Provided is a mobile station which communicates with abase station using a radio channel, the mobile station comprising: a switching unit configured to switch from a packet reception period, during which packet reception can be executed, to a packet reception halt period, during which packet reception is halted; a transmission unit configured to transmit, to the base station, a result of receiving a packet sent from the base station, as a reception result notification signal; a packet reception determination unit configured to determine a packet reception fault; and a reception period determination unit configured to extend the packet reception period if the packet reception fault is determined by the packet reception determination unit.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for unambiguous mapping between downlink control channel transmissions, downlink shared channel transmissions, and uplink acknowledgment feedback resources. The uplink acknowledgment feedback resource may be located within a same transmission time interval (TTI). A base station may configure codebook-based acknowledgment resources from a user equipment (UE), and feedback delay values may be associated with time domain resources of the downlink shared channel transmissions. In some examples, feedback delay values may be associated with particular search spaces or monitoring occasions of the downlink control channel transmissions that include resource allocations for the downlink shared channel transmissions. A UE using codebook-based acknowledgment feedback resources may thus unambiguously identify uplink resources that are to be used for transmitting the uplink acknowledgment feedback.

A method, performed by a terminal, of transmitting and receiving a signal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes setting a value of a Next_Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)_RX_sequence number (SN) variable as an initial value, the Next_PDCP_RX_SN variable indicating a predicted SN of PDCP data to be received, receiving first PDCP data from a transmission entity after setting the initial value, and setting the value of the Next_PDCP_RX_SN variable as a value obtained by adding a first setting value to a value of the SN of the PDCP data.

Techniques and apparatus for hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) bundling in half duplex frequency division duplexing (HD-FDD) systems are provided. One technique includes determining ACK parameter(s) to be used for acknowledging a bundled transmission that includes instance(s) of a channel across subframe(s). An indication of the ACK parameter(s) is signaled to a user equipment (UE). The ACK parameter(s) include a first ACK parameter that conveys a size of the bundled transmission and a second ACK parameter that conveys an amount of time for the UE to delay acknowledging a data transmission in an instance of the channel after receiving the data transmission. The UE may acknowledge the bundled transmission in accordance with the ACK parameter(s).

The described technology is generally directed towards a composite HARQ-ACK response that contains information corresponding to a current HARQ-ACK composed with one or more previous HARQ-ACKs in a single uplink transmission. As a result, even with a HARQ-ACK repetition factor greater than one, the network is able to schedule the user equipment in consecutive time intervals as if the repetition factor was one (that is, as if no repetition).

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for detecting when a data transmission has been preempted or punctured by detecting inconsistency in the modulation or other signal characteristic of a received signal. If an inconsistency is detected, measures can be taken to mitigate potential problems caused by the inconsistent data. In one example, the receiving device (30) may identify soft bits in a soft buffer that may have been corrupted and flush the corrupted parts from the soft buffer.

Systems and methods presented herein provide for increasing a contention window of a UE employing a LTE communications operating in a radio frequency (RF) band comprising a conflicting wireless technology. In one embodiment, an eNodeB receives a transport block of data from a user equipment (UE). The transport block includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The eNodeB then determines a checksum of the transport block based on the CRC, fails the checksum, and transmits a non-acknowledgement (NACK) of the transport block to the UE based on the failed checksum. The UE, in response to the NACK, increases a contention window and re-transmits the transport block to the eNodeB.

Disclosed in the present invention are: a method for adjusting a contention window size (CWS) for uplink listen-before-talk (LBT) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band; and a device for supporting the same. More particularly, disclosed are a base station centric CWS adjusting method, a terminal centric CWS adjusting method, and devices for supporting the same.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may observe control channel monitoring occasions (PMOs) corresponding to different beams configured by a base station. The UE may identify a PMO in a system information window to monitor for downlink control information scheduling a shared channel carrying a system information message. The UE may receive an indication of which synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks are actually transmitted by the base station and determine corresponding PMOs within the system information window. The UE may then monitor for the downlink control channel within the system information window during the corresponding PMOs. The base station and the UE may also implement techniques for system information message repetition within a system information window.

Accordingly the embodiments herein provide a for providing a Radio Link Control (RLC) status report based on a configuration of a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity of a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless network system. The method comprises detecting, at the UE, that a RLC layer is configured to an Acknowledge Mode (AM), informing, at the UE, a t-reordering timer from the PDCP entity of the UE to a RLC entity of the UE, receiving, at the UE, a first Packet Data unit (PDU) by the entity and at least one second PDU by the RLC entity, detecting, by the UE, a PDU gap when the first PDU and the second PDU are not consecutive; providing, by the UE, the RLC status report to a transmitter side of the RLC entity of a network to recover packets missed in the PDU gap based on the t-reordering timer, and recovering, by the network, the packets based on the RLC status report.
