From Wednesday session

Agreement

For multiple PUSCHs/PDSCHs scheduled on a cell by a DCI format 0_3/1_3,

·       Common FDRA is applied to the PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the cell as Rel-16/17 multi-PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling.

·       Common MCS is applied to the PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the cell as Rel-16/17 multi-PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling.

·       HARQ process number indicated for the cell is applied to the first scheduled PUSCH/PDSCH and then incremented by 1 for subsequent PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the cell (with modulo operation if needed) as Rel-16/17 multi-PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling.

Agreement

In DCI format 0_3/1_3, for each block of NDI field, consider the following options:

·       Option 1: the number of bits is equal to the maximum number of schedulable PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the corresponding cell by the DCI format 0_3/1_3.

·       Option 2: the number of bits is equal to the actual number of scheduled PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the corresponding cell by the DCI format 0_3/1_3.

·       Option 3: if the number of scheduled PUSCH/PDSCH is 1, then one bit NDI is applied; otherwise, option 1 is applied.

Agreement

In DCI format 0_3/1_3, for each block of RV field, consider the following options:

·       Option 1: the number of bits is determined based on the maximum number of schedulable PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the corresponding cell by the DCI format 0_3/1_3 and number of bits for RV configured for the corresponding cell.

·       Option 2: the number of bits is determined based on the actual number of scheduled PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the corresponding cell by the DCI format 0_3/1_3 and number of bits for RV configured for the corresponding cell.

·       Option 3: if the number of scheduled PUSCH/PDSCH is 1, then option 2 is applied; otherwise, option 1 is applied.

Agreement

A single TDRA field in DCI format 0_3/1_3 indicates one row from a joint TDRA table.

·       Each row in the table contains only one TDRA index for each BWP of each cell within the set of cells. Each TDRA index points to one or multiple time domain resource allocations in the TDRA table applicable for multi-PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling by DCI format 0_3/1_3 for the corresponding cell.

From Monday session

Agreement

 

Agreement

For the second sub-codebook, the number of HARQ-ACK information bits for each DCI format 1_3 is equal to M.

 

Agreement

For NDI indication in DCI format 0_3/1_3 for a TB,

·       Option 1 is adopted.

 

Agreement

For RV indication in DCI format 0_3/1_3 for a TB,

·       Option 1 is adopted.

 

Agreement

For multi-PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling using a DCI format 0_3/1_3, 1 bit RV indication is determined according to Table 7.3.1.2.3-1 of TS 38.212.

·       Note: This is aligned with Rel-18 DCI format 0_3/1_3 for cells configured with 1 bit RV by numberOfBitsForRV-DCI-0-3/1-3.

Agreement

For the second sub-codebook, the HARQ-ACK information bits for a DCI format 1_3 are ordered firstly according to same ordering as in Rel-17 multi-PDSCHs scheduling for PDSCH receptions on a same serving cell, then according to ascending order of associated serving cell indexes.

 

 

R1-2501375         Feature lead summary#2 on multi-cell scheduling with a single DCI       Moderator (Lenovo)

From Tuesday session

Agreement

For Type-1C fields in DCI format 0_3, when the TDRA field indicates more than one scheduled PUSCHs on the scheduled cell with the smallest cell index:

·       The CSI request field applies to the PUSCH determined based on Rel-17 multi-PUSCH scheduling on same serving cell.

·       Note for background: When the TDRA field of DCI format 0_3 indicates only one scheduled PUSCH on the scheduled cell with the smallest cell index, DCI interpretation and UE procedure is same as in Rel-18.

Working Assumption

For a DCI format 1_3 with fields repurposed for SCell dormancy indication and scheduling one or more PDSCHs, if TDRA field indicates multiple SLIVs for the serving cell with smallest serving cell index with invalid FDRA, the HARQ-ACK information bit for SCell dormancy indication is ACK for the first SLIV and followed by NACK bits for the remaining SLIVs.

R1-2503037        Feature lead summary#1 on multi-cell scheduling with a single DCI Moderator (Lenovo)

From Monday session

Conclusion

All bits in the NDI of TB1 and RV of TB1 corresponding to the cell with smallest serving cell index with invalid FDRA are used for SCell dormancy indication.

 

Conclusion

For a DCI format 1_3 with fields repurposed for SCell dormancy indication and without scheduling any PDSCH, one bit of ACK is generated for SCell dormancy indication and included in the first sub-codebook regardless of the number of SLIVs indicated by the DCI format 1_3 for the cell with fields repurposed for SCell dormancy indication.

 

Agreement

·        For a DCI format 1_3 with fields repurposed for SCell dormancy indication and scheduling one or more PDSCHs, if TDRA field indicates multiple SLIVs for the serving cell with smallest serving cell index with invalid FDRA and nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is not provided for the serving cell, the HARQ-ACK information bit for SCell dormancy indication is ACK for the first SLIV and followed by NACK bits for the remaining SLIVs.

·        For a DCI format 1_3 with fields repurposed for SCell dormancy indication and scheduling one or more PDSCHs, if TDRA field indicates multiple SLIVs for the serving cell with smallest serving cell index with invalid FDRA and nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is provided for the serving cell, the HARQ-ACK information bit for SCell dormancy indication is ACK for the first TBG, and followed by NACK bits for the remaining TBGs, if any.

·        Note: Related working assumption made in RAN1#120 meeting does not need to be confirmed.

