A method for transmitting information, includes: transmitting on one carrier wave according to at least one of a preset transmission mode and a transmission mode indicated by a base station eNB when agreed transmission time of two or more physical uplink shared channels PUSCH overlaps.

Method and apparatus for sidelink communication based on feedback

An operation method of a receiving terminal in sidelink communications may comprise: receiving one or more transport blocks (TBs) from a transmitting terminal; generating hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) responses for code block groups (CBGs) included in each of the one or more TBs; selecting one or more HARQ responses from among the HARQ responses based on priorities; and transmitting the one or more HARQ responses to the transmitting terminal through a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource.

Downlink control information and bandwidth part switching in a wireless device

A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages. The RRC messages comprise configuration parameters, of a cell, indicating a first bandwidth part (BWP) and a second BWP. A first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling one or more first uplink resources for a first transmission of a first uplink transport block (TB) is received via the first BWP of the cell. A second DCI is received before the first transmission of the first uplink TB. The second DCI indicates: a switch from the first BWP to the second BWP of the cell; and one or more second uplink resources for a second transmission of a second uplink TB via the second BWP. The first transmission of the first uplink TB is cancelled.

Feedback timing

A wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field indicating a transition of a cell to a dormant state and a second field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing. The wireless device transmits, in response to the DCI indicating the transition and via a physical uplink control channel resource, a positive acknowledgement of a reception of the DCI at a time interval based on the HARQ feedback timing.

20180006785 · 2018-01-04 ·

Provided is a wireless communication device. A PHICH reception unit determines whether a received signal in a PHICH region is an ACK signal or a NACK signal. When doing so, the PHICH reception unit does not receive a PHICH in a subframe in which a terminal monitors an E-PDCCH. A control signal reception unit outputs a retransmission prompting signal to a signal allocation unit when the signal outputted from the PHICH reception unit is a NACK signal and when a UL grant was not detected. Meanwhile, when a UL grant was detected, the control signal reception unit outputs the detected UL grant to the signal allocation unit. The signal allocation unit maps the transmission signal in accordance with the retransmission prompting signal and the UL grant and transmits the transmission signal from a wireless transmission unit.

UPLINK FEEDBACK METHODS FOR OPERATING WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF CARRIERS

A method and apparatus for uplink feedback for operating with a large number of carriers are disclosed herein. A method in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes receiving a plurality of transport blocks over a set of a plurality of configured carriers, generating hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgment (ACK) feedback for the transport blocks and determining a number of HARQ-ACK feedback bits to use for the HARQ-ACK feedback. Further, the WTRU may apply, to the HARQ-ACK feedback bits, Reed-Muller coding on a condition that the number of HARQ-ACK feedback bits is less than or equal to a threshold or convolutional coding on a condition that the number of HARQ-ACK feedback bits is greater than a threshold. The WTRU may then transmit the encoded HARQ-ACK feedback bits. In addition, the WTRU may conditionally append cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits onto the HARQ-ACK feedback bits, and encode and transmit the CRC bits.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING COMMUNICATION WHEN A SERVING BEAM BECOMES INVALID IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
20180006770 · 2018-01-04 ·

A method for a wireless communications system is disclosed. In one example, user equipment (UE) maintains at least one serving beam, and uses a serving beam to perform an uplink (UL) transmission of data. The data is stored in an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (UL HARQ) buffer. When there is a failure to track the serving beam, a beam recovery procedure is initialized. After successful completion of the beam recovery procedure, the UE retransmits the data stored in the UL HARQ buffer. The UE prevents the data from being flushed from the UL HARQ buffer when the failure to track the serving beam occurs, so that the data can be retransmitted.
