R1-2008033         Updated NR MBS work plan           CMCC

8.12.1     Mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs

R1-2008034        Discussion on group scheduling mechanisms           CMCC

Group scheduling mechanism:

·        Proposal 1. For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, define following two PTM schemes only for discussion purpose.

o   PTM scheme 1: For PTM transmission for UEs in the same MBS group, use group-common PDCCH with CRC scrambled by group-common RNTI to schedule group-common PDSCH which is scrambled with the same group-common RNTI. This scheme can also be called group-common PDCCH based group scheduling scheme.

o   PTM scheme 2: For PTM transmission for UEs in the same MBS group, use UE-specific PDCCH with CRC scrambled by UE-specific RNTI (e.g., C-RNTI) to schedule group-common PDSCH which is scrambled with group-common RNTI. This scheme can also be called UE-specific PDCCH based group scheduling scheme.

·        Proposal 2. For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, the configured common frequency resource for group-common PDSCH is confined within UE’s dedicated BWP, and the common frequency resource is configured per DL BWP.

·        Proposal 3. For RRC_CONNECTED UEs and PTM scheme 1, if the common frequency resource is configured for the group-common PDSCH, the CORESET for the group-common PDCCH should be configured in the common frequency resource, and the FRDA field of group-common PDCCH is determined based on the common frequency resource instead of UE’s active DL BWP.

·        Proposal 4. For PTM scheme 1, dedicated physical layer parameters for group-common PDSCH e.g., TDRA table, DMRS configuration, etc., can be configured under the configuration of common frequency resource.

·        Proposal 5. Further discuss whether more than one common frequency resource can be configured per DL BWP.

·        Proposal 6. For PTM scheme 1, USS is preferred for group-common PDCCH monitoring, but group-common RNTI value can be used in  for CCE indexes calculation to guarantee UEs in the same MBS group receiving the same PDCCH.

·        Proposal 7. For PTM scheme 1, both fallback DCI format 1_0 and non-fallback DCI format 1_1/1_2 could be considered with new interpretations.

·        Proposal 8. Keep the “3+1” DCI size budget as in Rel-15/16 when PTM transmission is enabled.

·        Proposal 9. For PTM scheme 1, decide whether the DCI size associated with group-common RNTI (G-RNTI) should be counted in the DCI size budget associated with C-RNTI or counted in the DCI size budget associated with all RNTIs.

·        Proposal 10. For PTM scheme 1, keep the same maximum number of monitored PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs per slot per serving cell as in Rel-15 when R17 NR MBS is enabled.

·        Proposal 11. For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, support PTM scheme 2 for NR MBS, i.e., UE-specific PDCCH with CRC scrambled by UE-specific RNTI to schedule group-common PDSCH scrambled with group-common RNTI.

·        Proposal 12. The common frequency resource for group-common PDSCH can be optionally configured for PTM scheme 2. If type 0 frequency domain resource allocation is used, the RBG size and RBG numbering for FDRA indication in the UE-specific DCI are determined based on the size of common frequency resource instead of UE’s active BWP.

·        Proposal 13. For PTM scheme 2, dedicated physical layer parameters for group-common PDSCH e.g., TDRA table, DMRS configuration, etc., can be configured under the configuration of common frequency resource.

·        Proposal 14. For PTM scheme 2, non-fallback DCI format 1_1/1_2 could be considered, and one additional DCI field is defined to differentiate that the scheduled PDSCH’s scrambling initialization is based on UE-specific RNTI or group-common RNTI.

·        Proposal 15. For PTM scheme 2, keep the same maximum number of monitored PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs per slot per serving cell as in Rel-15 when R17 NR MBS is enabled.

·        Proposal 16. For NR MBS, if the initial transmission is based on PTM scheme 1, support that the re-transmission can be based on PTM scheme 1, PTM scheme 2 or PTP.

·        Proposal 17. For NR MBS, if the initial transmission is based on PTM scheme 2, support that the re-transmission can be based on PTM scheme 2 or PTP.

Simultaneous operation with unicast:

·        Proposal 18. For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, support TDM between unicast PDSCH and group-common PDSCH in a slot based on UE capability.

·        Proposal 19. For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, support TDM between multiple group-common PDSCHs in a slot based on UE capability.

·        Proposal 20. For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, support TDM or FDM between unicast PDSCH(s) and multiple TDMed group-common PDSCHs in a slot based on UE capability.

·        Proposal 21. Further discuss whether to support FDM between multiple group-common PDSCHs in a slot for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.

·        Proposal 22. Further discuss the PDSCH prioritization rule when PTM PDSCH is partially or fully overlapped in time in non-overlapping PRBs with another SI-RNTI PDSCH in one slot.

CA related issues:

·        Proposal 23. Further discuss whether to consider the two typical CA cases in section 4.1 for R17 NR MBS.

Decision: The document is noted.

R1-2009504        Summary#2 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

Decisions from GTW sessions,

Agreements: For convenience of discussion, consider the following clarification as RAN1 common understanding.

·        PTP transmission: For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, use UE-specific PDCCH with CRC scrambled by UE-specific RNTI (e.g., C-RNTI) to schedule UE-specific PDSCH which is scrambled with the same UE-specific RNTI.

·        PTM transmission scheme 1: For RRC_CONNECTED UEs in the same MBS group, use group-common PDCCH with CRC scrambled by group-common RNTI to schedule group-common PDSCH which is scrambled with the same group-common RNTI. This scheme can also be called group-common PDCCH based group scheduling scheme.

·        PTM transmission scheme 2: For RRC_CONNECTED UEs in the same MBS group, use UE-specific PDCCH with CRC scrambled by UE-specific RNTI (e.g., C-RNTI) to schedule group-common PDSCH which is scrambled with group-common RNTI. This scheme can also be called UE-specific PDCCH based group scheduling scheme.   

·        Note: The ‘UE-specific PDCCH / PDSCH’ here means the PDCCH / PDSCH can only be identified by the target UE but cannot be identified by the other UEs in the same MBS group with the target UE.

·        Note: The ‘group-common PDCCH / PDSCH’ here means the PDCCH / PDSCH are transmitted in the same time/frequency resources and can be identified by all the UEs in the same MBS group.

·        FFS whether or not to have additional definition of transmission scheme(s)

Agreements: For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, if initial transmission for multicast is based on PTM transmission scheme 1, at least support retransmission(s) can use PTM transmission scheme 1.

·        FFS: whether to support PTP transmission for retransmission(s).

·        FFS: whether to support PTM transmission scheme 2 for retransmission(s).

·        FFS: How to indicate the association between PTM scheme 1 and PTP transmitting the same TB.

·        FFS: If multiple retransmission schemes are supported, then can different retransmission schemes be supported simultaneously for different UEs in the same group?

R1-2009629        Summary#4 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

Decisions from GTW sessions,

Working assumption:

For multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs, a common frequency resource for group-common PDCCH / PDSCH is confined within the frequency resource of a dedicated unicast BWP to support simultaneous reception of unicast and multicast in the same slot

·        Down select from the two options for the common frequency resource for group-common PDCCH/ PDSCH

o   Option 2A: The common frequency resource is defined as an MBS specific BWP, which is associated with the dedicated unicast BWP and using the same numerology (SCS and CP)

§  FFS BWP switching is needed between the multicast reception in the MBS specific BWP and unicast reception in its associated dedicated BWP

o   Option 2B: The common frequency resource is defined as an ‘MBS frequency region’ with a number of contiguous PRBs, which is configured within the dedicated unicast BWP.

§  FFS: How to indicate the starting PRB and the length of PRBs of the MBS frequency region

·        FFS whether UE can be configured with no unicast reception in the common frequency resource

·        FFS on details of the group-common PDCCH / PDSCH configuration

·        FFS whether to support more than one common frequency resources per UE / per dedicated unicast BWP subjected to UE capabilities

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov.11th,

Agreement: Support TDM between one unicast PDSCH and one group-common PDSCH in a slot based on UE capability for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.

 

Agreements: Support SPS group-common PDSCH for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs

·        FFS: use group-common PDCCH or UE-specific PDCCH for SPS group-common PDSCH activation/deactivation

·        FFS: whether to support more than one SPS group-common PDSCH configuration per UE

·        FFS: whether and how uplink feedback could be configured

·        FFS: retransmission of SPS group-common PDSCH

Agreements: For PTM transmission scheme 1, the CORESET for group-common PDCCH is configured within the common frequency resource for group-common PDSCH.

·        FFS: number of CORESET(s) for group-common PDCCH within the common frequency resource for group-common PDSCH

Agreement: For search space set of group-common PDCCH of PTM scheme 1 for multicast in RRC_CONNECTED state, the CCE indexes are common for different UEs in the same MBS group.

 

Agreements: Down select from the two options for BDs/CCEs limit for Rel-17 MBS

·        Option 1: the maximum number of monitored PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs per slot per serving cell defined in Rel-15 is kept unchanged for Rel-17 MBS.

·        Option 2: For UEs supporting CA capability, the budget of BDs/CCEs of an unused CC can be used for group-common PDCCH to count the number of BDs/CCEs, which is similar to the method used for multi-DCI based multi-TRP in Rel-16.

Agreement: For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, support inter-slot TDM between unicast PDSCH and group-common PDSCH in different slots (mandatory for the UE supporting MBS).

 

Agreements: Further study the following cases for simultaneous reception of unicast PDSCH and group-common PDSCH in a slot based on UE capability for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.

·        Case 1: support TDM between multiple TDMed unicast PDSCHs and one group-common PDSCH in a slot

·        Case 2: support TDM among multiple group-common PDSCHs in a slot

·        Case 3: support TDM between multiple TDMed unicast PDSCHs and multiple TDMed group-common PDSCHs in a slot

·        Case 4: support FDM between multiple TDMed unicast PDSCHs and multiple TDMed group-common PDSCHs in a slot

·        Case 5: support FDM among multiple group-common PDSCHs in a slot

·        FFS: maximum number of PDSCHs in a slot simultaneous received per UE

Agreements: For search space set of group-common PDCCH of PTM scheme 1 for multicast in RRC_CONNECTED state, further study the following options.

·        Option 1: Define a new search space type specific for multicast

·        Option 2: Reuse the existing CSS type(s) in Rel-15/16

o   FFS: whether modifications are needed for multicast

·        Option 3: Reuse the existing USS in Rel-15/16 with necessary modifications for MBS

o   FFS: detailed modifications

Agreement: No specification enhancement in Rel-17 to support SDM between unicast PDSCH and group-common PDSCH in a slot for RRC_CONNECTED UEs.

 

R1-2009677        Summary#5 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

Decisions from GTW sessions,

Agreement: For PTM transmission scheme 1, if Option 2A or Option 2B for common frequency resource for group-common PDCCH/PDSCH is agreed, the FDRA field of group-common PDCCH is interpreted based on the common frequency resource.

 

Agreements: For search space set of group-common PDCCH of PTM scheme 1 for multicast in RRC_CONNECTED state, further study the following options for the monitoring priority of search space set

·        Option 1: The monitoring priority of search space set for multicast is the same as existing Rel-15/16 CSS

·        Option 2: The monitoring priority of search space set for multicast is the same as existing Rel-15/16 USS

·        Other options are not precluded

·        The monitoring priority is used at least for PDCCH overbooking case

o   FFS for other cases (e.g., to prune PDCCH in terms of whether it’s unicast or multicast, etc.)

