Abstract

Claims (50)

1. A method of operating a network node in a wireless telecommunication network, the method comprising:

generating a configuration message that comprises transmit format data corresponding to a multiple segment transmission on a physical shared channel, the transmit format data comprising a combination of starting point and length of transmission data, and an indication of which symbols are used for transmission; and

initiating the transmission of the configuration message to a user equipment, UE, to identify the transmit format data for the multiple segment transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical shared channel comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration message comprises RV determination data and the RV determination data is determined by an initial RV for an initial PUSCH segment and a next RV in an RV sequence.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein an SFI, slot format indicator, DCI message is used to determine which symbols are used for UL transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein RRC signaling is used to determine which symbols are used for UL transmission.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration message comprises TDRA table data associated with a TDRA table and wherein a row in the TDRA table is associated with a plurality of combinations of start symbol identifier and a symbol length value.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmit format data further comprises at least one of:

transport block size (TBS) determination data;

redundancy version (RV) determination data;

time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table data; and/or

demodulated reference signal (DMRS) data for multiple segment transmission.

8. A base station (gNB) of a wireless communication network,

the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to provide wireless network communication with a wireless terminal; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

provide wireless network communications through the transceiver;

generate a configuration message that comprises transmit format data corresponding to a multiple segment transmission on a physical shared channel, the transmit format data comprising a combination of starting point and length of transmission data, and an indication of which symbols are used for UL transmission; and

initiate transmission of the configuration message to a user equipment, UE, to identify the transmit format data for the multiple segment transmission.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the transmit format data further comprises at least one of:

TBS determination data;

RV determination data;

TDRA table data; and/or

DMRS data for multiple segment transmission.

10. A method of operating a wireless device in a wireless telecommunication network, the method comprising:

receiving a configuration message that comprises transmit format data corresponding to a multiple segment transmission on a physical shared channel, the transmit format data comprising a combination of starting point and length of transmission data, and an indication of which symbols are used for UL transmission; and

initiating at least one of sending and receiving the multiple segment transmission on the physical shared channel based on the configuration message.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the physical shared channel comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

12. The method of any of claim 10 , wherein the configuration message comprises RV determination data and the RV determination data is determined by an initial RV for an initial PUSCH segment of the multiple segment transmission and a next RV in an RV sequence.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the initial RV for the initial PUSCH segment is provided by a radio resource control, RRC, signal or an RV field in an activation downlink control indicator (DCI).

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the RV sequence is used cyclically.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein an SFI, slot format indicator, DCI message is used to determine which symbols are used for UL transmission.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein RRC signaling is used to determine which symbols are used for UL transmission.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the transmit format data further comprises at least one of:

TBS determination data;

RV determination data;

TDRA table data; and/or

DMRS data for multiple segment transmission.

18. A first wireless device (UE) comprising:

a transceiver configured to provide wireless network communication with a wireless communication network; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

provide wireless network communication through the transceiver, and

receive a configuration message that comprises transmit format data corresponding to a multiple segment transmission on a physical shared channel, the transmit format data comprising a combination of starting point and length of transmission data, and an indication of which symbols are used for UL transmission; and

initiate at least one of sending and receiving the multiple segment transmission on the physical shared channel based on the configuration message.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the transmit format data further comprises at least one of:

TBS determination data;

RV determination data;

TDRA table data; and/or

DMRS data for multiple segment transmission.
