METHOD FOR DETERMINING TIME OF APPLYING MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL MAC SIGNALING AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18350888 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING TIME OF APPLYING MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL MAC SIGNALING AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an application that helps determine the timing of media access control (MAC) signaling in communication technologies. It specifically addresses the situation where a terminal device delays feedback of a HARQ-ACK (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-ACK).

  • The application provides a method for determining the time of applying MAC signaling when a terminal device delays feedback of a HARQ-ACK.
  • The terminal device receives MAC signaling and first indication information, which includes a value indicating whether the terminal device delays feedback of the HARQ-ACK.
  • Based on this information, the terminal device determines the appropriate time to apply the MAC signaling.
  • The goal is to align the understanding of the network device and the terminal device on the timing of MAC signaling, thereby improving communication performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a method for determining a time of applying media access control MAC signaling and an apparatus, and relates to the field of communication technologies, to determine the time of applying the MAC signaling when DCI indicates that a terminal device delays feedback of a HARQ-ACK. In the method, the terminal device receives the MAC signaling. The terminal device receives first indication information, where the first indication information includes a first value for the terminal device to send the HARQ-ACK. The first value indicates whether the terminal device delays feedback of the HARQ-ACK. The terminal device determines the time of applying the MAC signaling. Based on the method, understandings of a network device and the terminal device on the time of applying the MAC signaling can be aligned, thereby improving communication performance.