R1-2101875        Summary#4 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

Decision: From GTW session on Jan 28th,

Agreement:

For multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs, a common frequency resource for group-common PDCCH / PDSCH is confined within the frequency resource of a dedicated unicast BWP to support simultaneous reception of unicast and multicast in the same slot

·        Down select from the two options for the common frequency resource for group-common PDCCH/ PDSCH

o   Option 2A: The common frequency resource is defined as an MBS specific BWP, which is associated with the dedicated unicast BWP and using the same numerology (SCS and CP)

§  FFS BWP switching is needed between the multicast reception in the MBS specific BWP and unicast reception in its associated dedicated BWP

o   Option 2B: The common frequency resource is defined as an ‘MBS frequency region’ with a number of contiguous PRBs, which is configured within the dedicated unicast BWP.

§  FFS: How to indicate the starting PRB and the length of PRBs of the MBS frequency region

·        FFS whether UE can be configured with no unicast reception in the common frequency resource

·        FFS on details of the group-common PDCCH / PDSCH configuration

·        FFS whether to support more than one common frequency resources per UE / per dedicated unicast BWP subjected to UE capabilities

·        FFS whether the use of a common frequency resource for multicast is optional or not

·        FFS whether the common frequency resource is applicable for PTM scheme 2 (if supported) or not

 

Agreement:

·        If Option 2B is supported for common frequency resource for multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs, the starting PRB and the length of PRBs of the MBS frequency region within a dedicated unicast BWP are configured via UE-specific RRC signaling.

o   The starting PRB is referenced to one of the two options:

§  Option 1: Point A

§  Option 2: the starting PRB of the dedicated unicast BWP

o   FFS the detailed signaling

·        If Option 2A is supported for common frequency resource for multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs, the configurations of the starting PRB and the length of PRBs of the MBS frequency resource reuse the legacy BWP configuration.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Jan 29th,

Agreement:

For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, if ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is supported for PTM scheme 1, and if initial transmission for multicast is based on PTM transmission scheme 1, support retransmission(s) using PTP transmission.

·        The HARQ process ID and NDI indicated in DCI is used to associate the PTM scheme 1 and PTP transmitting the same TB.

 

Agreement:

The maximum number of monitored PDCCH candidates and non-overlapped CCEs per slot per serving cell defined in Rel-15 is kept unchanged for Rel-17 MBS.

·        FFS whether the budget of BDs/CCEs of an unused CC can be used for group-common PDCCH to count the number of BDs/CCEs for UEs supporting CA capability based on configuration, which is similar to the method used for multi-DCI based multi-TRP in Rel-16.

 

Working Assumption:

Keep the “3+1” DCI size budget defined in Rel-15 for Rel-17 MBS.

·        FFS: Whether the G-RNTI is counted as “C-RNTI” or as “other RNTI” when considering the “3+1” DCI size budget rule for group-common PDCCH.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, more than one SPS group-common PDSCH configuration for MBS can be configured per UE subject to UE capability

·        The total number of SPS configurations supported by a UE currently defined for unicast is not increased due to additionally supporting MBS.

·        FFS: How to allocate the total SPS configurations between MBS and unicast.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_CONNECTED UEs, support HARQ-ACK feedback for SPS group-common PDSCH for MBS

·        FFS: The retransmission scheme(s)

·        FFS: The HARQ-ACK details for SPS PDSCH and activation/deactivation, which can be discussed in AI 8.12.2

 

R1-2102032        Summary#8 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

 

Agreement:

From RAN1 perspective, the CFR (common frequency resource) for multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs, which is confined within the frequency resource of a dedicated unicast BWP and using the same numerology (SCS and CP), includes the following configurations:

 

Agreement:

For search space set of group-common PDCCH of PTM scheme 1 for multicast in RRC_CONNECTED state, at least support CSS

·        FFS: reuse existing CSS type(s) in Rel-15/16 or define a new Type CSS

·        FFS: Two options for monitoring priority:

o   Option 1: the monitoring priority is the same as existing Rel-15/16 CSS

o   Option 2: the monitoring priority is determined based on the search space set indexes of search space set(s) for multicast and USS sets.

For broadcast reception, the same group-common PDCCH and the corresponding scheduled group-common PDSCH can be received by both RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs and RRC_CONNECTED UEs when UE-specific active BWP of RRC_CONNECTED UE contains the common frequency resource of RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE UEs and the SCS and CP are the same.

·        FFS: the case when UE-specific active BWP of RRC_CONNECTED UE does not contain the common frequency resource of RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE UEs.

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, for broadcast reception, further study the following cases of a configured/defined specific common frequency resource (CFR) for group-common PDCCH/PDSCH, and identify which case(s) will be supported:

·        [Case E] the case where a CFR is defined based on a configured BWP.

o   In particular, study the following:

§  whether a configured BWP for MBS is needed or not.

§  whether BWP switching is needed or not.

o   In this study, the configured BWP has the following properties:

§  The configured BWP is different than the initial BWP where the frequency resources of this initial BWP are configured smaller than the full carrier bandwidth.

§  The CFR has the frequency resources identical to the configured BWP.

§  The configured BWP needs to fully contain the initial BWP in frequency domain and has the same SCS and CP as the initial BWP.

o   Note: The configured BWP is not larger than the carrier bandwidth

·        the case where the initial BWP fully contains the CFR in the frequency domain.

o   In this study the following sub-cases are considered:

o   In particular, study the following:

§  Whether the considered two options with a CFR with smaller size than the initial BWP are needed or not for MBS.

·        the case where the initial BWP has same size as the CFR in the frequency domain.

o   In this study the following two sub-cases are considered:

§  [Case A] A CFR with the same size as the initial BWP, where the initial BWP has the same frequency resources as CORESET0. In this case the CFR has the same frequency resources and same SCS and CP as the initial BWP.

§  [Case C] A CFR with same size as the initial BWP, where the initial BWP has the frequency resources configured by SIB1. In this case the CFR has the same frequency resources and same SCS and CP as the initial BWP.

o   In particular, study the following:

§  Whether the considered two options with a CFR with the same size as the initial BWP are needed or not for MBS.

Agreement:

For group-common PDCCH of Rel-17 MBS, support at least two DCI formats.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on April 16th,

Agreement:

The same HARQ process ID and NDI are used for PTM scheme 1 (re)transmissions and PTP retransmissions of the same TB.

 

Agreement:

At least support the following cases for PDSCH reception for MBS in a slot based on UE capability for RRC_CONNECTED UEs

·         Case 1: support TDM between M (M>1) TDMed unicast PDSCHs and one group-common PDSCH in a slot per CC

·         Case 2: support TDM among N (N>1) group-common PDSCHs in a slot per CC

·         Case 3: support TDM between K (K>1) TDMed unicast PDSCHs and L (L>1) TDMed group-common PDSCHs in a slot per CC

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on April 18th,

Agreement:

If a CFR is configured for multicast in RRC-CONNECTED state and confined within a dedicated unicast BWP, further study the following options.

·         Option 1: the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for unicast in the dedicated unicast BWP can be used for multicast transmission if the CORESET is fully contained in the CFR in frequency domain, and the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for MBS in the CFR can be used for unicast transmission.

·         Option 2: the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for unicast in the dedicated unicast BWP cannot be used for multicast transmission even if the CORESET is fully contained in the CFR in frequency domain, and the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for MBS in the CFR cannot be used for unicast transmission.

·         Option 3: the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for unicast in the dedicated unicast BWP can be used for multicast transmission if the CORESET is fully contained in the CFR in frequency domain, but the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for MBS in the CFR cannot be used for unicast transmission.

·         Option 4: the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for unicast in the dedicated unicast BWP cannot be used for multicast transmission even if the CORESET is fully contained in the CFR in frequency domain, but the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config for MBS in the CFR can be used for unicast transmission.

 

Agreement:

One CFR is supported per dedicated unicast BWP for multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs.

 

Agreement:

The retransmission scheme for a given SPS group-common PDSCH can be either PTM scheme 1 or PTP.

 

Agreement:

Define G-CS-RNTI at least for SPS group-common PDSCH and activation/deactivation of SPS group-common PDSCH, different from CS-RNTI for unicast SPS PDSCH.

 

Conclusion:

The maximum number of HARQ processes per cell, currently supported for unicast, is kept unchanged for UE to support multicast reception.

 

Agreement:

Send an LS to RAN2 regarding at least the following questions:

 

Agreement:

Include the following in the LS to RAN2:

 

R1-2104045        LS on G-RNTI and G-CS-RNTI for MBS RAN1, CMCC

Decision: As per email decision posted on April 22nd, the LS is approved.

 

Agreement:

For CSS of group-common PDCCH of PTM scheme 1 for multicast in RRC_CONNECTED state, down-select from the following alternatives (to be decided in RAN1#105):

·        Alt 1: support Type-3 CSS

o   The monitoring priority of Type-3 CSS for group-common PDCCH is the same as existing Rel-15/16 CSS, regardless of which DCI format of group-common PDCCH is configured in Type-3 CSS

·        Alt 2: support a new Type-x CSS

o   The monitoring priority of new Type-x CSS is determined based on the search space set indexes of the new Type-x CSS set and USS sets, regardless of which DCI format of group-common PDCCH is configured in the new Type-x CSS.

·        Alt 3: support both Alt 1 and Alt 2

 

Agreement:

The down-selection of Option 2A and Option 2B for CFR for multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs will be made before the end of RAN1#105-e.

 

Conclusion:

It is based on gNB implementation to schedule unicast on the frequency resources covered by CFR configured for multicast.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_CONNECTED UE supporting MBS, support up to 8 configured SPS configurations in a BWP of a serving cell for unicast and MBS in total.

 

Agreement:

Confirm the working assumption:

For activation/deactivation of SPS group-common PDSCH for MBS in RRC_CONNECTED state,

R1-2106093        Summary#3 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

From GTW session:

 

Agreement:

For PTP retransmission of SPS group-common PDSCH, CS-RNTI is used for CRC scrambling of PDCCH with the NDI bit set to 1.

 

Agreement:

As a baseline, reuse existing fields in DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI for the fields of first DCI format with CRC scrambled with G-RNTI.

·        FFS: how to determine the bitlength of FDRA field.

·        FFS: Whether ‘Identifier for DCI formats’, ‘TPC command for scheduled PUCCH’ are needed.

·        FFS: How to perform DCI size alignment

·        FFS: Whether to include new DCI fields

·        Note: All of the fields may not be reused and the size of the fields may not be the same

 

Working assumption:

Option 2B for CFR associated with UE active BWP other than initial BWP is supported at least for multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs.

 

R1-2106169        Summary#5 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

Decision: As per email decision posted on May 25th,

Agreement:

For multicast of RRC_CONNECTED UEs, further study

 

Agreement:

Confirm the working assumption:

Keep the “3+1” DCI size budget defined in Rel-15 for Rel-17 MBS.

