Abstract

Method, systems and devices for configuring time domain resource allocation (TDRA) of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a user equipment. The method includes receiving, by the user equipment, a radio resource control (RRC), the RRC configuring a TDRA type corresponding to a TDRA table. Another method includes sending, by a network base station, a RRC configuring a TDRA type corresponding to a TDRA table for the user equipment.

Claims (46)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: receiving, by a user equipment, a radio resource control (RRC), the RRC configuring a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) type corresponding to a TDRA table of a channel wherein: the TDRA type comprises a type IV RRC, the TDRA table configured by the type IV RRC comprises a plurality of entries, each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, at least one pair of start and length values, at least one mapping type, and a repetition number, for any entry comprising a repetition number larger than one, the entry comprises only one pair of start and length values and one mapping type, and for any entry comprising a repetition number equal to one, the entry comprises at least one pair of start and length values, at least one mapping type, wherein a pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is equal to a number of the at least one mapping type.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the TDRA type comprises one of a set of TDRA types, wherein the set of TDRA types comprises a type I RRC, a type II RRC, and a type III RRC;

the TDRA table configured by the type I RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, a pair of start and length values, a mapping type, and a repetition number;

the TDRA table configured by the type II RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, at least one pair of start and length values, and at least one mapping type, wherein a pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is equal to a number of the at least one mapping type; and

the TDRA table configured by the type III RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, a pair of start and length values, and a mapping type.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein:

a gap of at least one symbol exists between at least two consecutive pairs of start and length values.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the channel comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

the TDRA type comprises a type V RRC;

the TDRA table configured by the type V RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein:

each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, and a repetition number,

for any entry comprising a repetition number larger than one, the entry comprises at least one pair of start and length values and at least one mapping type.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein:

a pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is larger than one; and

the TDRA of the PUSCH is configured in a hybrid mode based on the entry in the TDRA table.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein:

the pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is equal to the number of the at least one mapping type; and

the repetition number is a repetition time number for each one pair of start and length values for a transport block with corresponding mapping type.

7. A method for wireless communication, comprising: sending, by a network base station, a radio resource control (RRC), the RRC configuring a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) type corresponding to a TDRA table of a channel, wherein: the TDRA type comprises a type IV RRC, the TDRA table configured by the type IV RRC comprises a plurality of entries, each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, at least one pair of start and length values, at least one mapping type, and a repetition number, for any entry comprising a repetition number larger than one, the entry comprises only one pair of start and length values and one mapping type, and for any entry comprising a repetition number equal to one, the entry comprises at least one pair of start and length values, at least one mapping type, wherein a pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is equal to a number of the at least one mapping type.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein:

the TDRA type comprises one of a set of TDRA types, wherein the set of TDRA types comprises a type I RRC, a type II RRC, and a type III RRC;

the TDRA table configured by the type I RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, a pair of start and length values, a mapping type, and a repetition number;

the TDRA table configured by the type II RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, at least one pair of start and length values, and at least one mapping type, wherein a pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is equal to a number of the at least one mapping type; and

the TDRA table configured by the type III RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, a pair of start and length values, and a mapping type.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein:

a gap of at least one symbol exists between at least two consecutive pairs of start and length values.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein:

the channel comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

the TDRA type comprises a type V RRC;

the TDRA table configured by the type V RRC comprises a plurality of entries, wherein:

each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, and a repetition number,

for any entry comprising a repetition number larger than one, the entry comprises at least one pair of start and length values and at least one mapping type.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein:

a pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is larger than one; and

the TDRA of the PUSCH is configured in a hybrid mode based on the entry in the TDRA table.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein:

the pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is equal to the number of the at least one mapping type; and

the repetition number is a repetition time number for each one pair of start and length values for a transport block with corresponding mapping type.

13. An apparatus comprising: a memory storing instructions; and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the instructions, the processor is configured to cause the apparatus to perform: receiving a radio resource control (RRC), the RRC configuring a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) type corresponding to a TDRA table of a channel, wherein: the TDRA type comprises a type IV RRC, the TDRA table configured by the type IV RRC comprises a plurality of entries, each entry of the plurality of entries comprises a K2, at least one pair of start and length values, at least one mapping type, and a repetition number, for any entry comprising a repetition number larger than one, the entry comprises only one pair of start and length values and one mapping type, and for any entry comprising a repetition number equal to one, the entry comprises at least one pair of start and length values, at least one mapping type, wherein a pair number of the at least one pair of start and length values is equal to a number of the at least one mapping type.

14. An apparatus comprising:
