bits,

wherein in case that a number of the CBGs, N CBG , included in the TB is less than a configured maximum number, N max_CBG , for the CBGs, at least one NACK bit is further generated, and

wherein a number of the at least one NACK bit further generated is equal to a difference between the N max_CBG and the N CBG .

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the maximum number, N max_CBG , for the CBGs is configured by a high-layer signaling.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to, for a retransmitted TB, in case a CBG of the retransmitted TB is correctly decoded in a previous transmission, generate an ACK value for the CBG of the retransmitted TB.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein a HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is not applicable in case that a CBG-based PDSCH reception is configured.

13. A base station for transmitting and receiving signal, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver, code block groups (CBGs) included in a transport block (TB) on a Physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to a user equipment (UE), and

receive, via the transceiver, negative acknowledgement (NACK) bits for the CBGs included in the TB, in case that the CBGs are correctly detected, while the TB is not correctly detected,

wherein in case that a number of the CBGs, N CBG , included in the TB is less than a configured maximum number, N max_CBG , for the CBGs, at least one NACK bit is further generated, and

wherein a number of the at least one NACK bit further generated is equal to a difference between the N max_CBG and the N CBG .

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the maximum number, Nmax_CBG, for the CBGs is configured by a higher-layer signaling.

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein, for a retransmitted TB, in case a CBG of the retransmitted TB is correctly decoded at the UE in a previous transmission, an ACK value for the CBG of the retransmitted TB is generated.

16. The base station of claim 13 , wherein a HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is not applicable in case that a CBG-based PDSCH reception is configured.