 

Agreement:

For Rel-17 MBS UE, the UE maximum number of TDMed PDSCH receptions capability in a slot per CC is kept as for Rel-15/Rel-16, i.e., {2/4/7} based on UE FG5-11/5-11a/5-11b.

 

From GTW session:

·        Note: Down-selection can take into account the HARQ-ACK feedback scheme for SPS activation

Working assumption:

The maximum number of CORESETs per BWP is not increased for support of MBS, and the number of CORESETs configured within the CFR is left to gNB implementation.

 

Agreement:

As a baseline, reuse existing fields in DCI format 1_1 for the fields of the second DCI format with CRC scrambled with G-RNTI.

·        FFS: whether ‘Identifier for DCI formats’, ‘TPC command for scheduled PUCCH’, ‘Carrier indicator’ and ‘Bandwidth part indicator’ are needed.

·        FFS: How to perform DCI size alignment

·        FFS: Whether to include new DCI fields for the second DCI format

·        Note: All of the fields may not be reused and the size of the fields may not be the same

Agreement:

For HARQ process management, further study whether/how to differentiate the HARQ process ID used for PTP (re)transmission for unicast and PTP retransmission for multicast.

From GTW session:

 

Agreement:

The signalling for URLLC feature can be reused to configure separate codebooks for unicast and multicast, respectively, at least for the case of different priorities, at least for Type-2 HARQ codebook

·        FFS: The case for the same priority.

·        FFS: The case of Type-1 HARQ codebook

·        FFS: Whether this applies to separate PUCCH transmissions only

 

R1-2106064        FL summary#2 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From GTW session:

 

Agreement:

Support PUCCH format 0 and format 1 for NACK-only based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast.

 

Agreement:

Support NACK-only based HARQ-ACK feedback at least for multicast SPS PDSCH without PDCCH scheduling.

·        FFS for SPS activation/deactivation.

Agreement:

The priority of multicast is the same as the priority of unicast for the same priority index of HARQ-ACK at least for ACK/NACK based feedback.

 

R1-2106113        FL summary#3 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From GTW session:

 

Agreement:

NR supports at least the following cases for UE supporting multicast:

·        UE supports two non-overlapping slot-based PUCCHs for ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast with different priorities in a slot subject to UE capability.

·        UE supports two non-overlapping slot-based PUCCHs for ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast and unicast with different priorities, respectively, in a slot subject to UE capability.

Agreement:

For Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook construction for FDM-ed unicast and multicast with the same priority from the same TRP, support

·        Opt 4: HARQ-ACK bits for all the PDSCH occasions over all the slots for all serving cells for unicast, precede, HARQ-ACK bits for all the PDSCH occasions over all the slots for all serving cells for multicast. (This is similar to the joint Type-1 codebook for mTRP).

·        FFS: If UE reports the capability of supporting the FDM-ed unicast and multicast in the same slot, UE can be indicated semi-statically to generate Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook as FDM-ed manner (i.e., Opt 4).

o   Otherwise, UE does not expect unicast and multicast are to be scheduled in FDM-ed.

Conclusion:

PUCCH resource for NACK-only can be shared by UEs transmitting the NACK-only based HARQ-ACK feedback.

 

Agreement:

For ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast, the multiplexing/prioritizing rule between the HARQ-ACK for multicast and SR/CSI can reuse Rel-16 multiplexing/ prioritizing rule between the HARQ-ACK for unicast and SR/CSI.

 

Agreement:

For support of ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback for SPS multicast,

·        the HARQ-ACK codebook index corresponding the HARQ-ACK codebook for SPS PDSCH is included in the configuration for SPS multicast.

o   UE determines a priority index from the HARQ-ACK codebook index

·        UE can be optionally configured a separate SPS-PUCCH-AN-List for all SPS multicast configurations. Otherwise, a common SPS-PUCCH-AN-List applies to all SPS unicast and SPS multicast configurations.

From GTW session:

 

Agreement:

For TDM-ed unicast and multicast, for Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook construction for ACK/NACK-based unicast and multicast to be multiplexed in the same PUCCH resource, determining PDSCH reception candidate occasions is based on down-selecting one of the two alternatives as follows:

·        Alt 1:

o       for slot timing values  in the intersection of  set for unicast (termed set A) and  set for multicast (termed set B), based on union of the PDSCH TDRA sets,

o       for slot timing values  in set A but not in set B, based on PDSCH TDRA set for unicast, and

o       for slot timing values  in set B but not in set A, based on PDSCH TDRA set for multicast.

·        Alt 2: for slot timing values  in the union of  set for unicast and  set for multicast, based on the union of the PDSCH TDRA sets.

·        Companies are encouraged to continue discussion of pros and cons for each alternative for further down-selection in the next meeting.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on May 27th,

assumption:

For enabling/disabling ACK/NACK-based HARQ-ACK feedback for RRC_CONNECTED UE receiving multicast via dynamic group-common PDSCH:

R1-2105995        Feature lead summary #3 on RAN basic functions for broadcast/multicast for UEs in RRC_IDLE/ RRC_INACTIVE states          Moderator (BBC)

From GTW session:

 

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, for broadcast reception, DCI format 1_0 is used as baseline for GC-PDCCH of MCCH and MTCH.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, for broadcast reception, RAN1 confirms the following assumptions made by RAN2

 

Agreement:

For broadcast reception, RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs support the same CSS type for MCCH and MTCH.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, for broadcast reception, study the following alternatives for MCCH change notification indication due to session start:

Other solutions are not precluded and it is also not precluded whether to support both Alt1 and Alt2.

 

Conclusion:

It is up to RAN2 to decide the specific contents of the MCCH change notification, e.g, whether notification only informs about session start, whether or not notification also informs about session modification/stop or whether or not the notification informs about any other information.

 

R1-2106217        Feature Lead summary #4 on RAN basic functions for broadcast/multicast for UEs in RRC_IDLE/ RRC_INACTIVE states          Moderator (BBC)

From GTW session:

 

Agreement:

For broadcast reception, RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs can use a configured/defined CFR with the same size as the initial BWP, where the initial BWP has the same frequency resources as CORESET0 (i.e., Case A), to receive GC-PDCCH/PDSCH carrying MCCH.

·        Note: GC-PDCCH/PDSCH transmission within a narrower portion of the Initial BWP (where the initial BWP has the same frequency resources as CORESET0) is possible by implementation via appropriate scheduling.

 

Agreement:

For broadcast reception, RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs can use a configured/defined CFR with the same size as the initial BWP, where the initial BWP has the same frequency resources as CORESET0 (i.e., Case A), to receive GC-PDCCH/PDSCH carrying MTCH.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, the CORESET index can be the same for GC-PDCCH of MCCH and MTCH.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, for broadcast reception, the same beam can be used for group-common PDCCH and the corresponding scheduled group-common PDSCH for carrying MCCH or MTCH.

 

Agreement:

For Rel-17, for broadcast reception, RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs do not exceed the maximum number of CORESETs mandatorily (in the minimum capability) supported for Rel-15/Rel-16 UEs, i.e., 2 CORESETs.

·        If the CFR has the same frequency range as the initial BWP, where the initial BWP has the same frequency resources as CORESET0 or where the initial BWP has the frequency resources configured by SIB1, RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs can be configured with the following options:

o   CORESET#0 (default option if CFR is the initial BWP and CORESET is not configured); or

o   CORESET configured by commonControlResourceSet; or

o   CORESET#0 and CORESET configured by commonControlResourceSet.

R1-2108368            Summary#4 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS  Moderator (CMCC)        (rev of R1-2108359)

From GTW session:

Agreement:

For multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs, align the size of the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH with DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI monitored in CSS.

 

Agreement:

Confirm the following working assumption:

The maximum number of CORESETs per BWP is not increased for support of MBS, and the number of CORESETs configured within the CFR is left to gNB implementation.

 

Agreement:

For indication of the starting PRB and the length of PRBs of CFR for multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs,

 

Agreement:

For LBRM and TBS determination for GC-PDSCH:

o   FFS the default value.

o   FFS: if mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for MBS is not configured in CFR, a value determined from mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for unicast in the active DL BWP is used; if the mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for unicast is not configured, Table 5.1.3.1-1 in TS38.214 is used (similar as the default value in R16).

 

Agreement:

The first DCI format for GC-PDCCH uses the same fields as DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI with the following modifications:

·        At least Identifier for DCI formats’ is not needed.

o   FFS: Whether the field should be ignored and reserved, or should be removed.

·        For FDRA determination, down-select from following options:

o   Option 1:

§   is given by

·        the size of CORESET 0 if CORESET 0 is configured for the cell; and

·        the size of initial DL bandwidth part if CORESET 0 is not configured for the cell.

§  For resource indication value (RIV) of downlink resource allocation type 1, the resource blocks that can be indicated are

·        the resource blocks in the CORESET 0 if CORESET 0 is configured for the cell; and

·        the resource blocks in the initial DL bandwidth part if CORESET 0 is not configured for the cell.

o   Option 2:

§   is given by

·        the size of CORESET 0 if CORESET 0 is configured for the cell; and

·        the size of initial DL bandwidth part if CORESET 0 is not configured for the cell.

§  For resource indication value (RIV) of downlink resource allocation type 1, the similar scheme as for the case that the DCI size for DCI format 1_0 in USS is derived from the size of DCI format 1_0 in CSS but applied to an active BWP is used.

·        FFS details, e.g., if the size of CFR (i.e. ) is larger than the size of CORESET0/initial DL bandwidth part, the resource indication value (RIV) is defined as in section 5.1.2.2.2 in TS38.214, where K is the maximum value from set {1, 2, 4, 8} which satisfies ;otherwise,

o   Option 3:  is given by the size of CFR in the active DL BWP

 

Agreement:

The second DCI format for GC-PDCCH uses the same fields as DCI format 1_1 with the following modifications:

·        At least ‘Identifier for DCI formats’ and ‘SRS request’ are not needed.

o   FFS whether the fields should be ignored and reserved, or should be removed.

·        Note: At least the configurable fields in DCI format 1_1 remain configurable for the second DCI format

 

R1-2108471            Summary#6 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS  Moderator (CMCC)        (rev of R1-2108459)

From GTW session:

Agreement:

For initializing scrambling sequence generator for GC-PDCCH with the second DCI format,

·         equals the higher layer parameter pdcch-DMRS-ScramblingID if it is configured in the CORESET in a CFR used for the GC-PDCCH;  otherwise.

·        FFS: Values for . Choices include one or more of the following:

o   Alt1: G-RNTI used for the GC-PDCCH.

o   Alt2: 0

o   Alt3: Other fixed values

 

Agreement:

If a SPS-config for MBS is configured in CFR, one G-CS-RNTI is associated with the SPS-config.

 

Agreement:

For FDRA determination of the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH, down-select from Option 2 and updated Option 3.

o   Option 2:

§   is given by

·        the size of CORESET 0 if CORESET 0 is configured for the cell; and

·        the size of initial DL bandwidth part if CORESET 0 is not configured for the cell.

