Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) Based on Codeblock Groups in New Radio Systems - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18404410 titled 'Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) Based on Codeblock Groups in New Radio Systems

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes embodiments of a communication system involving User Equipment (UE) and Generation Node-B (gNB) for scheduling data transmission on a physical downlink shared channel.

  • UE receives a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that schedules a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) on a component carrier (CC) of multiple CCs.
  • PDCCH includes a total downlink assignment index (DAI) and a counter DAI for HARQ-ACK feedback of the PDSCH.
  • Total DAI indicates the number of CCs and slots for the HARQ-ACK feedback.
  • UE encodes the HARQ-ACK feedback to indicate successful decoding of the PDSCH.
  • Size and position of the HARQ-ACK feedback are determined based on the total DAI and counter DAI.

Potential Applications

  • 5G communication systems
  • Wireless networks

Problems Solved

  • Efficient scheduling of data transmission
  • Reliable feedback mechanism for data decoding

Benefits

  • Improved data transmission efficiency
  • Enhanced reliability in communication systems

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized data transmission in:

  • Telecommunications
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include:

  • Previous methods of scheduling data transmission in wireless communication systems
  • Existing feedback mechanisms for data decoding in communication networks

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices?

The abstract does not mention the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of User Equipment (UE) in mobile devices.

What are the security implications of implementing this communication system?

The abstract does not address the security aspects of the communication system involving User Equipment (UE) and Generation Node-B (gNB).


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are disclosed herein. The UE may receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that schedules a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a slot, and on a component carrier (CC) of a plurality of CCs. The PDCCH may include a total downlink assignment index (DAI) and a counter DAI for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback of the PDSCH. The total DAI may indicate a total number of pairs of CCs and slots for the HARQ-ACK feedback. The UE may encode the HARQ-ACK feedback to include a bit that indicates whether the PDSCH is successfully decoded. A size of the HARQ-ACK feedback may be based on the total DAI, and a position of the bit may be based on the counter DAI.
