METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST (HARQ)

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest Acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK, feedback. In one embodiment, a method implemented in a wireless device, WD, includes receiving, from a network node, a first Downlink Control Information, DCI, scheduling a physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH, and receiving, from the network node, a second DCI, the second DCI comprising a HARQ-ACK feedback request trigger triggering a HARQ-ACK feedback for the PDSCH scheduled by the first DCI. In another embodiment, a method implemented in a network node includes transmitting a first Downlink Control Information, DCI, scheduling the PDSCH, and transmitting a second DCI, the second DCI having a HARQ-ACK feedback request trigger triggering a HARQ-ACK feedback for the PDSCH scheduled by the first DCI.
