Abstract

Methods, circuitries, and systems are disclosed for configuring multiple PDSCH/PUSCH transmission with repetition of each transmission. In one example, a method includes receiving, from a base station, control information that indicates i) time domain resources for communication of at least two physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or at least two physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions and ii) at least one repetition number indicating a number of times each of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions is repeated. The method includes configuring operation to receive the at least two PDSCH transmissions or to transmit the at least two PUSCH transmissions based on the time domain resources and repetition number.

Claims (38)

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising a memory and a processor configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), control information that indicates a row of a pre-configured time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table, wherein each row of the TDRA includes i) at least two cells defining time domain resources for communication of at least two respective physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions and ii) at least one repetition number indicating a number of times each of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions is repeated; and

receive the at least two PDSCH transmissions or transmitting the at least two PUSCH transmissions based on the time domain resources and the at least one repetition number.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify a repetition number in the row associated with all of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions in the row; and

receive the at least two PDSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the repetition number, or transmit the at least two PUSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the repetition number.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify, in each cell of the row, a respective repetition number associated with each respective one of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions; and

receive the at least two PDSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the associated repetition number, or transmit the at least two PUSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the associated repetition number.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) CONNECTION SETUP message that configures the TDRA table.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein each row of the TDRA table includes a column that stores an indication of a repetition number.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein each cell of the TDRA table that configures a PDSCH/PUSCH transmission stores an indication of a repetition number for the PDSCH/PUSCH transmission.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the control information comprises downlink control information (DCI) that includes a TDRA Field Index value that selects a row of the TDRA table.

8. A base station (BS), comprising a memory and a processor configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), control information that indicates a row of a pre-configured time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table, wherein each row of the TDRA includes i) at least two cells defining time domain resources for communication of at least two respective physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions and ii) at least one repetition number indicating a number of times each of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions is repeated; and

transmit the at least two PDSCH transmissions or receiving the at least two PUSCH transmissions based on the time domain resources and the at least one repetition number.

9. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identifying a repetition number in the row, associated with all of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions in the row; and

transmit the at least two PDSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the single repetition number, or receive the at least two PUSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the single repetition number.

10. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify, in each cell of the row, a respective repetition number associated with each respective one of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions; and

transmit the at least two PDSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the associated repetition number, or receive the at least two PUSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the associated repetition number.

11. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit a radio resource control (RRC) CONNECTION SETUP message that configures the TDRA table.

12. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the each row of the TDRA table includes a column that stores an indication of a repetition number.

13. The BS of claim 8 , wherein each cell of the TDRA table that configures a PDSCH/PUSCH transmission stores an indication of a repetition number for the PDSCH/PUSCH transmission.

14. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the control information comprises downlink control information (DCI) that includes a TDRA Field Index value that selects a row of the TDRA table.

15. A method, comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), control information that indicates a row of a pre-configured time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table, wherein each row of the TDRA includes i) at least two cells defining time domain resources for communication of at least two respective physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions and ii) at least one repetition number indicating a number of times each of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions is repeated; and

receiving the at least two PDSCH transmissions or transmitting the at least two PUSCH transmissions based on the time domain resources and the at least one repetition number.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

identifying a repetition number in the row associated with all of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions in the row; and

receiving the at least two PDSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the repetition number, or transmitting the at least two PUSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the repetition number.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

identifying, in each cell of the row, a respective repetition number associated with each respective one of the at least two PDSCH/PUSCH transmissions; and

receiving the at least two PDSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the associated repetition number, or transmitting the at least two PUSCH transmissions, each repeated based on the associated repetition number.

18. The method of claim 15 , comprising receiving a radio resource control (RRC) CONNECTION SETUP message that configures the TDRA table.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein each row of the TDRA table includes a column that stores an indication of a repetition number.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein each cell of the TDRA table that configures a PDSCH/PUSCH transmission stores an indication of a repetition number for the PDSCH/PUSCH transmission.
