Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for determining and multiplexing acknowledgment information. A method for operating a user equipment includes receiving: information for first resources for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions to provide hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in response to semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) receptions associated with a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) from a first set of RNTIs, and information for second resources for PUCCH transmissions to provide HARQ-ACK information in response to SPS PDSCH receptions associated with a second RNTI from a second set of RNTIs. The method further includes determining a first resource from the first resources for a first PUCCH to provide only: first HARQ-ACK information in response to first SPS PDSCH receptions associated with the first RNTI, and second HARQ-ACK information in response to second SPS PDSCH receptions associated with the second RNTI; and transmitting the first PUCCH.

Claims (36)

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

receiving, from a base station, a first downlink reception, wherein the first downlink reception is a unicast semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception;

receiving, from the base station, a second downlink reception, wherein the second downlink reception is a multicast PDSCH reception, the multicast PDSCH reception being associated with one of a multicast downlink control information (DCI) format or a multicast SPS PDSCH reception;

identifying a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource from an SPS-PUCCH-AN-list for the unicast SPS PDSCH reception; and

transmitting, to the base station, first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) for the first downlink reception and second HARQ-ACK information for the second downlink reception, wherein the first HARQ-ACK information and the second HARQ-ACK information are multiplexed in the PUCCH resource.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the multicast DCI format is associated with a group radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI).

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the multicast SPS PDSCH reception is activated by a multicast DCI format associated with a group configured scheduling RNTI (G-CS-RNTI).

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SPS-PUCCH-AN-list is configured by the base station.

5 . A method of claim 1 performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a first downlink transmission, wherein the first downlink transmission is a unicast semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission;

transmitting, to the terminal, a second downlink transmission, wherein the second downlink transmission is a multicast PDSCH transmission, the multicast PDSCH transmission being associated with one of a multicast downlink control information (DCI) format or a multicast SPS PDSCH transmission;

identifying a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource from an SPS-PUCCH-AN-list for the unicast SPS PDSCH transmission; and

receiving, from the terminal, first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information for the first downlink transmission and second HARQ-ACK information for the second downlink transmission, wherein the first HARQ-ACK information and the second HARQ-ACK information are multiplexed in the PUCCH resource.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

wherein the multicast DCI format is associated with a group radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI) and the multicast SPS PDSCH transmission is activated by the multicast DCI format associated with a group configured scheduling RNTI (G-CS-RNTI).

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SPS-PUCCH-AN-list is configured to the terminal.

8 . A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a first downlink reception, wherein the first downlink reception is a unicast semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception, associated with a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) from a first set of RNTIs,

receive, from the base station, a second downlink reception, wherein the second downlink reception is a multicast PDSCH reception, the multicast PDSCH reception being associated with one of a multicast downlink control information (DCI) format or a multicast SPS PDSCH reception,

identify a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource from an SPS-PUCCH-AN-list for the unicast SPS PDSCH reception, and

transmit, to the base station, first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information for the first downlink reception and second HARQ-ACK information for the second downlink reception, wherein the first HARQ-ACK information and the second HARQ-ACK information are multiplexed in the PUCCH resource.

9 . The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the t multicast DCI format is associated with a group radio network temporary identifier (G-RNTI).

10 . The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the multicast SPS PDSCH reception is activated by a multicast DCI format associated with a group configured scheduling RNTI (G-CS-RNTI).

11 . The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the SPS-PUCCH-AN-list is configured by the base station.

12 . A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, a first downlink transmission, wherein the first downlink transmission is a unicast semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission,

transmit, to the terminal, a second downlink transmission, wherein the second downlink transmission is a multicast PDSCH transmission, the multicast PDSCH transmission being associated with one of a multicast downlink control information (DCI) format or a multicast SPS PDSCH transmission,

identify a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource from an SPS-PUCCH-AN-list for the unicast SPS PDSCH transmission, and

receive, from the terminal, first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information for the first downlink transmission and second HARQ-ACK information for the second downlink transmission, wherein the first HARQ-ACK information and the second HARQ-ACK information are multiplexed in the PUCCH resource.

13 . The base station of claim 12 , wherein the multicast DCI format is associated with a group radio network temporary identifier, G-RNTI.

14 . The base station of claim 12 , wherein the multicast SPS PDSCH transmission is activated by a multicast DCI format associated with a group configured scheduling RNTI (G-CS-RNTI).

15 . The base station of claim 12 , wherein the SPS-PUCCH-AN-list is configured to the terminal.
