Hybrid automatic repeat request processes for sub-band full duplex

A wireless communication device operable as user equipment (a UE), comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory coupled to the one or more processors;
• and
• a transceiver coupled to the one or more processors;
• wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the UE to:
• receive, via the transceiver, in a first slot associated with a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, a first downlink slot offset parameter, the first HARQ process corresponding to a frame structure that includes one or more subband full duplex (SB-FD) slots and one or more time division duplex (TDD) slots;
• receive, via the transceiver, a first transmission in a second slot associated with the first HARQ process that is offset from the first slot associated with the first HARQ process by one or more slots corresponding to the first downlink slot offset parameter;
• and
• transmit, via the transceiver, in a third slot associated with the first HARQ process that is offset from the second slot associated with the first HARQ process by one or more slots corresponding to a first HARQ timing parameter, first HARK-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information indicating whether the UE successfully decoded the first transmission.

A wireless communication device operable as user equipment (a UE), comprising:

• means for receiving, in a first slot associated with a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, a first downlink slot offset parameter, the first HARQ process corresponding to a frame structure that includes one or more subband full duplex (SB-FD) slots and one or more time division duplex (TDD) slots;
• means for receiving a first transmission in a second slot associated with the first HARQ process that is offset from the first slot associated with the first HARQ process by one or more slots corresponding to the first downlink slot offset parameter;
• and
• means for transmitting, in a third slot associated with the first HARQ process that is offset from the second slot associated with the first HARQ process by one or more slots corresponding to a first HARQ timing parameter, first HARQ-ACK information indicating whether the UE successfully decoded the first transmission.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, operable by user equipment (a UE), comprising code for causing the UE to:

• receive, via a transceiver, in a first slot associated with a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, a first downlink slot offset parameter, the first HARQ process corresponding to a frame structure that includes one or more subband full duplex (SB-FD) slots and one or more time division duplex (TDD) slots;
• receive, via the transceiver, a first transmission in a second slot associated with the first HARQ process that is offset from the first slot associated with the first HARQ process by one or more slots corresponding to the first downlink slot offset parameter;
• and
• transmit, via the transceiver, in a third slot associated with the first HARQ process that is offset from the second slot associated with the first HARQ process by one or more slots corresponding to a first HARQ timing parameter, first HARQ-ACK information indicating whether the UE successfully decoded the first transmission.