§  For resource indication value (RIV) of downlink resource allocation type 1, the similar scheme as for the case that the DCI size for DCI format 1_0 in USS is derived from the size of DCI format 1_0 in CSS but applied to an active BWP is used.

·        FFS details, e.g., if the size of CFR (i.e. ) is larger than the size of CORESET0/initial DL bandwidth part, the resource indication value (RIV) is defined as in section 5.1.2.2.2 in TS38.214, where K is the maximum value from set {1, 2, 4, 8} which satisfies ;otherwise,

o   Option 3:  is given by the size of CFR in the active DL BWP

§  If the size of the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH prior to truncation is larger than the size of DCI format 1_0 monitored in CSS, the bit width of the FDRA field in the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH is reduced by truncating the first few most significant bits such that the size of the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH equals the size of DCI format 1_0 monitored in CSS.

§  FFS: Whether the removed/reserved fields can be repurposed for FDRA

§  FFS: Solution for the case where the size of the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH prior to padding is smaller than the size of DCI format 1_0 monitored in CSS.

From GTW session:

Conclusion:

The specification impact of having a new Type-x CSS for GC-PDCCH in RRC_CONNECTED state can be studied and discussed further.

 

Agreement:

For initializing scrambling sequence generator for GC-PDSCH scheduled by the second DCI format for multicast received in Type-x CSS,

·         equals the higher layer parameter dataScramblingIdentityPDSCH if it is configured in PDSCH-Config in a CFR used for GC-PDSCH and the RNTI equals the G-RNTI or G-CS-RNTI;  otherwise.

·         corresponds to the RNTI associated with the GC-PDSCH transmission (i.e., the G-RNTI used by the scheduling GC-PDCCH, or the G-CS-RNTI used by the SPS GC-PDSCH activation PDCCH)

 

Agreement:

R1-2108481            FL summary#5 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs    Moderator (Huawei)

From GTW session:

Agreement:

For UEs supporting ACK/NACK-based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast and unicast, the following values are unchanged compared to unicast in Rel-16:

·         The maximum number of PUCCH resources sets in each PUCCH-Config,

·         The maximum number of PUCCH resources in a PUCCH resource set in each PUCCH-Config,

·         The maximum number of UCI information bits for the first PUCCH resource set.

·         The total number of PUCCH resources from all PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList.

·         Note:

o    This applies to both cases of whether or not UE is configured optionally with a separate PUCCH-Config or PUCCH-ConfigurationList for multicast.

o    The case of NACK-only based is discussed separately.

 

Agreement:

When UE is configured with the pdsch-HARQ-ACK-Codebook/pdsch-HARQ-ACK-CodebookList for ACK/NACK based feedback for multicast, it is applied to all G-RNTIs configured to UE.

 

Agreement:

For the separate PUCCH-ConfigurationList that is optionally configured to UE for NACK-only based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast,

·         The separate PUCCH-ConfigurationList for multicast configuration can be a list which includes up to 2 PUCCH-Config configurations corresponding low priority feedback and high priority feedback, respectively.

·         FFS: how to handle the case when separate PUCCH-ConfigurationList is not configured to UE for NACK-only based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast.

 

Agreement:

The priority index is,

·         for the second DCI format for GC-PDCCH, optionally configured to be included in the DCI format. If not configured, the priority index is not included in the DCI format and is low priory by default.

·         for the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH, down-select from:

o    Alt1: Optionally configured to be included in the DCI format. If not configured, the priority index is not included in the DCI format and is low priory by default.

o    Alt2: Always low priority, i.e., the priority index is not included in the DCI format.

 

Agreement:

The priority of multicast for NACK-only based feedback is the same as the priority of unicast for the same priority index of HARQ-ACK.

 

Agreement:

When more than one NACK-only based feedback are available for transmission in the same PUCCH slot, down-select from the following alternatives:

·         Alt1: Support UE multiplexing the HARQ-ACK bits by transforming NACK-only into ACK/NACK HARQ bits.

·         Alt2: Support sub-slot based PUCCH for this case.

·         Alt3: Support UE transmitting more than one slot-based PUCCHs in the same PUCCH slot.

·         Alt4: Define combination of NACK-only which corresponds to a specific sequence or a PUCCH transmission.

·         Alt5: NACK-only bundling

 

Agreement:

When UE supports and is configured with more than one G-RNTI,

·         for Type-2 codebook construction, DAI is separately counted per G-RNTI.

·         Type-2 codebook is constructed by concatenating Type-2 sub-codebook of each RNTI following the ascending order of the G-RNTI value.

 

R1-2108553            FL summary#6 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs    Moderator (Huawei)

From GTW session:

Agreement:

Update the WA made in RAN1#105-e meeting regarding enabling/disabling HARQ-ACK feedback as follows:

Working assumption:

For enabling/disabling ACK/NACK-based HARQ-ACK feedback for RRC_CONNECTED UE receiving multicast via dynamic group-common PDSCH:

·         RRC signaling configures the enabling/ disabling function of group-common DCI indicating the enabling /disabling ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback.

o    If RRC signaling configures the function of group-common DCI based indication, group-common DCI indicates (explicitly or implicitly) whether ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is enabled/disabled

o    Otherwise, enabling/disabling ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is configured by RRC signaling.

o    FFS details on RRC signaling and group-common DCI indicating.

·         FFS whether/how this option is extended to apply to NACK-only based feedback and multiple G-RNTI cases.

·         FFS the relation to the HARQ-ACK codebook types and HARQ-ACK codebook construction.

·         FFS the relation to the enabling/disabling ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback for retransmission. 

·         FFS whether/how to allow UE not to react to the DCI signaling, but instead follow UE-specific RRC configuration for HARQ feedback.

·         FFS whether/how to apply it to SPS group-common PDSCH.

·         UE capability for enabling/ disabling function of group-common DCI indicating the enabling /disabling ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is introduced and FFS details.

·         Note: It is up to network implementation to avoid any potential HARQ ACK mismatch between different UEs in the same multicast group

[106-e-NR-MBS-03] – David (BBC)

Email discussion/approval on basic functions for broadcast/multicast for RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs and the LS in R1-2106410 (from AI5) including any reply LS as necessary with checkpoints for agreements on August 19, 24 and 27

R1-2108228        Feature Lead summary #2 on RAN basic functions for broadcast/multicast for UEs in RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE states           Moderator (BBC)             (rev of R1-2108227)

From GTW session:

Agreement:

From RAN1 perspective, the CFR for broadcast reception of RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE UEs, includes at least the following configurations:

·        One set of parameters configured for PDSCH for broadcast reception with GC-PDSCH

·        One set of parameters configured for PDCCH for broadcast reception with GC-PDCCH

·        FFS: whether some parameters configured for PDSCH/PDCCH are optional/needed for the supported cases of CFR.

·        FFS: If necessary, depending on the cases supported, starting PRB and the number of PRBs

o   The reference for starting PRB is Point A. (Following the same approach to determine reference for starting PRB as that defined in AI8.12.1.)

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Aug 22nd,

Conclusion:

There is no specification support in Rel-17 for broadcast reception with RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs with configured/defined CFRs for group-common PDCCH/PDSCH with smaller size than the initial BWP, where the initial BWP has the same frequency resources as CORESET0 (i.e., Case B).

 

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, for broadcast reception, if searchSpace#0 is configured for MTCH, the mapping between PDCCH occasions and SSBs is the same as for SIB1.

 

R1-2108230        Feature Lead summary #4 on RAN basic functions for broadcast/multicast for UEs in RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE states           Moderator (BBC)             (rev of R1-2108229)

From GTW session:

Agreement:

Study and reach an agreement by RAN1#106b-e on whether Alt1 and Alt2 for MCCH change notification indication can accommodate at least 2 bits for the notification of MCCH configuration changes due to a session start and the notification of MCCH configuration changes of an ongoing session (including session stop).

 

Agreement:

The DCI format for GC-PDCCH scheduling a GC-PDSCH carrying MCCH/MTCH at least includes the following fields for broadcast reception with UEs in RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE state:

 

Agreement

Only one CFR can be configured for group-common PDCCH/PDSCH carrying MCCH for broadcast reception with UEs in RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE state.

 

Agreement

For broadcast reception with UEs in RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE state, the DCI size of GC-PDCCH scheduling a GC-PDSCH carrying MCCH/MTCH is aligned with DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI in the CSS.

 

R1-2108578        Feature Lead summary #5 on RAN basic functions for broadcast/multicast for UEs in RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE states           Moderator (BBC)

From GTW session:

Proposal:

For a configured/defined CFR for GC-PDCCH/PDSCH carrying MCCH and MTCH for broadcast reception with UEs in RRC IDLE/INACTIVE state.

Objected by Lenovo

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Aug 27th,

Agreement:

For broadcast reception, RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs can use the same bandwidth configurations for the CFR of GC-PDCCH/PDSCH carrying MCCH and the CFR of GC-PDCCH/PDSCH carrying MTCH.

 

Conclusion:

For broadcast reception with RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs, there is no specification support in Rel-17 of different CSS types for GC-PDCCH scheduling MCCH and MTCH.

 

Agreement:

Study whether the Type-x CSS supported for multicast in RRC_CONNECTED can be reused as baseline for broadcast in RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE for GC-PDCCH scheduling MCCH and MTCH.

 

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs with broadcast reception, if common search space other than searchSpace#0 is configured for MTCH, the mapping of PDCCH monitoring occasions to SSBs can be configured with a rule.

Agreement:

RBG and PRG for multicast GC-PDSCH in CFR are defined using the same procedure as for unicast PDSCH in DL BWP.

·        For RBG, the size is defined based on the starting PRB of the CFR, size of the CFR and the higher layer parameter rbg-Size configured by PDSCH-Config for multicast in the CFR.

·        For PRG, the size is defined based on the starting PRB of the CFR, size of the CFR and precoding granularity for multicast which can be equal to one of the values among {2, 4, wideband}.

·        Note: Whether the RBG and PRG size for multicast (configured directly or indirectly) is the same as for unicast can be discussed separately.

R1-2110408        FL summary#1 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Oct 12th GTW session

Agreement:

The group-common DCI indicating the enabling/disabling ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is configured per G-RNTI by UE RRC signalling.

 

Agreement:

If the group-common DCI indicating the enabling/disabling ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is not configured, enabling/disabling ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is configured per G-RNTI by UE RRC signalling.

 

R1-2110493        FL summary#2 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Oct 14th GTW session

Agreement:

When PUCCH transmission for the NACK-only based feedback for multicast collides with PUCCH transmissions for HARQ-ACK feedback/CSI for unicast for the same priority or PUSCH transmission for the same priority, support UE multiplexing the NACK-only based feedback with the HARQ-ACK feedback/CSI on PUCCH or on to PUSCH by transforming NACK-only into the ACK/NACK HARQ bit.

·        This applies to at least the case of the feedback addressing one TB. NACK-only based feedback for more than one TBs is to be handled separately.

·        Note: When the TB is correctly decoded, the ACK will be transmitted and multiplexed with others.

·        FFS the case of PUCCH for SR.

Agreement:

When more than one NACK-only based feedback are available for transmission in the same PUCCH slot, further decide based on the following subset of alternatives (from previous agreement) with potential further down-selection:

·        Alt1: Support UE multiplexing the HARQ-ACK bits by transforming NACK-only into ACK/NACK HARQ bits.

