ENHANCED HYBRID AUTOMATIC RETRANSMISSION REQUEST (HARQ) FOR SEMI-PERSISTENT SCHEDULED (SPS) DATA TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

A device of a New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE), a method and a machine readable medium to implement the method. The device includes a Radio Frequency (RF) interface, and processing circuitry coupled to the RF interface, the processing circuitry to: decode a downlink (DL) communication from a NR evolved NodeB (gNodeB), the DL communication including DL Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) assignments for respective DL SPS transmissions from the gNodeB, the DL communication further including a SPS Configuration (SPS-Config) parameter, the SPS-Config parameter including information on a symbol-level periodicity of the DL SPS transmissions from the gNodeB; determining the symbol-level periodicity of the DL SPS transmissions from the SPS-Config parameter; and decoding the DL SPS transmissions based on a determination of the symbol-level periodicity of the DL SPS assignments.
