METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST-ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RETRANSMISSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17952792 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST-ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RETRANSMISSION
Simplified Explanation
Methods and apparatuses are provided in a wireless communication system for performing a hybrid automatic repeat and request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) retransmission. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- Configuration information for HARQ-ACK retransmission is received from a base station (BS) through higher layer signaling.
- Downlink control information (DCI) is received from the BS.
- An offset for the HARQ-ACK retransmission is determined based on the value of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field in the DCI, using the received configuration information.
- The HARQ-ACK retransmission is carried out on a specific slot identified based on the calculated offset.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and satellite communication systems.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient HARQ-ACK retransmission: The invention addresses the need for an optimized method to perform HARQ-ACK retransmissions in wireless communication systems. 2. Accurate offset determination: By using the MCS field value and configuration information, the offset for HARQ-ACK retransmission can be accurately identified, ensuring reliable and timely retransmission.
Benefits
1. Improved reliability: The technology ensures that HARQ-ACK retransmissions are performed correctly, enhancing the reliability of wireless communication systems. 2. Efficient resource utilization: By identifying the offset based on the MCS field value, the invention optimizes the use of resources for HARQ-ACK retransmissions, leading to improved overall system efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses are provided in a wireless communication system. Configuration information regarding a hybrid automatic repeat and request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) retransmission is received from a base station (BS) via higher layer signaling. Downlink control information (DCI) is received from the BS. An offset for the HARQ-ACK retransmission is identified as a value of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field included in the DCI, based on the configuration information. The HARQ-ACK retransmission is performed on a slot identified based on the offset.
