Abstract

Disclosed is a base station in a wireless communication system. Each base station in wireless communication comprises: a communication module; and a processor. The processor generates a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-ACK codebook comprising one or more bits and indicating whether or not reception of a channel or signal is successful, and transmits the HARQ-ACK codebook to the base station.

Claims (46)

1. A user equipment in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) associated with downlink scheduling, wherein each of the plurality of PDCCHs is received from a respective reception time in a respective cell;

transmit a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook for the downlink scheduling on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource associated with a last PDCCH of the plurality of the PDCCHs,

wherein the plurality of the PDCCHs is indexed based on a reception time and a cell index associated with each of the plurality of the PDCCHs, and

wherein, when at least two PDCCHs of the plurality of the PDCCHs have a same reception time and a same cell index, the at least two PDCCHs are indexed further based on a control resource set (CORESET) index associated with each of the at least two PDCCHs.

2. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the at least two PDCCHs are further indexed in an ascending order of CORESET indexes.

3. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the reception time is determined based on a starting symbol of each of the plurality of PDCCHs.

4. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of PDCCHs schedules a respective physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and the plurality of PDCCHs includes PDCCHs which have a same latest reception time and a same highest cell index.

5. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein counter downlink assignment indexes (c-DAIS) in the plurality of PDCCHs are ordered based on the reception time and the cell index associated with each of the plurality of the PDCCHs, and

wherein, when at least two c-DAIs have a same order based on the reception time and the same cell index, the at least two c-DAIS are ordered further based on CORESET indexes associated with the plurality of PDCCHs including the at least two c-DAIs.

6. A method for use by a user equipment in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) associated with downlink scheduling, wherein each of the plurality of PDCCHs is received from a respective reception time in a respective cell;

transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook for the downlink scheduling on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource associated with a last PDCCH of the plurality of the PDCCHs,

wherein the plurality of the PDCCHs is indexed based on a reception time and a cell index associated with each of the plurality of the PDCCHs, and

wherein, when at least two PDCCHs of the plurality of the PDCCHs have a same reception time and a same cell index, the at least two PDCCHs are indexed further based on a control resource set (CORESET) index associated with each of the at least two PDCCHs.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least two PDCCHs are further indexed in an ascending order of CORESET indexes.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the reception time is determined based on a starting symbol of each of the plurality of PDCCHs.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of PDCCHs schedules a respective physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and the plurality of PDCCHs includes PDCCHs which have a same latest reception time and a same highest cell index.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein counter downlink assignment indexes (c-DAIS) in the plurality of PDCCHs are ordered based on the reception time and the cell index associated with each of the plurality of the PDCCHs, and

wherein, when at least two c-DAIs have a same order based on the reception time and the same cell index, the at least two c-DAIS are ordered further based on CORESET indexes associated with the plurality of PDCCHs including the at least two c-DAIs.

11. A base station in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) associated with downlink scheduling, wherein each of the plurality of PDCCHs is transmitted from a respective transmission time in a respective cell;

receive a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook for the downlink scheduling on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource associated with a last PDCCH of the plurality of the PDCCHs,

wherein the plurality of the PDCCHs is indexed based on a transmission time and a cell index associated with each of the plurality of the PDCCHs, and

wherein, when at least two PDCCHs of the plurality of the PDCCHs have a same transmission time and a same cell index, the at least two PDCCHs are indexed further based on a control resource set (CORESET) index associated with each of the at least two PDCCHs.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the at least two PDCCHs are further indexed in an ascending order of CORESET indexes.
