Embodiments include methods for managing a reordering timer performed by a processor of a wireless device. The processor may receive packets from a communication network and store the packets in a memory buffer of the wireless device. The processor may detect one or more conditions that affect an amount of time required to reorder or reassemble at least some of the packets received from the communication network. The processor may determine a timer adjustment based on the detected one or more conditions. The processor may adjust a timer with the determined timer adjustment. The processor may deliver one or more packets from the memory buffer in response to expiration of the adjusted timer.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a negative acknowledgment (NACK) associated with a downlink communication, and may transmit a channel state information (CSI) report based at least in part on transmitting the NACK associated with the downlink communication. In some aspects, a base station may receive, from a UE, a NACK associated with a downlink communication, and may monitor for the CSI report based at least in part on receiving the NACK. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) Mechanism for Multicast in NR
Embodiments include methods, performed by a user equipment (UE), for hybrid ARQ (HARQ) feedback in relation to multicast transmissions from a network node in a radio access network (RAN). Such methods include receiving, from the network node, first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a first multicast transmission associated with the UE and determining a HARQ feedback mode for the first multicast transmission. Such methods also include, based on the first DCI, attempting to decode the first multicast transmission; and selectively transmitting HARQ feedback related to the first multicast transmission to the network node based on the determined HARQ feedback mode and on whether the attempt to decode is successful or unsuccessful. Embodiments also include complementary methods for a network node, as well as UEs and network nodes configured to perform such methods.
UPDATING CONFIGURATION FOR EARLY DATA TRANSMISSION
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to updating configuration for early data transmission. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, updating configuration for early data transmission is proposed. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device generates records for the early data transmission from the terminal device. The network device transmits the record to the managing device. The managing device updates the configuration for the early data transmission based on the record. In this way, the configurations for the early data transmission can be updated dynamically. The waste on the resources can be avoided and the power at the terminal device can be saved.
HARQ INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS
A HARQ information transmission method and apparatus, to resolve a problem that HARQ information is not fed back in a timely manner. When a first device cannot successfully send first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information on a first time-frequency resource, or a second device cannot successfully receive the first HARQ information on the first time-frequency resource, the first device retransmits the first HARQ information on a second time-frequency resource for transmitting second HARQ information corresponding to second data. First data and the second data may be data with different priorities and/or in different groups. In this way, HARQ retransmission flexibility can be improved, and the first HARQ information is transmitted in a timelier manner, so that a data processing latency is reduced as much as possible.
PUCCH Repetition to Increase the Reliability of PUCCH Transmission
A user equipment (UE) may increase the reliability of transmission of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) by transmitting repeated copies of the PUCCH, according to a repetition pattern spanning one or more slots. In an intra-slot mode, more than one copy may be transmitted within each configured slot, with or without frequency hopping. The number of copies as well as a temporal gap between the transmission of successive copies may be configured by the network. The repetition pattern may or may not be interrupted by slot boundaries. In an inter-slot mode, one copy is transmitted per configured slot. Different copies may be transmitted in different directions, according to a spatial consistency pattern. The UE may perform repeated transmission of PUCCHs to different Transmission-Reception Points (TRPs) using respectively different timing advances and/or transmit power levels.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TRANSMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL DEMODULATION REFERENCE SIGNAL BUNDLING
Example aspects include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication network, comprising receiving, from a base station, configuration information indicating that physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) joint channel estimation (JCE) is enabled for a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions. The aspects further include receiving, from the base station, a plurality of PDCCH transmissions. At least one PDCCH transmission comprises a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) acknowledgement (ACK) request without a corresponding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) grant. Additionally, the aspects further include identifying a base offset according to the at least one PDCCH transmission.

Additionally, the aspects further include transmitting, at a timing offset in relation to the plurality of PDCCH transmissions, a HARQ-ACK.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST (HARQ) CODEBOOK IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
In an example, a User Equipment (UE) is configured with one or more first Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources on a primary cell (PCell) and configured with one or more second PUCCH resources on a secondary cell (SCell). The PCell and the SCell are associated with a PUCCH group. Before a first slot, the UE changes an active uplink (UL) bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell. The cell associated with the changing the active UL BWP is the PCell or the SCell. A first occasion of the PCell is before the changing the active UL BWP. A second occasion of the SCell is before the changing the active UL BWP. The first occasion and the second occasion are associated with the first slot. The UE determines whether or not to include Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) information, associated with the second occasion, in a HARQ codebook based on whether or not the SCell, associated with transmitting the HARQ codebook, is the same as the cell associated with the changing the active UL BWP. The UE transmits, in the first slot and on the SCell, a PUCCH including the HARQ codebook.
