Abstract

An information feedback apparatus, applicable to a terminal equipment, includes: processor circuitry configured to: determine a candidate PDSCH reception occasion set, and determine bits of HARQ-ACK information in an HARQ-ACK codebook according to the number of scheduled PDSCHs and/or according to the number of scheduled valid PDSCHs; and a transmitter configured to transmit the codebook, the codebook including HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion set corresponds.

Claims (34)

1 . An information feedback apparatus, applicable to a terminal equipment, the information feedback apparatus comprising:

processor circuitry configured to:

determine a candidate PDSCH reception occasion set, and

determine bits of HARQ-ACK information in an HARQ-ACK codebook according to the number of scheduled PDSCHs and/or according to the number of scheduled valid PDSCHs; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the codebook, the codebook including HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion set corresponds.

2 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein for a candidate PDSCH reception occasion in the candidate PDSCH reception occasion set, the fourth processing unit determines bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion corresponds according to the number of PDSCHs scheduled by a single DCI associated with the candidate PDSCH reception occasion and/or the number of valid PDSCHs scheduled by a single DCI associated with the candidate PDSCH reception occasion.

3 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when the number of PDSCHs scheduled by a single DCI associated with the candidate PDSCH reception occasion is greater than 1 and the number of valid PDSCHs scheduled by the single DCI associated with the candidate PDSCH reception occasion is 1, the bits of the HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion corresponds are equal to the bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the associated valid PDSCH corresponds.

4 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein when the number of PDSCHs scheduled by the single DCI associated with the candidate PDSCH reception occasion and the number of valid PDSCHs scheduled by the single DCI associated with the candidate PDSCH reception occasion are greater than 1, the bits of the HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion corresponds are equal to a binary AND of bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the associated valid PDSCHs correspond.

5 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a PDSCH or a valid PDSCH with which the same candidate PDSCH reception occasion is associated is scheduled by the same DCI.

6 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein more than one PDSCH or more than one valid PDSCH with which the same candidate PDSCH reception occasion is associated are scheduled by different DCI, or a part thereof are scheduled by DCI, and the other part are SPS PDSCHs.

7 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein for a candidate PDSCH reception occasion in the candidate PDSCH reception occasion set, PDSCH(s) with which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion is associated comprises one or more than one SPS PDSCH.

8 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion corresponds are equal to bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the one SPS PDSCH corresponds, or are equal to a binary AND of bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the more than one SPS PDSCH correspond.

9 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the more than one SPS PDSCH correspond to identical or different SPS configurations, and/or are activated by different DCI.

10 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a PDSCH with which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion is associated does not include a PDSCH scheduled by the DCI.

11 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a PDSCH with which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion is associated further comprises one or more than one PDSCH scheduled by the DCI.

12 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the bits of the HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion corresponds are equal to bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI corresponds or a binary AND of bits of HARQ-ACK information to which the PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI correspond.

13 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to control to not receive a SPS PDSCH.

14 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein a SPS PDSCH is located before or after or in the PDSCHs scheduled by the DCI in the time domain.

15 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein an HARQ process ID to which the SPS PDSCH corresponds is different from an HARQ process ID of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI, or is identical to an HARQ process ID of a PDSCH in the more than one PDSCH scheduled by the DCI.

16 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a receiver configured to receive one or more DCIs scheduling a PDSCH and/or one or more DCIs activating SPS.

17 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a receiver configured to receive DCI deactivating SPS;

wherein the processor circuitry determines that bits in the codebook used to feed back the HARQ-ACK information of the DCI are bits of HARQ-ACK information corresponding to a candidate PDSCH reception occasion associated with SPS PDSCH corresponding to SPS deactivated by the DCI, or

that bits in the codebook used to feed back the HARQ-ACK information of the DCI are bits of HARQ-ACK information corresponding to a candidate PDSCH reception occasion associated with SPS PDSCH corresponding to SPS with a smallest index in multiple deactivated SPSs.

18 . The information feedback apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,

the processor circuitry determines the candidate PDSCH reception occasion set according to whether time domain bundling is configured and/or whether multi-PDSCH scheduling is configured and/or a subcarrier spacing of a downlink BWP and/or whether it is capable of receiving more than one PDSCH per slot.

19 . A network device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit PDSCHs; and

a receiver configured to receive an HARQ-ACK codebook including HARQ-ACK information to which a candidate PDSCH reception occasion set corresponds, bits of the HARQ-ACK information in the HARQ-ACK codebook is according to the number of scheduled PDSCHs and/or according to the number of scheduled valid PDSCHs.

20 . An information feedback apparatus, applicable to a terminal equipment, the information feedback apparatus comprising:

processor circuitry configured to:

determine a candidate PDSCH reception occasion set according to whether time domain bundling is configured and/or whether multi-PDSCH scheduling is configured and/or a subcarrier spacing of a downlink BWP and/or whether it is capable of receiving more than one PDSCH per slot, and

a transmitter configured to transmit an HARQ-ACK codebook, the codebook including HARQ-ACK information to which the candidate PDSCH reception occasion set corresponds.
