Abstract
According to some example embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a solution for Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) retransmission indication. In the solution, the terminal device receives, from the network device, downlink control information (DCI) comprising a transport block (TB) identifier. The terminal device compares the received TB identifier with a stored TB identifier. Then, the terminal device processes data based on a result of the comparison. The data comprise uplink data to be transmitted based on an uplink grant comprised in the DCI or downlink data received based on a downlink assignment comprised in the DCI.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a network device, downlink control information comprising a transport block identifier;
- compare the transport block identifier with a stored transport block identifier;
- and
- process data based on a result of the comparison, wherein the data comprise uplink data to be transmitted based on an uplink grant comprised in the downlink control information or downlink data to be received based on a downlink assignment comprised in the downlink control information.