 

R1-2503038        Feature lead summary#2 on multi-cell scheduling with a single DCI Moderator (Lenovo)

From Wednesday session

Agreement

For determining the number M of HARQ-ACK information bits for each DCI format 1_3 corresponding to the second HARQ-ACK sub-codebook in a PUCCH transmission:

·        M is a maximum number over all the configured cell set(s) S in a PUCCH group of the sum of  (if nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is not provided for a serving cell c) or  (if nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is provided for the serving cell c) across serving cells of a respective cell set S that can be co-scheduled by a DCI format 1_3;

o        is the maximum number of SLIVs amongst all rows of the multi-PDSCH TDRA table configured on the active BWP of the serving cell c;

o        is the maximum number of transport block groups (TBGs) for first TBs (and for second TBs, if configured) for the serving cell c if harq-ACKSpatialBundlingPUCCH is not provided, or the maximum number of PDSCH reception groups on the serving cell c if harq-ACKSpatialBundlingPUCCH is provided, and is provided by RRC parameter nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups;

o        is the value of maxNrofCodeWordsScheduledByDCI for serving cell c when harq-ACKSpatialBundlingPUCCH is not provided; otherwise .

9.12.1     Multi-cell PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI

Please refer to RP-242904 for detailed scope of the WI for Multi-Carrier Enhancements for NR Phase 3.

 

Agreement

        Below TP for TS38.300 is adopted for Rel-19 MCE.

10.11        Multi-cell scheduling by a single DCI

Multi-cell scheduling by a single DCI allows the PDCCH of a serving cell to schedule PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on one or more serving cells with the single DCI but with the following restrictions:

-    When a serving cell is configured with a PDCCH which schedules PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on a cell set, the PUSCH/PDSCH on serving cells in the cell set is always scheduled by a PDCCH on the serving cell;

-    When SpCell is configured with a PDCCH which schedules PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on serving cells in a cell set, that SpCell's PDSCH and PUSCH cannot be scheduled by a PDCCH on an SCell;

-    When an SCell is configured with a PDCCH which schedules PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on serving cells in a cell set, SpCell is not included in the cell set;

-    The scheduling PDCCH and the scheduled PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) can use the same or different numerologies;

-    The co-scheduled PDSCH(s) with a PDCCH can use the same or different numerologies;

-    The co-scheduled PUSCH(s) with a PDCCH can use the same or different numerologies.

        Send an LS to RAN2 to convey the above TP.

 

Agreement

        For a cell within a cell set configured to be schedulable by a DCI format 0_3, the network does not configure pusch-TimeDomainAllocationListForMultiPUSCH-DCI-0-3 simultaneously with the numberOfSlotsTBoMS-r17 and/or pusch-AggregationFactor.

        Add above to RRC parameter list.

9.12.22     Low band carrier aggregation via switching

Please refer to RP-250247 for detailed scope of the WI for low band carrier aggregation via switching.

 

Agreement

For Rel-19 low NR band carrier aggregation via switching, support configuration of only one switching pattern to a UE based on UE-specific RRC configuration.

 

Agreement

For RRC configuration of semi-static switching pattern in Rel-19 low NR band carrier aggregation via switching, regarding the location of the switching gap for switching from FDD carrier to SDL carrier, only support the switching gap is located at the “switch from” carrier, i.e., FDD carrier.

·        Switching gap ends at the end of the last slot on the “switch from” carrier

 

 

Agreement

Draft LS R1-2504868 is endorsed in principle.

 

Agreement

Final LS R1-2504869 is endorsed.

 

Agreement

·        For Rel-19 low NR band carrier aggregation via switching, in terms of the collision handling

o   The following cases for collision handling are specified where UL TA is assumed to be 0 for the determination of overlapping. The UL TA =0 assumption only applies to the UL transmission configured by higher layer

§  Collision 1: If a UE is configured by higher layers to transmit a PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS in a set of symbols of an UL slot on the FDD carrier that overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the switching gap, the UE does not transmit the PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS

§  Collision 2: If a UE is configured by higher layers to transmit a PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS in a set of symbols of an UL slot on the FDD carrier that overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the DL slot indicated as SDL carrier, the UE does not transmit the PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS

§  Collision 3: If a UE is configured by higher layers to receive a PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS in a set of symbols of a DL slot on the SDL carrier that overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the switching gap, the UE does not receive the PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS.

§  Collision 4: If a UE is configured by higher layers to receive a PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS in a set of symbols of a DL slot on the SDL carrier that overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the DL slot indicated as FDD carrier, the UE does not receive the PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS

§  Collision 5: If a UE is configured by higher layers to receive a PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS in a set of symbols of a DL slot on the FDD carrier that overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the switching gap, the UE does not receive the PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS.

§  Collision 6: If a UE is configured by higher layers to receive a PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS in a set of symbols of a DL slot on the FDD carrier that overlaps, even partially, with the set of symbols of the DL slot indicated as SDL carrier, the UE does not receive the PDCCH, PDSCH, PRS or CSI-RS

o   For the other cases, i.e., DL and UL signals/channels scheduled/triggered by DCI

§  A UE is not expected any scheduling/triggering from network that will lead to above collisions

·        Except that the PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS transmission that overlapped with the switching gap on SDL carrier when the SDL carrier switches to FDD carrier is not considered as collision

·        UE expects that the switching gap configured by the NW for SDL carrier to FDD carrier switching covers at least the switching period as in RAN4 LS (R1-2501702) and UL TA