·        Alt2: Support sub-slot based PUCCH for this case.

·        Alt3: Support UE transmitting more than one slot-based PUCCHs in the same PUCCH slot.

·        Alt4: Define combination of NACK-only which corresponds to a specific sequence or a PUCCH transmission.

·        Alt5: NACK-only bundling

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Oct 15th,

Agreement:

Confirm the WA made in RAN1#106-e meeting regarding enabling/disabling HARQ-ACK feedback.

 

Agreement:

For group-common DCI indicating whether ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is enabled/disabled, down-select from the following alternatives:

·        Alt1: Reuse one existing field in the group-common DCI.

·        Alt2: Introduce a new field in the group-common DCI.

 

R1-2110526        FL summary#3 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Oct 15th GTW session

Agreement:

For multicast SPS PDSCH without PDCCH scheduling, HARQ-ACK feedback option is configured by UE RRC signalling.

·        FFS: Whether the configuration is per SPS configuration index or per G-CS-RNTI.

·        Note: Whether there is a UE capability for support of NACK-only based HARQ-ACK or not will be discussed as part of UE features discussion.

Agreement:

·        If configured, the pdsch-AggregationFactor for multicast dynamic scheduling is configured per G-RNTI.

·        If configured, the pdsch-AggregationFactor for multicast SPS is configured per SPS-Config-Multicast.

Agreement:

For slot-level repetition for SPS GC-PDSCH for multicast RRC_CONNECTED UEs.

·        Config A or Config B can be configured to UE:

o   (Config A) UE can be optionally configured with pdsch-AggregationFactor per SPS-Config-Multicast.

o   (Config B) UE can be optionally configured with TDRA table with repetitionNumber as part of the TDRA table in PDSCH-Config-Multicast. If UE is configured with Config B, UE does not expect to be configured with Config A for the same SPS group-common PDSCH.

·        For Config A, if pdsch-AggregationFactor in SPS-Config-Multicast is not configured, default value is

o   Alt1: equal to 1.

Agreement:

For UE supporting both ACK/NACK based and NACK-only based feedback for multicast, for the same G-RNTI, support the following

o    Note: Case1-1: if configured with ACK/NACK based feedback, UE can be optionally configured a separate PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList for multicast. Otherwise, PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList for unicast applies (This has been agreed.)

o    Case 1-2: if configured with NACK-only based feedback, when separate PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList for NACK-only is not configured, PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList for unicast applies.

 

R1-2110545        FL summary#4 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Oct 18th GTW session

Agreement:

For the priority index for the first DCI format for GC-PDCCH, support the following Alt2 from the previous agreement:

·         Alt1: Optionally configured to be included in the DCI format. If not configured, the priority index is not included in the DCI format and is low priory by default.

·         Alt2: Always low priority, i.e., the priority index is not included in the DCI format.

 

Agreement:

For TDM-ed unicast and multicast, for Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook construction for ACK/NACK-based unicast and multicast to be multiplexed in the same PUCCH resource, determining PDSCH reception candidate occasions can be configured between the following alternatives from the previous agreement:

·        Alt 1:

o       for slot timing values  in the intersection of  set for unicast (termed set A) and  set for multicast (termed set B), based on union of the PDSCH TDRA sets,

o       for slot timing values  in set A but not in set B, based on PDSCH TDRA set for unicast, and

o       for slot timing values  in set B but not in set A, based on PDSCH TDRA set for multicast.

·        Alt 2: for slot timing values  in the union of  set for unicast and  set for multicast, based on the union of the PDSCH TDRA sets.

·        Support of Alt. 1 is a UE capability

 

R1-2110583        FL summary#5 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Oct 19th GTW session

Agreement:

For multiplexing the ACK/NACK-based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast and unicast, determining the PUCCH resources for transmission is based on the PRI indicated in the “last DCI”, where the “last DCI” refers to the following Alt1 from the previous agreement:

·        Alt.1: The last DCI for unicast

·        FFS: Any details when last DCI is missed by the UE if it is necessary to make them different from current specifications for this case.

Proposal:

For a configured/defined CFR for GC-PDCCH/PDSCH carrying MCCH and MTCH for broadcast reception with UEs in RRC IDLE/INACTIVE state.

Objection sustained by: Nokia Shanghai Bell, ZTE, vivo, LG Electronics, Qualcomm

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Oct 20th,

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs for broadcast reception, MTCH scheduling is associated with a window defined by the MTCH monitoring periodicity and the starting of the periodicity

·        FFS: the window is associated to one or multiple or all G-RNTI.

Agreement:

For RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE UEs for broadcast reception, at least support that within the MTCH scheduling window, the association between the PDCCH monitoring occasions and SSB is defined as:

·        the [x×N+K]th PDCCH monitoring occasion(s) for MTCH in the scheduling window corresponds to the Kth transmitted SSB, where x = 0, 1, ...X-1, K = 1, 2, …N, N is the number of actual transmitted SSBs determined according to ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 and X is equal to CEIL(number of PDCCH monitoring occasions in MTCH transmission window/N).

·        For the purpose of associating PDCCH monitoring occasion for MTCH and SSB, the UE assumes that, in the MTCH scheduling window, PDCCH for an MTCH scrambled by G-RNTI is transmitted in at least one PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to each transmitted SSB.

Email discussion/approval on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs with checkpoints for agreements on November 15 and 19

R1-2111630        Summary#1 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

From Nov 11th GTW session

Agreement

For multicast of RRC_CONNECTED UEs, the G-CS-RNTI(s) is/are configured per serving cell.

 

Agreement

For initializing sequence generator for DMRS of GC-PDSCH,  are defined using the same procedure as for unicast PDSCH.

·       given by

o   if the higher-layer parameter dmrs-Downlink in the DMRS-DownlinkConfig IE in the PDSCH-Config-Multicast IE is provided

                                                               

                                                                                         

where λ is the CDM group defined in clause 7.4.1.1.2 in TS38.211.

o   otherwise by

                                                                                  

                                                                                         

·      The quantity  is given by the DM-RS sequence initialization field, if present, in the DCI associated with the PDSCH transmission if multicast DCI format 1_1 is used, otherwise .

 

Agreement

The following information is transmitted by means of the DCI format 1_0 with CRC scrambled by G-RNTI for multicast:

·        Frequency domain resource assignment

·        Time domain resource assignment – 4 bits as defined in Clause 5.1.2.1 of TS38.214

·        VRB-to-PRB mapping – 1 bit according to Table 7.3.1.2.2-5 in TS38.212

·        Modulation and coding scheme – 5 bits as defined in Clause 5.1.3 of TS38.214

·        New data indicator – 1 bit

·        Redundancy version – 2 bits as defined in Table 7.3.1.1.1-2 in TS38.212

·        HARQ process number – [4 or 5] bits

·        Downlink assignment index – 2 bits as defined in Clause 9.1.3 of TS 38.213, as counter DAI

·        PUCCH resource indicator – 3 bits as defined in Clause 9.2.3 of TS38.213

R1-2112541        Summary#3 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

From Nov 17th GTW session

Agreement

For the LBRM/TBS determination for PTP retransmission of multicast, Option 2 is supported.

·        Option 2: based on the LBRM/TBS determination of the legacy unicast PDSCH transmission

o   Note: The UE is not required to soft combine the PTM initial transmission and the PTP retransmission in case of different circular buffer

§  FFS: spec impact, if any

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 18th,

Conclusion

For the RRC parameters that can be configured in PDSCH-Config / PDCCH-Config / SPS-Config in Rel-15/16, they can also be configured in PDSCH-Config-Multicast / PDCCH-Config-Multicast / SPS-Config-Multicast.

·        If some of these RRC parameters need changes for multicast reception (e.g., modify the default values, delete some useless parameters), RAN1 will list them explicitly in the RRC parameter list that will be sent to RAN2.

·        For other RRC parameters that do not need changes for multicast reception, RAN1 will not list them with postfix ‘-Multicast’ one by one in the RRC parameter list that will be sent to RAN2, and the default values of these parameters are the same as the default values of the corresponding parameters in dedicated unicast BWP.

Agreement

PRB bundle and VRB bundle for multicast GC-PDSCH in CFR are defined using the same procedure as for unicast PDSCH scheduled with unicast DCI formats 1_1 in DL BWP as defined in clause 7.3.1.6 in TS38.211. For interleaved mapping of downlink resource allocation type 1,

·        the parameter Nbundle is interpreted as the number of bundles within the CFR,

·        the size of the CFR is used instead of the size of the BWP,

·        the starting PRB of the CFR is used instead of the starting PRB of the BWP

·        the higher-layer parameter vrb-ToPRB-Interleaver in PDSCH-Config-Multicast for multicast, if provided, is used instead of the size of the higher-layer parameter vrb-ToPRB-Interleaver in PDSCH-Config for unicast.

Conclusion

For multicast of RRC-CONNECTED UEs, support CFR associated with UE active BWP, where UE active BWP can be an RRC reconfigured initial DL BWP (using Option#2 for configuring initial BWP according to the Annex B.2 of TS 38.331).

 

Agreement

Multicast DCI format 1_1 includes all configurable fields of unicast DCI format 1_1 except

·        Identifier for DCI formats, TPC command for scheduled PUCCH, SRS request

·        FFS: Scell dormancy indication

·        One-shot HARQ-ACK request, PDSCH group index, New feedback indicator, Number of requested PDSCH group(s), ChannelAccess-Cpext

·        CBGTI, CBGFI

·        Minimum applicable scheduling offset indicator

·        FFS: Carrier indicator, BWP indicator, ZP CSI-RS trigger

·        FFS: MCS/NDI/RV for TB2

Conclusion

If a CFR is configured in a dedicated unicast BWP for multicast in RRC-CONNECTED state, it is up to gNB’s configuration whether to use the CORESET configured in PDCCH-config-Multicast in the CFR for unicast transmission or PTP retransmission of multicast.

 

Agreement

For MCS determination of SPS GC-PDSCH, mcs-Table of ‘qam64LowSE’ can be optionally configured in the SPS-Config-Multicast.

·        If mcs-Table of ‘qam64LowSE’ is not configured in the SPS-Config-Multicast, the mcs-Table of PDSCH-Config-Multicast in the same CFR-Config-Multicast is used for the SPS GC-PDSCH to determine the MCS.

·        If mcs-Table of ‘qam64LowSE’ is configured in the SPS-Config-Multicast, it is used for the SPS GC-PDSCH to determine the MCS.

 

Agreement

A list of up to 8 k1 values can be configured by higher layer parameter dl-DataToUL-ACK-MulticastDciFormat1_0 to be applied to multicast DCI format 1_0 for RRC_CONNECTED UEs. If the higher layer parameter dl-DataToUL-ACK-MulticastDciFormat1_0 is not provided, k1 list {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} is applied to multicast DCI format 1_0.

·        The size of ‘PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator’ field of multicast DCI format 1_0 is fixed at 3 bits.

