Abstract
A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process method for nonterrestrial networks. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a first downlink control information (DCI), the first DCI including a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID); calculating a first HARQ process number based on the first HARQ process ID and on a slot number associated with the first DCI; and processing a first data block via a HARQ process associated with the first HARQ process number.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a first downlink control information (DCI), the first DCI including a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID);
- calculating a first HARQ process number based on the first HARQ process ID and on a slot number associated with the first DCI;
- and
- processing a first data block via a HARQ process associated with the first HARQ process number.
A system comprising:
- a user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:
- a radio;
- and
- a processing circuit,
- the processing circuit being configured to:
- receive a first downlink control information (DCI), the first DCI including a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID);
- calculate a first HARQ process number based on the first HARQ process ID and on a slot number associated with the first DCI;
- and
- process a first data block via a HARQ process associated with the first HARQ process number.
A system comprising:
- a user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:
- a radio;
- and
- means for processing,
- the means for processing being configured to:
- receive a first downlink control information (DCI) via a slot of a frame, the first DCI including a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process indicator;
- calculate a first HARQ process number based on the first HARQ process ID and on a slot position of the first DCI in the frame;
- and
- receive and decode a first data block via a HARQ process associated with the first HARQ process number.
