Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions with repetitions. A method for operating a user equipment includes receiving first information indicating a configuration for directions of symbols and receiving second information indicating whether a repetition of a transmission is counted when the repetition of the transmission is canceled. The method further includes determining that a first repetition of the transmission includes a symbol with downlink direction based on the first information determining a counter number of repetitions based on the second information, and canceling the first repetition of the transmission.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive:
- first information indicating a configuration for directions of symbols, and
- second information indicating whether a repetition of a transmission for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is counted when the repetition is canceled, wherein the PUCCH includes an uplink control information (UCI) payload;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine:
- that a first repetition of the PUCCH transmission includes a symbol with a downlink direction based on the first information, and
- a counter number of repetitions based on the second information,
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to cancel the first repetition of the PUCCH transmission
- wherein all repetitions of the PUCCH transmission are over a same number of symbols when the UCI payload is larger than a predetermined number of bits, and
- wherein a second repetition of the PUCCH transmission is over a different number of symbols than a third repetition of the PUCCH transmission when the UCI payload is not larger than the predetermined number of bits.
A base station (BS) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit:
- first information indicating a configuration for directions of symbols, and
- second information indicating whether a repetition of a transmission for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is counted when the repetition is canceled, wherein the PUCCH includes an uplink control information (UCI) payload;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine:
- that a first repetition of the PUCCH transmission includes a symbol with a downlink direction based on the first information, and
- a counter number of repetitions based on the second information,
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to cancel a reception for the first repetition of the PUCCH transmission
- wherein all repetitions of the PUCCH transmission are over a same number of symbols when the UCI payload is larger than a predetermined number of bits, and
- wherein a second repetition of the PUCCH transmission is over a different number of symbols than a third repetition of the PUCCH transmission when the UCI payload is not larger than the predetermined number of bits.
A method comprising:
- receiving first information indicating a configuration for directions of symbols;
- receiving second information indicating whether a repetition of a transmission for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is counted when the repetition is canceled, wherein the PUCCH includes an uplink control information (UCI) payload;
- determining that a first repetition of the PUCCH transmission includes a symbol with downlink direction based on the first information;
- determining a counter number of repetitions based on the second information;
- and
- canceling the first repetition of the PUCCH transmission,
- wherein all repetitions of the PUCCH transmission are over a same number of symbols when the UCI payload is larger than a predetermined number of bits, and
- wherein a second repetition of the PUCCH transmission is over a different number of symbols than a third repetition of the PUCCH transmission when the UCI payload is not larger than the predetermined number of bits.