R1-2112830        Summary#5 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

From Nov 19th GTW session

Agreement

If locationAndBandwidth-Multicast is not configured in a cfr-Config-Multicast, the default value is the locationAndBandwidth of the DL BWP in which the cfr-Config-Multicast is configured.

 

Agreement

For applicable PDSCH time domain resource allocation for multicast DCI format,

·        if pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList in PDSCH-Config-Multicast is provided, the pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList in PDSCH-Config-Multicast is applied,

·        else if pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList in PDSCH-Config-Multicast is not provided but pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList in PDSCH-ConfigCommon is provided, the pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList in PDSCH-ConfigCommon is applied,

·        else if both pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList in PDSCH-Config-Multicast and pdsch-TimeDomainAllocationList in PDSCH-ConfigCommon are not provided, Default A table is applied irrespective of the SS/PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 20th,

Agreement

For multicast in RRC_CONNECTED state,

·        Only SPS-Config-Multicast(s) configured in CFR for multicast can be activated/deactivated by GC-PDCCH with G-CS-RNTI.

·        SPS-Config-Multicast(s) configured in CFR for multicast cannot be activated by unicast PDCCH with CS-RNTI, but can be deactivated by unicast PDCCH with CS-RNTI.

Agreement

For multicast of RRC_CONNECTED UEs in Rel-17,

·        DCI format 2_x cannot be configured in the same CSS configuration with multicast DCI formats.

Agreement

For multicast, if a UE is configured with a CFR in the active DL BWP, for timer-based active DL BWP switching to a default BWP, option 1 is supported.

·        Option 1: UE also starts or restarts BWP-InactivityTimer when it successfully decodes a GC-PDCCH addressed to group-common RNTI (e.g., G-RNTI or G-CS-RNTI) for multicast on/for the active BWP or when a MAC PDU for is received in a configured downlink assignment for multicast.

o   UE does not start or restart BWP-InactivityTimer when it successfully decodes a GC-PDCCH

R1-2112456        FL summary#1 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Nov 11th GTW session

Agreement

When UE is configured with different codebook types for unicast and multicast and when UE is scheduled to multiplex HARQ-ACK for unicast and HARQ-ACK for multicast with the same priority in the same PUCCH slot,

·        UE generates two separate sub-codebooks for unicast and multicast respectively and then concatenates them by appending sub-codebook for multicast to the sub-codebook for unicast.

o   Note: The PUCCH resource for transmitting the codebook is based on the last unicast DCI.

o   FFS: when Type-3 HARQ-ACK codebook or enhanced Type-2 codebook is used for unicast

o   Define a UE capability

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 14th,

Agreement

For multicast SPS activation/deactivation, only ACK/NACK based feedback is supported.

 

R1-2112590        FL summary#2 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Nov 15th GTW session

Agreement

UE is not expected to be configured with different PUCCH structures for unicast and multicast for which the HARQ-ACK are with the same priority and to be scheduled to multiplex the HARQ-ACK in the same PUCCH slot simultaneously.

 

Proposal 2.2.2-1

For the Type-1 codebook construction for FDM-ed unicast and multicast via Opt 4 (from the previous agreement), when UE is configured with multiple G-RNTIs and UE is configured with fdmed-Reception-Multicast, the sub-codebook for multicast consists of the sub-codebooks for each G-RNTI by appending one to another in ascending order of G-RNTI value.

     Note: The maximum numbers of G-RNTI configured to UE is up to UE capability which will be discussed in UE features.

     Note: this applies for at most one unicast PDSCH and one multicast PDSCH in one slot

 

Agreement

For a UE that supports multicast, the same TDRA table applies to all G-RNTIs if configured on a given serving cell.

 

Agreement

For a UE that supports multicast, when PUCCH-Config for ACK/NACK based feedback for multicast is configured separately from unicast, the PUCCH-Config is applied to all G-RNTIs with ACK/NACK based feedback with the same priority on a given serving cell.

·        Note: The dl-DataToUL-ACK is included in PUCCH-Config

Agreement

At least for ACK/NACK based feedback, for obtaining a transmission power for a PUCCH, for Type-2 codebook,  is determined as follows:

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 16th,

Agreement

·        For PTM retransmission,

o   if UE is configured to enable/disable HARQ-ACK per group-common DCI indication for initial transmission, whether HARQ-ACK is enabled/disabled for PTM retransmission also follows the indication in the group-common DCI scheduling the PTM retransmission.

o   if UE is configured directly whether the HARQ-ACK is enabled/disabled, it applies to both PTM initial transmission and retransmission.

·        For PTP retransmission, the HARQ-ACK is always enabled.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 18th,

Agreement

Support enabling/disabling HARQ-ACK for NACK-only based feedback.

·        The relevant agreements made for ACK/NACK based feedback can be extended for the support of NACK-only, including:

o   RRC signalling configures the presence of the field “enabling/disabling HARQ-ACK feedback indication” in the group-common DCI and the configuration is per G-RNTI.

o   RRC signalling configures directly whether the HARQ-ACK feedback is enabled or disabled and the configuration is per G-RNTI.

Agreement

HARQ-ACK feedback option is configured per G-CS-RNTI.

R1-2112592        FL summary#4 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Nov 19th GTW session

Agreement

For group-common DCI indicating whether ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback is enabled/disabled, the “enabling/disabling HARQ-ACK feedback indication” is included in DCI format 1_1 scrambled by G-RNTI

·        For DCI format 1_1 scrambled by G-CS-RNTI, it is discussed separately.

Agreement

For the DCI format including the field of “enabling/disabling HARQ-ACK feedback indication” for multicast scheduling, the field is a new field with 1 bit.

 

Agreement

For multicast SPS PDSCH without PDCCH scheduling, support the following:

·        RRC signalling configures the presence of the field “enabling/disabling HARQ-ACK feedback indication” in the group-common DCI for multicast SPS activation.

o   The configuration is per G-CS-RNTI.

o   Separate UE capability is needed from that for dynamic scheduling for multicast.

·        RRC signalling configures directly whether the HARQ-ACK feedback is enabled or disabled.

o   The configuration is per G-CS-RNTI.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 19th,

Agreement

For the Type-1 codebook construction for FDM-ed unicast and multicast via Opt 4 (from the previous agreement), when UE is configured with multiple G-RNTIs and UE is configured with fdmed-Reception-Multicast, the sub-codebook for multicast consists of the sub-codebooks for each G-RNTI by appending one to another in ascending order of G-RNTI value.

·        The sub-codebook for each G-RNTI is generated per the k1 and TDRA configurations for the same G-RNTI as the legacy procedure.

·        FFS: whether/how to reduce the Type-1 codebook size when multiple G-RNTIs are configured.

·        Note: The maximum number of G-RNTI(s) configured to UE for the FDMed unicast and multicast Type-1 codebook is up to UE capability which will be discussed in UE features.

The definition of the broadcast CFR frequency resources reuses the legacy definition of BWP frequency resources for unicast using the combination of Point A, offsetToCarrier and locationAndBandwidth to indicate the exact location of the CFR with respect to the carrier starting RB.

·        Note: for Case A and Case C, the above parameters (Point A, offsetToCarrier and locationAndBandwidth) can be derived from the configurations in MIB and SIB1, respectively.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Nov 18th,

Agreement

For RRC_IDLE/INACTIVE UEs, for slot-level repetition for MTCH, support:

·        (Config A) UE can be configured with pdsch-AggregationFactor per G-RNTI, applied to DCI format 1_0 with the G-RNTI.

·        (Config B) UE can be configured with TDRA table with repetitionNumber as part of the TDRA table in PDSCH-Config-Broadcast

·        If UE is configured with Config B, UE does not expect to be configured with Config A for the same GC-PDSCH.

Agreement

The following agreements for RRC_CONECTED UEs also apply for broadcast reception with UEs in RRC_IDLE/ RRC_INACTIVE states, with the following updates:

 

Agreement:

For LBRM and TBS determination for GC-PDSCH:

·        The maximum number of layers can be provided by maxMIMO-Layers in PDSCH-Config for MBS in CFR; if not provided, a default value is defined.

o    FFS the default value.

·        The maximum modulation order can be determined from mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for MBS in CFR;

o    FFS: if mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for MBS is not configured in CFR, a value determined from mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for unicast in the active DL BWP is used; if the mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for unicast is not configured, Table 5.1.3.1-1 in TS38.214 is used (similar as the default value in R16).

·        xOverhead can be provided in PDSCH-Config for MBS in CFR; if not provided, a default value of zero is used.

·        The number of PRBs is determined based on the size of CFR.

Agreement:

For LBRM and TBS determination for GC-PDSCH, the default value of the maximum number of layers is 1 if maxMIMO-Layers in PDSCH-Config for MBS in CFR is not configured.

 

Agreement:

For determination of maximum modulation order for LBRM and TBS determination for GC-PDSCH,

·        if mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for MBS is not configured in CFR, Table 5.1.3.1-1 in TS38.214 is used (similar as the default value in R16).

For LBRM and TBS determination for GC-PDSCH for broadcast reception:

·        the maximum number of layers is 1

·        the maximum modulation order can be determined from mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config for broadcast.

·        If mcs-Table in PDSCH-Config is not configured in CFR for broadcast, Table 5.1.3.1-1 in TS38.214 is used.

R1-2200595        Summary#1 on mechanisms to support group scheduling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs for NR MBS      Moderator (CMCC)

From Jan 18th GTW session

Agreement

DCI format 4_2 doesn’t include the following fields:

·        Scell dormancy indication

·        BWP indicator

DCI format 4_2 includes the following field (configurable):

·        MCS/NDI/RV for TB2

Agreement

DCI format 4_2 includes ‘ZP CSI-RS trigger’ field.

 

Agreement

For DCI size alignment of DCI format 4_2, the size of DCI format 4_2 is configured by RRC signaling for RRC_CONNECTED UEs (similar as the configuration for the size alignment among DCI format 2_0/2_1/2_4/2_5/2_6).

 

Conclusion

For multicast of RRC_CONNECTED UEs, the value range of sps-ConfigIndex in SPS-Config-Multicast is {0-7}, and sps-ConfigIndex in sps-Config and SPS-Config-Multicast cannot be configured with the same value.

Decision: As per email decision posted on Jan 21st,

Agreement

The TP below for Clause 10.1 in TS 38.213v17.0.0 is endorsed.

----------------- Start of TP ----------------

10.1         UE procedure for determining physical downlink control channel assignment

<Unchanged text is omitted>

A UE does not expect to detect, in a same PDCCH monitoring occasion, a DCI format with CRC scrambled by a SI-RNTI, RA-RNTI, MsgB-RNTI, TC-RNTI, P-RNTI, C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-RNTI, MCCH-RNTI, G-RNTI, or G-CS-RNTI and a DCI format with CRC scrambled by a SL-RNTI or a SL-CS-RNTI for scheduling respective PDSCH reception and PSSCH transmission on a same serving cell.

<Unchanged text is omitted>

----------------- End of TP ----------------

 

Agreement

The TP below for Clause 5.1.2.2 in TS 38.214v17.0.0 is endorsed.

