Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided for performing communication in a wireless communication system is provided. A number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes is set as N. The N is a natural number, one value within a maximum value, 16, and set based on a configuration of a base station (BS). Downlink control information (DCI) is received including a 1-bit HARQ-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback request for all of N HARQ processes. HARQ-ACK information associated with all of the N HARQ processes is identified, based on the received DCI. A number of bits for the HARQ-ACK information is defined based on xN by the configuration, and the x is a natural number. The HARQ-ACK information is transmitted to the BS.

Claims (41)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a configuration indicating a number N of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes used for downlink transmissions;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) format 1-1 including a 1-bit HARQ-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback indication for all of the N HARQ processes indicated by the configuration;

identifying HARQ-ACK information associated with all of the N HARQ processes indicated by the configuration, in response to receiving the DCI format 1-1, wherein a number of bits for the HARQ-ACK information is identified based on the N indicated by the configuration, and wherein HARQ-ACK information for a transport block (TB) for a HARQ process is set to a negative acknowledgement (NACK) in case that the HARQ-ACK information for the TB for the HARQ process is absent; and

transmitting the HARQ-ACK information through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to the base station,

wherein, based on the DCI format 1-1 including the 1-bit HARQ-ACK feedback indication for all of the N HARO processes. the DCI format 1-1 requests the HARQ-ACK information associated with all of the N HARQ processes and does not schedule a data transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of bits for the HARQ-ACK information is defined based on xN by the configuration, and the x and the N are natural numbers.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the x is 1 and the number of bits for the HARQ-ACK information is the N.

4. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
