Abstract:
Timing considerations for autonomous uplink (AUL) downlink feedback information (AUL-DFI) is disclosed. With the flexible timeline for new radio (NR) operations, signaling of the processing timeline may be used for the served user equipments (UEs) to properly interpret the acknowledgement information in the AUL-DFI. The UE receives a signal identifying a minimum processing time of the serving base station to process AUL. Using the knowledge of the minimum processing time, the UE determines which of the outstanding AUL transmissions are accurately addressed in the AUL-DFI and which are still pending. Additional signaling to the UE may instruct the UE when to implement any changes to transmission parameters also signaled via the AUL-DFI. Slots prior to the indicated change time will be transmitted using the current parameters, while slots after the indicated time will use the updated parameters from the AUL-DFI.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided to determine the size of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebook to be transmitted over a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The HARQ-ACK codebook size may be determined by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) from the HARQ timing and/or counter downlink assignment index (DAI), or may be received in a downlink control information (DCI). HARQ-ACK resource determination may be based on the feedback timing. A WTRU may implicitly indicate the size of the HARQ-ACK codebook, and/or may fall back to a default HARQ-ACK codebook size.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining and utilizing resources for communicating an acknowledgment message (ACK). In certain aspects, a method generally includes determining a number of bits to utilize for communicating an acknowledgement (ACK) for a data transmission on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The method further includes determining a resource on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to utilize for communicating the ACK based on the number of bits. The method further includes communicating the ACK on the resource.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an method for transmitting uplink control information (UCI), the method comprising determining, by a user equipment (UE), physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources for transmitting at least one selected from hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information and scheduling request (SR) information, wherein one of the PUCCH resources are used as an SR resource, determining, by the UE, an occupied PUCCH resource, determining, by the UE, whether it is necessary to transmit the SR information currently and transmitting the HARQ-ACK information and the SR information according to the SR resource.

A method comprising: in response to a first cell condition in a wireless communication network, transmitting a first indication from an apparatus to a user equipment, the first indication configured to cause the user equipment and/or apparatus to operate according to a first mode in which decoding of information is suspended; and in response to a second cell condition, communicating a second indication with the user equipment, the second indication configured to cause the user equipment and/or apparatus to operate according to a second mode in which decoding of the information is performed.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to block acknowledgment for MU-MIMO. A device may determine a first multiuser frame comprised of one or more subframes to be sent to one or more devices in a multiuser multiple input and multiple output (MU MIMO) group. The device may cause to set a first acknowledgement policy field in a first subframe of the first multiuser frame. The device may cause to send the first MU frame to the one or more devices. The device may identify a first block acknowledgement frame received from a first device of the one or more devices.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for expediting repetition of an unanswered poll for automatic repeat request (ARQ) feedback are provided. One method includes transmitting a poll to a peer protocol entity to trigger status reporting at the peer protocol entity, starting a timer with a duration that is set based on whether at least one predefined condition is met. The at least one predefined condition depends at least on a value of a sequence number (SN) of a protocol data unit (PDU) in which the poll is transmitted. The method may further include re-transmitting a poll when the timer expires.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for operating a satellite access network (SAN) of a satellite communication system to schedule communications with a user terminal. In some aspects, the SAN may provision a communication frame, for the user terminal, into a number of forward-link (FL) subframes and a different number of reverse-link (RL) subframes. The SAN then transmits the FL subframes to the user terminal via a forward link of the satellite communication system, and subsequently receives the RL subframes from the user terminal via a reverse link of the satellite communication system.
Abstract:
Configuration data is acquired (S21) at a transmitting apparatus, which indicates a number of transmission channels to be used for processing data packets at a receiving apparatus. The number of transmission channels is higher than a number of soft decoding buffers available at the receiving apparatus, the soft decoding buffers being usable for storing data packets to be retransmitted. The configuration data is transmitted (S22) to the receiving apparatus via an air interface. The receiving apparatus receives (S11) the configuration data from the transmitting apparatus and controls (S12) processing of data packets received from the transmitting apparatus based on the configuration data.
Abstract:
A method is implemented by a station (STA) in a wireless network to provide an uplink (UL) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) acknowledgement. The method includes receiving a first Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit (PPDU), where a Media Access Control (MAC) header of a MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) in the first PPDU includes a Simplified Scheduling Information subfield that carries scheduling information for scheduling the UL OFDMA acknowledgement. The method further includes generating a second PPDU that includes an acknowledgement frame, determining an uplink cyclic prefix length to apply to the second PPDU based on a cyclic prefix length of the first PPDU, where the uplink cyclic prefix length is longer than the cyclic prefix length of the first PPDU, and transmitting the second PPDU through a wireless medium according to the scheduling information, where the uplink cyclic prefix length is applied to the second PPDU.
