Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting or receiving hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A method of transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: receiving, from a network, a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on a first HARQ-ACK reporting mode; receiving, from the network, a second PDSCH based on a second HARQ-ACK reporting mode; and transmitting, to the network, the HARQ-ACK information based on a sequence in which a first bit corresponds to the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode and a second bit corresponds to the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode.

Claims (31)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a terminal from a network, at least one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

transmitting, by the terminal to the network, hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information,

wherein, for the HARQ-ACK information associated only with a second HARQ-ACK reporting mode and for more than one HARQ-ACK information bit;

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource is determined from a first PUCCH configuration information for multicast related to a first HARQ-ACK reporting mode, based on the first PUCCH configuration information being provided,

the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode corresponds to a reporting mode that HARQ-ACK information including only ACK values is not transmitted and HARQ-ACK information including a non-acknowledgement (NACK) value is transmitted, and

the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode corresponds to a reporting mode that an ACK value or a NACK value based on whether a transport block of the at least one PDSCH being successfully decoded or not is generated.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the PUCCH resource is determined from a second PUCCH configuration information for unicast, based on the first PUCCH configuration information for the multicast not being provided.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

for the HARQ-ACK information associated only with the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode and for the more than one HARQ-ACK information bit, HARQ-ACK information is provided according to the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode.

4. A terminal comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor connected to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a network through the at least one transceiver, at least one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

transmit, to the network through the at least one transceiver, hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information,

wherein, for the HARQ-ACK information associated only with a second HARQ-ACK reporting mode and for more than one HARQ-ACK information bit;

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource is determined from a first PUCCH configuration information for multicast related to a first HARQ-ACK reporting mode, based on the first PUCCH configuration information being provided,

the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode corresponds to a reporting mode that HARQ-ACK information including only ACK values is not transmitted and HARQ-ACK information including a non-acknowledgement (NACK) value is transmitted, and

the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode corresponds to a reporting mode that an ACK value or a NACK value based on whether a transport block of the at least one PDSCH being successfully decoded or not is generated.

5. A base station comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor connected to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

transmit, to a terminal through the at least one transceiver, at least one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

receive, from the terminal through the at least one transceiver, hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information,

wherein, for the HARQ-ACK information associated only with a second HARQ-ACK reporting mode and for more than one HARQ-ACK information bit:

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource is determined from a first PUCCH configuration information for multicast related to a first HARQ-ACK reporting mode, based on the first PUCCH configuration information being provided,

the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode corresponds to a reporting mode that HARQ-ACK information including only ACK values is not transmitted and HARQ-ACK information including a non-acknowledgement (NACK) value is transmitted, and

the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode corresponds to a reporting mode that an ACK value or a NACK value based on whether a transport block of the at least one PDSCH being successfully decoded or not is generated.
