Abstract

A base station may transmit DCI(s) indicating an initial timing of a first HARQ feedback and a first timing of second HARQ feedback(s). The first HARQ feedback may be deferred from the initial timing to the first timing. The base station may receive a HARQ feedback codebook comprising the first HARQ feedback and the second HARQ feedback(s). Based on the first HARQ feedback being deferred, a first position of the first HARQ feedback in the HARQ feedback codebook may be after second position(s) of the second HARQ feedback(s).

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station, one or more downlink control information (DCIs) indicating:

an initial timing of a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback; and

a first timing of one or more second HARQ feedbacks;

wherein the first HARQ feedback is deferred from the initial timing to the first timing based on the initial timing overlapping with one or more downlink symbols;

receiving, in the first timing, a HARQ feedback codebook comprising the first HARQ feedback and the one or more second HARQ feedbacks; and

wherein, based on the first HARQ feedback being deferred, a first position of the first HARQ feedback, in an ordered plurality of HARQ feedbacks within the HARQ feedback codebook, is after one or more second positions of the one or more second HARQ feedbacks.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first timing does not comprise a downlink symbol.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more second HARQ feedbacks are not deferred.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more first HARQ feedbacks are deferred from one or more initial timings to the first timing.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein one or more first positions, of the one or more first HARQ feedbacks in the HARQ feedback codebook, are based on a first order.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the one or more first HARQ feedbacks are appended to the one or more second HARQ feedbacks.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more second positions are based on a second order.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first position is after the one or more second positions further based on the one or more second HARQ feedbacks being scheduled for initial transmission in the first timing.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initial timing is based on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing indicator field of a first DCI in the one or more DCIs.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the HARQ feedback codebook is via a physical uplink control channel.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit one or more downlink control information (DCIs) indicating:

an initial timing of a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback; and

a first timing of one or more second HARQ feedbacks;

wherein the first HARQ feedback is deferred from the initial timing to the first timing based on the initial timing overlapping with one or more downlink symbols;

receive, in the first timing, a HARQ feedback codebook comprising the first HARQ feedback and the one or more second HARQ feedbacks; and

wherein, based on the first HARQ feedback being deferred, a first position of the first HARQ feedback, in an ordered plurality of HARQ feedbacks within the HARQ feedback codebook, is after one or more second positions of the one or more second HARQ feedbacks.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first timing does not comprise a downlink symbol.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more second HARQ feedbacks are not deferred.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein one or more first HARQ feedbacks are deferred from one or more initial timings to the first timing.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein one or more first positions, of the one or more first HARQ feedbacks in the HARQ feedback codebook, are based on a first order.

16. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the one or more first HARQ feedbacks are appended to the one or more second HARQ feedbacks.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more second positions are based on a second order.

18. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first position is after the one or more second positions further based on the one or more second HARQ feedbacks being scheduled for initial transmission in the first timing.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the initial timing is based on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) to hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing indicator field of a first DCI in the one or more DCIs.

20. The base station of claim 11 , wherein receiving the HARQ feedback codebook is via a physical uplink control channel.