----------------- Start of TP ----------------

5.1.2.2     Resource allocation in frequency domain

<Unchanged text is omitted>

Two downlink resource allocation schemes, type 0 and type 1, are supported. The UE shall assume that when the scheduling grant is received with DCI format 1_0, DCI format 4_0 or DCI format 4_1, then downlink resource allocation type 1 is used.

If the scheduling DCI is configured to indicate the downlink resource allocation type as part of the 'Frequency domain resource assignment' field by setting a higher layer parameter resourceAllocation in PDSCH-Config to 'dynamicSwitch', for DCI format 1_1 or setting a higher layer parameter resourceAllocationDCI-1-2 in PDSCH-Config to 'dynamicSwitch' for DCI format 1_2 or setting a higher layer parameter resourceAllocation in PDSCH-Config-Multicast to  'dynamicSwitch' for DCI format 4_2, the UE shall use downlink resource allocation type 0 or type 1 as defined by this DCI field. Otherwise the UE shall use the downlink frequency resource allocation type as defined by the higher layer parameter resourceAllocation in PDSCH-Config for DCI format 1_1 or by the higher layer parameter resourceAllocationDCI-1-2 for DCI format 1_2 or by the higher layer parameter resourceAllocation in PDSCH-Config-Multicast for DCI format 4_2.

<Unchanged text is omitted>

----------------- End of TP ----------------

 

Agreement

The TP below for Clause 5.1.2.3 in TS 38.214v17.0.0 is endorsed.

----------------- Start of TP ----------------

<Unchanged text is omitted>

The PRB bundling procedures for PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 1_1 described in this clause equally apply to PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 1_2, by applying the parameters of prb-BundlingTypeDCI-1-2 instead of prb-BundlingType as well as vrb-ToPRB-InterleaverDCI-1-2 instead of vrb-ToPRB-Interleaver. The PRB bundling procedures for PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 1_1 described in this clause equally apply to PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 4_2, by applying the parameters of prb-BundlingType given by PDSCH-Config-Multicast as well as vrb-ToPRB-Interleaver given by PDSCH-Config-Multicast.

A UE may assume that precoding granularity is  consecutive resource blocks in the frequency domain.  can be equal to one of the values among {2, 4, wideband}.

If  is determined as "wideband", the UE is not expected to be scheduled with non-contiguous PRBs and the UE may assume that the same precoding is applied to the allocated resource associated with a same TCI state or a same QCL assumption.

<Unchanged text is omitted>

----------------- End of TP ----------------

 

Agreement

For DMRS of GC-PDSCH,

·        For GC-PDSCH scheduled by a DCI format 4_0/4_1, the UE assumes dmrs-AdditionalPosition = ‘pos2’, similar as that of DCI format 1_0.

·        For GC-PDSCH scheduled by a DCI format 4_2, the UE assumes dmrs-AdditionalPosition in DMRS-Config if configured in PDSCH-Config-Multicast, similar as that of DCI format 1_1.

·        Adopt the following TP for Clause 5.1.6.2 in TS 38.214:

----------------- Start of TP ----------------

5.1.6.2     DM-RS reception procedure

<Unchanged text is omitted>

The DM-RS reception procedures for PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 1_1 described in this clause equally apply to PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 1_2, by applying the parameters of dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA-DCI-1-2 and dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB-DCI-1-2 instead of dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA and dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB.

 

The DM-RS reception procedures for PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 1_1 described in this clause equally apply to PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with DCI format 4_2, by applying the parameters of dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA and dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB in PDSCH-Config-Multicast instead of dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA and dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB in PDSCH-Config.

 

When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, 4_0, 4_1 or receiving PDSCH before dedicated higher layer configuration of any of the parameters dmrs-AdditionalPosition, maxLength and dmrs-Type, the UE shall assume that the PDSCH is not present in any symbol carrying DM-RS except for PDSCH with allocation duration of 2 symbols with PDSCH mapping type B (described in clause 7.4.1.1.2 of [4, TS 38.211]), and a single symbol front-loaded DM-RS of configuration type 1 on DM-RS port 1000 is transmitted, and that all the remaining orthogonal antenna ports are not associated with transmission of PDSCH to another UE and in addition

-    For PDSCH with mapping type A and type B, the UE shall assume dmrs-AdditionalPosition='pos2' and up to two additional single-symbol DM-RS present in a slot according to the PDSCH duration indicated in the DCI as defined in Clause 7.4.1.1 of [4, TS 38.211], and

-    For PDSCH with allocation duration of 2 symbols with mapping type B, the UE shall assume that the PDSCH is present in the symbol carrying DM-RS.

When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_1 by PDCCH with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, or CS-RNTI or DCI format 4_2 by PDCCH with CRC scrambled by G-RNTI or G-CS-RNTI,

-    the UE may be configured with the higher layer parameter dmrs-Type, and the configured DM-RS configuration type is used for receiving PDSCH in as defined in Clause 7.4.1.1 of [4, TS 38.211].

-    the UE may be configured with the maximum number of front-loaded DM-RS symbols for PDSCH by higher layer parameter maxLength given by DMRS-DownlinkConfig.

-    if maxLength is set to 'len1', single-symbol DM-RS can be scheduled for the UE by DCI, and the UE can be configured with a number of additional DM-RS for PDSCH by higher layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition, which can be set to 'pos0', 'pos1', 'pos2' or 'pos3'.

-    if maxLength is set to 'len2', both single-symbol DM-RS and double symbol DM-RS can be scheduled for the UE by DCI, and the UE can be configured with a number of additional DM-RS for PDSCH by higher layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition, which can be set to 'pos0' or 'pos1'.

-    and the UE shall assume to receive additional DM-RS as specified in Table 7.4.1.1.2-3 and Table 7.4.1.1.2-4 as described in Clause 7.4.1.1.2 of [4, TS 38.211].

<Unchanged text is omitted>

When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, 4_0, 4_1, the UE shall assume the number of DM-RS CDM groups without data is 1 which corresponds to CDM group 0 for the case of PDSCH with allocation duration of 2 symbols, and the UE shall assume that the number of DM-RS CDM groups without data is 2 which corresponds to CDM group {0,1} for all other cases.

<Unchanged text is omitted>

----------------- End of TP ----------------

 

Agreement

For PDSCH scheduled by a DCI format 4_1/4_2, the UE assumes phaseTrackingRS in dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA or dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB configured in PDSCH-Config-Multicast.

·         Adopt the following TP for Clause 5.1.6.3 in TS 38.214:

----------------- Start of TP ----------------

5.1.6.3     PT-RS reception procedure

5.1           UE procedure for receiving the physical downlink shared channel

<Unchanged text is omitted>

A UE shall upon detection of a PDCCH with a configured DCI format 1_0, 1_1, 4_0, 4_1, 4_2 or 1_2 decode the corresponding PDSCHs as indicated by that DCI. For any HARQ process ID(s) in a given scheduled cell, the UE is not expected to receive a PDSCH that overlaps in time with another PDSCH. The UE is not expected to receive another PDSCH for a given HARQ process until after the end of the expected transmission of HARQ-ACK for that HARQ process, where the timing is given by Clause 9.2.3 of [6]. Except for the case when a UE is configured by higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config that contains two different values of coresetPoolIndex in ControlResourceSet and PDCCHs that schedule two PDSCHs are associated to different ControlResourceSets having different values of coresetPoolIndex, in a given scheduled cell, the UE is not expected to receive a first PDSCH and a second PDSCH, starting later than the first PDSCH, with its corresponding HARQ-ACK assigned to be transmitted on a resource ending before the start of a different resource for the HARQ-ACK assigned to be transmitted for the first PDSCH, where the two resources are in different slots for the associated HARQ-ACK transmissions, each slot is composed of symbols [4] or a number of symbols indicated by subslotLengthForPUCCH if provided, and the HARQ-ACK for the two PDSCHs are associated with the HARQ-ACK codebook of the same priority. Except for the case when a UE is configured by higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config that contains two different values of coresetPoolIndex in ControlResourceSet and PDCCHs that schedule two PDSCHs are associated to different ControlResourceSets having different values of coresetPoolIndex, in a given scheduled cell, the UE is not expected to receive a first PDSCH, and a second PDSCH, starting later than the first PDSCH, with its corresponding HARQ-ACK assigned to be transmitted on a resource ending before the start of a different resource for the HARQ-ACK assigned to be transmitted for the first PDSCH if the HARQ-ACK for the two PDSCHs are associated with HARQ-ACK codebooks of different priorities. For any two HARQ process IDs in a given scheduled cell, if the UE is scheduled to start receiving a first PDSCH starting in symbol j by a PDCCH ending in symbol i, the UE is not expected to be scheduled to receive a PDSCH starting earlier than the end of the first PDSCH with a PDCCH that ends later than symbol i. In a given scheduled cell, for any PDSCH corresponding to SI-RNTI, the UE is not expected to decode a re-transmission of an earlier PDSCH with a starting symbol less than N symbols after the last symbol of that PDSCH, where the value of N depends on the PDSCH subcarrier spacing configuration m, with N=13 for m=0, N=13 for m=1, N=20 for m=2, and N=24 for m=3.

[107bis-e-R17-MBS-04] – Jinhuan (Huawei)

Email discussion on feasibility check of MBS broadcast reception on SCell and non-serving cell by January 25, for response to :

R1-2200009        LS on MBS broadcast reception on SCell and non-serving cell         RAN2, Huawei

R1-2200740        FL summary#1 on MBS broadcast reception on SCell and non-serving cell               Moderator (Huawei)

R1-2200769        FL summary#2 on MBS broadcast reception on SCell and non-serving cell               Moderator (Huawei)

From Jan 24th GTW session

Agreement

From RAN1 perspective, it is feasible for UE in RRC_CONNECTED state to receive MBS broadcast on an activated SCell as long as UE has capability of supporting MBS broadcast on SCell. From RAN1 perspective, if a UE is to receive MBS broadcast on SCell,

·        The capability of supporting MBS broadcast on SCell is separate capability from the one of CA for unicast.

·        The UE is not required to monitor DCI formats associated with SI-RNTI, P-RNTI, RA-RNTI in SCell.

·        Overbooking for SCell is not supported.

·        MBS broadcast reception on SCell can be supported only for RRC_CONNECTED UEs only with self-scheduling.

·        Type0-PDCCH CSS set is only configured on the primary cell of the MCG.

·        Configuring the search space on SCell for PDCCH monitoring of MBS DCI formats is via unicast RRC signaling.

·        The UE capability is expected to be defined by RAN2.

o   E.g. the total number of component carriers for receiving broadcast on SCell may be subject to UE capability

·        The UE is not required to receive broadcast on PCell and SCell simultaneously

Agreement

From RAN1 perspective, it is feasible for UE in RRC_CONNECTED state to receive MBS broadcast on non-serving cell, which is up to UE implementation and transparent to the network.

·        It is assumed in RAN1 that UE receiving MBS broadcast on non-serving cell does not have any impact to operation on serving cell(s), e.g., does not require UE to obtain the related configuration from the serving cell, does not require the network to guarantee the scheduling doesn’t exceed UE’s capability on serving cell, etc.

