Extensive Summary of Agreements by Topic
Multi-Cell PUSCH/PDSCH Scheduling with a Single DCI
- Scheduling Parameters:
- Common FDRA and MCS are applied to PUSCHs/PDSCHs on a
cell as in Rel-16/17 multi-PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling.
- HARQ process number is incremented for subsequent
PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the cell.
- NDI Field Options in DCI Format 0_3/1_3:
- Option 1: Number of bits equals the maximum number of
schedulable PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the cell.
- Option 2: Number of bits equals the actual number of
scheduled PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the cell.
- Option 3: One bit NDI for a single scheduled PUSCH/PDSCH;
otherwise, Option 1 applies.
- RV Field Options in DCI Format 0_3/1_3:
- Option 1: Number of bits based on maximum schedulable
PUSCHs/PDSCHs and RV configuration.
- Option 2: Number of bits based on actual scheduled
PUSCHs/PDSCHs and RV configuration.
- Option 3: One bit RV for a single scheduled PUSCH/PDSCH;
otherwise, Option 1 applies.
- TDRA Field in DCI Format 0_3/1_3:
- Indicates one row from a joint TDRA table, with each row
containing one TDRA index for each BWP of each cell.
- HARQ-ACK Bundling:
- Time-domain HARQ-ACK bundling is supported.
- Scheduling Scenarios:
- Support for scheduling up to two different SCS types and
various combinations of FR1 and FR2 cells.
- Payload Size Limitation:
- Maximum number of PUSCHs/PDSCHs for a scheduled cell by
DCI format 0_3/1_3 is 8.
- Payload size exceeding 140 bits is not supported in
Rel-19.
- HARQ-ACK Codebook:
- Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook is generated by concatenating
two sub-codebooks:
- First sub-codebook for single PDSCH scheduling or single
cell scheduling with nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups = 1.
- Second sub-codebook for multi-cell scheduling or single
cell scheduling with nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups > 1.
- HARQ-ACK Information Bits:
- For the second sub-codebook, the number of HARQ-ACK
information bits is determined by RRC configuration or explicitly
configured.
- UL-SCH Field:
- 1 bit UL-SCH field is always present in DCI format 0_3.
- NDI/RV Indication Placement:
- NDI and RV bits are placed in LSBs based on SLIV position
in the TDRA row, with padding bits in MSBs.
Low Band Carrier Aggregation via Switching
- Semi-Static Configuration:
- Support semi-static switching patterns based on
UE-specific RRC configuration between:
- Case 1: Tx/Rx on FDD carrier 1 and no Rx on SDL carrier
2.
- Case 2: Rx on SDL carrier 2 and no Tx/Rx on FDD carrier
1.
- Carrier and SCS Details:
- FDD carrier 1 is PCell, SDL carrier 2 is SCell.
- SCS is 15 kHz on both carriers.
- Switching Pattern Restrictions:
- Same slot cannot contain symbols configured for both FDD
and SDL carriers.
- Switching pattern and gap are based on PCell downlink
timing.
- Bitmap Design for Switching Pattern:
- NW configures periodicity and bitmap of P bits, where:
- ‘0’ indicates FDD carrier 1.
- ‘1’ indicates SDL carrier 2.
- Restriction on maximum X switches within Y slots.
- Switching Gap Location:
- For SDL to FDD switch, gap is at SDL carrier.
- For FDD to SDL switch, options include:
- Alt 1: Gap at FDD carrier.
- Alt 2: NW configures gap location.
- Alt 3: Gap at SDL carrier.
- Switching Gap Duration:
- RRC-configured duration, different for FDD to SDL and SDL
to FDD switches.
- NW ensures gap covers switching period and UL TA (if
needed).
- Periodic Switching Pattern:
- Semi-static switching pattern is periodic with a
periodicity of 40 ms.
General Agreements
- Higher Layer Signaling:
- Rapporteur to provide initial input on higher layer
signaling under agenda item 9.12.
- Future Discussions:
- Placeholder for low band carrier aggregation discussions
starting in 2025.Q2.
