Abstract

Techniques are described to feedback hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook. For example, a base station can send HARQ-ACK codebook information to a user equipment, schedule retransmission, and transmit a downlink feedback information (DFI) if the user equipment transmits a code block group (CBG) based autonomous transmission. Techniques are also described for a user equipment to improve the feedback HARQ-ACK efficiency for downlink physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission.

Claims (48)

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a network node, a data transmission from a communication node; and

transmitting to the communication node a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook in a downlink feedback information (DFI) in a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook is based on the received data transmission,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes the DFI and a DCI format associated with the DCI, and

wherein the PDCCH includes one or more padded zeros in response to a number of bits of the DFI being less than another number of bits corresponding to the DCI format associated with the DFI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI includes a 1-bit indication information that distinguishes whether the DCI is used for scheduling an uplink transmission or for feeding back an acknowledgement or non-acknowledgement for an uplink transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI includes information related to a transmit power control (TPC).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI includes a carrier indication information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DFI is carried by a DCI format 0_1.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponds to a number of pre-configured data transmission opportunities in a pre-configured time window,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a first set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of transport blocks (TBs) received in the data transmission in the pre-configured time window, and

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a second set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of code block groups (CBGs) within each transport block.

7. A wireless communication method, comprising:

transmitting, by a communication node, a data transmission to a network node; and

receiving, by the communication node, a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook in a downlink control feedback information (DFI) in a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook is based on the data transmission received by the network node,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes the DFI and a DCI format associated with the DCI, and

wherein the PDCCH includes one or more padded zeros in response to a number of bits of the DFI being less than another number of bits corresponding to the DCI format associated with the DFI.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the DCI includes a 1-bit indication information that distinguishes whether the DCI is used for scheduling an uplink transmission or for feeding back an acknowledgement or non-acknowledgement for an uplink transmission.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the DCI includes information related to a transmit power control (TPC).

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the DCI includes a carrier indication information.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the DFI is carried by a DCI format 0_1.

12. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponds to a number of pre-configured data transmission opportunities in a pre-configured time window,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a first set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of transport blocks (TBs) transmitted in the data transmission in the pre-configured time window, and

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a second set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of code block groups (CBGs) within each transport block.

13. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor, configured to implement a method, comprising:

receive, by a network node, a data transmission from a communication node; and

transmit to the communication node a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook in a downlink control feedback information (DFI) in a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook is based on the received data transmission,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes the DFI and a DCI format associated with the DCI, and

wherein the PDCCH includes one or more padded zeros in response to a number of bits of the DFI being less than another number of bits corresponding to the DCI format associated with the DFI.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the DCI includes a 1-bit indication information that distinguishes whether the DCI is used for scheduling an uplink transmission or for feeding back an acknowledgement or non-acknowledgement for an uplink transmission.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the DCI includes information related to a transmit power control (TPC).

16. The apparatus of claim 13 ,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponds to a number of pre-configured data transmission opportunities in a pre-configured time window,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a first set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of transport blocks (TBs) received in the data transmission in the pre-configured time window, and

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a second set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of code block groups (CBGs) within each transport block.

17. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor, configured to implement a method, comprising:

transmit, by a communication node, a data transmission to a network node; and

receive, by the communication node, a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook in a downlink feedback information (DFI) in a downlink control information (DCI), wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook is based on the data transmission received by the network node,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes the DFI and a DCI format associated with the DCI, and

wherein the PDCCH includes one or more padded zeros in response to a number of bits of the DFI being less than another number of bits corresponding to the DCI format associated with the DFI.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the DCI includes a 1-bit indication information that distinguishes whether the DCI is used for scheduling an uplink transmission or for feeding back an acknowledgement or non-acknowledgement for an uplink transmission.

19. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the DCI includes information related to a transmit power control (TPC).

20. The apparatus of claim 17 ,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook corresponds to a number of pre-configured data transmission opportunities in a pre-configured time window,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a first set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of transport blocks (TBs) transmitted in the data transmission in the pre-configured time window, and

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook includes a second set of bits corresponding to a cascading of a plurality of code block groups (CBGs) within each transport block.
