Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for HARQ process number indication are disclosed. A UE may: receive, from a BS, a DCI format scheduling a plurality of physical data channels on a plurality of cells, wherein the DCI format includes a field jointly indicating a plurality of HARQ process numbers of the plurality of physical data channels, wherein each of the plurality of HARQ process numbers corresponds to one of the plurality of physical data channels; and determine the plurality of HARQ process numbers based on the field. The UE may receive or transmit the plurality of physical data channels based on the plurality of HARQ process numbers.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- receive, from a base station, a downlink control information (DCI) format scheduling a plurality of physical data channels on a plurality of cells, wherein the DCI format includes a field jointly indicating a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process numbers of the plurality of physical data channels, wherein each of the plurality of HARQ process numbers corresponds to one of the plurality of physical data channels;
- determine the plurality of HARQ process numbers based on the field;
- and
- at least one of:
- receive, from the base station, the plurality of physical data channels based on the plurality of HARQ process numbers in response to the DCI format scheduling the plurality of physical data channels for downlink (DL) transmission;
- or
- transmit, to the base station, the plurality of physical data channels based on the plurality of HARQ process numbers in response to the DCI format scheduling the plurality of physical data channels for uplink (UL) transmission.
