User equipment provision of enhanced capability information for HARQ processing

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to indicating capabilities of a user equipment to a base station while performing cellular communication. A user equipment (UE) may transmit capability information to a base station. The capability information may comprise a maximum transport block size (TBS) per transmission time interval (TTI) and an associated processing delay of the UE for a reference subcarrier spacing. Alternatively, the capability information may comprise a maximum throughput and associated processing delay of the UE. The base station may determine at least one of a maximum TBS per TTI or a number of parallel hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes to utilize in subsequent communications with the UE based on the capability information and a subcarrier spacing to be used for the subsequent communications.
