Abstract
Systems, devices and methods are described that support of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions for reduced-bandwidth user equipments (UEs). One method performed by a UE includes receiving configuration information to be utilized to communicate with a base station, the configuration information including information indicating whether frequency hopping, associated with transmission of control information via PUCCH, is enabled or disabled; and transmitting control information via the PUCCH based on whether the frequency hopping is enabled or disabled. Other methods, devices, and systems for supporting PUCCH transmission for reduced-bandwidth UEs are included.
Claims19
A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving configuration information to be utilized to communicate with a base station, the configuration information including information indicating whether frequency hopping, associated with transmission of control information via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), is enabled or disabled;
- and
- transmitting control information via the PUCCH based on whether the frequency hopping is enabled or disabled.
A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving configuration information to be utilized to communicate with a base station, the configuration information including information indicating a first size or a first location associated with a first initial bandwidth part (BWP) configured for the wireless device and a second size or a second location associated with a second initial BWP configured for another wireless device;
- and
- transmitting, by selectively utilizing frequency hopping, control information via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) based on the first size of the first initial BWP and the second size of the second initial BWP or based on the first location of the first initial BWP and the second location of the second initial BWP.
A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
- transmitting configuration information to be utilized by a wireless device to communicate with the base station, the configuration information including information indicating whether frequency hopping, associated with transmission of control information via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), is enabled or disabled;
- and
- receiving control information via the PUCCH based on whether the frequency hopping is enabled or disabled.
A wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving configuration information to be utilized to communicate with a base station, the configuration information including information indicating whether frequency hopping, associated with transmission of control information via a physical uplink control channel, is enabled or disabled;
- and
- transmitting control information via the PUCCH based on whether the frequency hopping is enabled or disabled;
- and
- power supply circuitry configured to supply power to the wireless device.
