A terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention may: receive first DCI including a first HARQ process ID field and a first NDI field on the basis of a first RNTI for a terminal group; receive a first PDSCH scheduled by the first DCI; receive second DCI on the basis of a second RNTI dedicated to the terminal in a state in which a data block of the first PDSCH has not been successfully decoded; and receive a second PDSCH scheduled by the second DCI, wherein a second HARQ process ID field included in the second DCI indicates the same HARQ process as the first HARQ process ID field included in the first DCI; and, on the basis of the fact that a value of a second NDI field included in the second DCI is the same as the value of the first NDI field included in the first DCI, a data block of the second PDSCH may be decoded on the assumption that the second PDSCH includes retransmission for the data block of the first PDSCH that has not been successfully decoded, notwithstanding that the second RNTI is different from the first RNTI.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may attempt to connect to a base station using a random access procedure. During the random access procedure, the base station may transmit control information and data associated with a random access response (RAR) during an RAR window. The UE may identify a channel quality and may transmit a random access request of a first type to the base station. The base station may receive the random access request and transmit repeating instances of the control information or the data, or both, based on identifying that the random access request is of the first type. The UE may use soft-combining to increase the likelihood of successfully decoding the control information and the data associated with the RAR, and likewise may increase the likelihood of successfully receiving the RAR from the base station.

A random access method, a base station, an UE and a device with a storage function are disclosed. The random access method includes: the base station receiving a first message transmitted by the UE, the first message including a preamble message and a signal message; decoding the preamble message and the signal message respectively; if the decoding of preamble message is succeeded, but the decoding of signal message fails, the base station transmits a second message to the UE, and storing the signal message of decoding failure, the second message configured to request the UE to retransmit the signal message; receiving the third message transmitted by the UE, the third message including the signal message; using a chase combine mechanism to decode the third message according to the stored signal message in the first message. The present disclosure save time and improve the efficiency of random access.

Techniques are disclosed relating to downlink control information for wireless communications. In some embodiments, the downlink control information includes code block group information that indicates which code block groups are transmitted and soft buffer handling information that indicates whether to flush previously-determined soft bits that correspond to one or more code block groups.

A user equipment (UE) may receive a first transmission including encoded bits of a data packet and a second transmission including some or all of the encoded bits of the data packet. The first transmission associated with a first limited buffer rate matching (LBRM) configuration and the second transmission may be associated with a second LBRM configuration. The UE may process the first transmission and the second transmission based on the first LBRM associated with the first transmission being different than the second LBRM associated with the second transmission.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Linking multiple search space sets for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition may be enabled in a system. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a configured search space set association from a base station. The association may indicate, to the UE, a configuration between a first PDCCH candidate and a second PDCCH candidate. The first PDCCH candidate may correspond to a first search space set, while the second PDCCH candidate may correspond to a second search space set. The UE may monitor the first and second search space set based on the configuration. The UE may combine the first PDCCH candidate with the second PDCCH candidate monitored in the first and second search space set based on capabilities of the UE and the configuration. The UE may decode the combined PDCCH candidates along with individual PDCCH candidates.
