PUCCH TRANSMISSIONS WITH MULTICAST HARQ-ACK INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18296887 Titled 'PUCCH TRANSMISSIONS WITH MULTICAST HARQ-ACK INFORMATION'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with multicast hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information. The method involves receiving information for a set of PUCCH resources and first physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) that provide transport blocks (TBs). The method then determines HARQ-ACK information bits associated with the TBs and provides them only when at least one PUCCH resource overlaps in time with a transmission of a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The value of each HARQ-ACK information bit corresponds to positive acknowledgement (ACK). Finally, the method transmits the first PUSCH, which includes the HARQ-ACK information bits when the PUCCH resource overlaps in time with the PUSCH.
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatuses and methods for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with multicast hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information. A method includes receiving information for a set of PUCCH resources and first physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) that provide first transport blocks (TBs). The method further includes determining first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information bits associated with the first TBs and to provide the first HARQ-ACK information bits only when at least one PUCCH resource from the set of PUCCH resources overlaps in time with a transmission of a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). A value for each of the first HARQ-ACK information bits corresponds to positive acknowledgement (ACK). The method further includes transmitting the first PUSCH. The first PUSCH includes the first HARQ-ACK information bits when the at least one PUCCH resource overlaps in time with the first PUSCH.