·        RAN1 assumes that receiving MBS broadcast on non-serving cell could be on the same or on a different band, but on a different carrier frequency than a UE’s serving cell

·        No RAN1 spec impact and no optimization is pursued in Rel-17 for MBS broadcast reception on non-serving cell.

·        The UE capability(ies), if any, is(are) expected to be defined by RAN2.

The TP below for TS38.213v17.0.0 section 18 is endorsed

<Unchanged text is omitted>

If a UE is provided pucch-Config-Multicast1 or pucch-Config-Multicast2 for PUCCH transmissions with a priority value, the UE transmits a PUCCH with the priority value according to pucch-Config-Multicast1 or pucch-Config-Multicast2 for each G-RNTI or G-CS-RNTI that the UE provides associated HARQ-ACK information according to the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode or second HARQ-ACK reporting mode.

Agreement

The TP below for TS38.213v17.0.0 section 18 is endorsed

<Unchanged text is omitted>

A UE monitors PDCCH for scheduling PDSCH receptions or for activation/release of SPS PDSCH receptions for a corresponding SPS PDSCH configuration as described in clause 10.1. A UE can be configured by harq-Feedback-Option-Multicast for a G-RNTI or by sps-HARQ-Feedback-Option-Multicast for a G-CS-RNTI to provide HARQ-ACK information for a transport block reception associated with the G-RNTI or with the G-CS-RNTI, respectively, according to the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode or according to the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode. The second HARQ-ACK reporting mode is not applicable for DCI formats having associated HARQ-ACK information without scheduling a PDSCH reception. For the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode, the UE generates HARQ-ACK information with ACK value when a UE correctly decodes a transport block or detects a DCI format indicating an SPS PDSCH release; otherwise, the UE generates HARQ-ACK information with NACK value, as described in clauses 9 and 9.1 through 9.3. For the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode, the UE does not transmit a PUCCH that would include only HARQ-ACK information with ACK values.

18            Multicast Broadcast Services

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

A UE determines a PUCCH resource for a PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information as described in clauses 9.2 and 9.2.1 through 9.2.5. If the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information associated with unicast DCI formats and HARQ-ACK information associated with multicast DCI formats in a same PUCCH, the last DCI format that the UE uses to determine the PUCCH resource, as described in clause 9.2.3, is a last unicast DCI format.

A UE is not required to multiplex in a PUCCH multicast HARQ-ACK and unicast UCI of the same priority if the UE is provided subslotLengthForPUCCH for the PUCCH with the unicast UCI.

 

Agreement

When HARQ-ACK for unicast SPS PDSCHs and multicast SPS PDSCHs with ACK/NACK based feedback are multiplexed on the same PUCCH for the same priority case, the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from the SPS-PUCCH-AN-List configured for unicast.

 

Agreement

When HARQ-ACK for unicast SPS PDSCHs and multicast dynamic grant PDSCHs with ACK/NACK based feedback are multiplexed on the same PUCCH for the same priority case, down-select from:

·        Option 1: the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from the SPS-PUCCH-AN-List configured for unicast.

·        Option 2: the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for multicast.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Jan 25th,

Agreement

For the separate PUCCH-Config/ PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured to UE for NACK-only based feedback,

·        1 PUCCH resource set in each PUCCH-Config.

·        up to 32 PUCCH resources in PUCCH resource set

·        Note: the separate PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList applies to all configured G-RNTIs configured with NACK-only based feedback.

Agreement

Support pdsch-AggregationFactor configured in PDSCH-Config-Multicast for DCI formats 4_0/4_1, similar as that of DCI format 4_2. The TP below for TS38.214v17.0.0 section 5.1.2.1 is endorsed:

When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 4_0/4_1/4_2 in PDCCH with CRC scrambled by G-RNTI or G-CS-RNTI with NDI=1, if the UE is configured with pdsch-AggregationFactor in the pdsch-Config-Multicast associated with the corresponding G-RNTI or in the associated SPS-Config-Multicast activated by the DCI format 4_0/4_1/4_2 with CRC scrambled by G-CS-RNTI, the same symbol allocation is applied across the pdsch-AggregationFactor consecutive slots. When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 4_0/4_1/4_2 for multicast reception in PDCCH with CRC scrambled by G-CS-RNTI with NDI = 0, or PDSCH without corresponding PDCCH transmission using associated [SPS-Config-Multicast] and activated by the DCI format 4_0/4_1/4_2 in PDCCH with CRC scrambled by G-CS-RNTI, the same symbol allocation is applied across the pdsch-AggregationFactor, in associated SPS-Config-Multicast if configured, or 1 otherwise, consecutive slots. When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 4_0 in PDCCH with CRC scrambled by G-RNTI for MTCH, if the UE is configured with pdsch-AggregationFactor in the pdsch-Config-Broadcast, the same symbol allocation is applied across the pdsch-AggregationFactor consecutive slots.

When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI in PDCCH with CRC scrambled by G-CS-RNTI for multicast reception or G-RNTI, if the DCI field 'Time domain resource assignment' indicates an entry which contains repetitionNumber in PDSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocation in the PDSCH-Config-Multicast or PDSCH-Config-Broadcast, the same SLIV is applied for all PDSCH transmission occasions across the repetitionNumber consecutive slots. When receiving PDSCH scheduled without corresponding PDCCH transmission using associated SPS-Config-Multicast and activated by DCI in PDCCH with CRC scrambled by G-CS-RNTI for multicast reception, if the DCI field 'Time domain resource assignment' of the activating DCI indicates an entry which contains repetitionNumber in PDSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocation in the PDSCH-Config-Multicast, the same SLIV is applied for all PDSCH transmission occasions across the repetitionNumber consecutive slots.

Agreement

When UE is configured with unicast SPS and multicast SPS with ACK/NACK based feedback for multiplexing on the same PUCCH for the same priority case, the HARQ-ACK codebook is constructed as for multiple SPS PDSCHs regardless of unicast SPS PDSCH or multicast SPS PDSCH.

 

Agreement

When HARQ-ACK for multicast dynamic grant PDSCHs and multicast SPS PDSCHs with ACK/NACK based feedback are multiplexed on the same PUCCH for the same priority case, the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for multicast.

Additional HARQ process(es) is(are) not introduced for Rel-17 MBS broadcast reception on serving cell.

·        Note: The UE is not expected to support hardware for more HARQ processes for receiving broadcast in Rel-17 in addition to the maximum number of HARQ processes supported for receiving unicast in Rel-16, i.e. the HARQ process resources are shared between broadcast, unicast and multicast

Agreement

If UE supports carrier aggregation for unicast, multicast reception on an activated SCell with self-scheduling is supported subject to UE capability in Rel-17.

·        UE is not expected to be configured simultaneously with more than one component carrier for multicast reception.

·        Cross-carrier scheduling for multicast reception is not supported in Rel-17.

Agreement

Regarding rate matching of GC-PDSCH reception, the UE shall assume that both of indicated resources in clauses 5.1.4.1, 5.1.4.2 and the PRBs containing SS/PBCH block transmission resources are not available for the PDSCH scheduled with G-RNTI for multicast.

·        Adopt the following TP for Clause 5.1.4 of TS38.214

----------------- Start of TP ----------------

5.1.4               PDSCH resource mapping

<Unchanged text is omitted>

When receiving the PDSCH scheduled with SI-RNTI and the system information indicator in DCI is set to 0, the UE shall assume that no SS/PBCH block is transmitted in REs used by the UE for a reception of the PDSCH.

When receiving the PDSCH scheduled with SI-RNTI and the system information indicator in DCI is set to 1, RA-RNTI, MSGB-RNTI, P-RNTI or TC-RNTI, the UE assumes SS/PBCH block transmission according to ssb-PositionsInBurst, and if the PDSCH resource allocation overlaps with PRBs containing SS/PBCH block transmission resources the UE shall assume that the PRBs containing SS/PBCH block transmission resources are not available for PDSCH in the OFDM symbols where SS/PBCH block is transmitted.

A UE expects a configuration provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in ServingCellConfigCommon to be same as a configuration provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1.

When receiving PDSCH scheduled by PDCCH with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, G-RNTI for multicast or PDSCHs with SPS, the REs corresponding to the configured or dynamically indicated resources in Clauses 5.1.4.1, 5.1.4.2 are not available for PDSCH. Furthermore, the UE assumes SS/PBCH block transmission according to ssb-PositionsInBurst if the PDSCH resource allocation overlaps with PRBs containing SS/PBCH block transmission resources, and the UE shall assume that the PRBs containing SS/PBCH block transmission resources are not available for PDSCH in the OFDM symbols where SS/PBCH block is transmitted.

For a scheduled cell and at any time, if a UE is provided a C-RNTI, athe UE expects to have received at most 16 PDCCHs for DCI formats with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, G-RNTI, G-CS-RNTI or MCS-C-RNTI scheduling 16 PDSCH receptions for which the UE has not received any corresponding PDSCH symbol and at most 16 PDCCHs for DCI formats with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, or MCS-C-RNTI scheduling 16 PUSCH transmissions for which the UE has not transmitted any corresponding PUSCH symbol.

<Unchanged text is omitted>

----------------- End of TP ----------------

 

Agreement

Send the LS reply with the following answer to Q1 from the incoming LS (R1-2202727):

·        From RAN1 perspective, UE receiving SIBx directly from SCell via BCCH is not feasible since it is legacy procedure that UE is not required to monitor DCI formats associated with SI-RNTI, P-RNTI, RA-RNTI in SCell. Such procedure is expected to be unchanged because of the impact to RAN1 specifications and UE implementation.

Agreement

Send the LS reply with the following answer to Q2 from the incoming LS (R1-2202727):

·        From RAN1 perspective, UE can receive MCCH directly from SCell and there is no need to provide MCCH to UE with dedicated signalling. There is no dependency between SIBx reception method for SCell (i.e. directly reading from SCell vs. dedicated RRC signalling) and MCCH provision method (i.e. dedicated signalling vs. directly reading from SCell).

Agreement

Update the previous agreement for p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet as below:

For multicast RRC_CONNECTED UEs, p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet can be configured in PDSCH-Config-Multicast for GC-PDSCH rate matching, subject to UE capability. For PDSCH resource mapping with RE symbol level granularity,

·        the REs indicated by p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet configured in PDSCH-Config-Multicast are declared as not available for GC-PDSCH.

·        p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet configured in PDSCH-Config for unicast do not apply for GC-PDSCHs.

·        p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet in PDSCH-Config-Multicast for multicast do not apply for unicast PDSCHs.

·        The total number of periodic ZP-CSI-RS-Resources p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet that a UE can be configured with is the same as for unicast in Rel-16

o   If p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet is configured in both PDSCH-Config and PDSCH-Config-Multicast, it is subject to UE capability whether the p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet configured in PDSCH-Config-Multicast can be different from the p-ZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet configured in PDSCH-Config.

Also include this agreement in an LS to RAN2.

Conclusion

No TP is needed to reflect the RAN1 agreement of the FDMed Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook for more than one configured G-RNTI,

·        Note: it means the following RAN1 agreement is updated as follows, to align with further agreements made in RAN1:

Agreement

For the Type-1 codebook construction for FDM-ed unicast and multicast via Opt 4 (from the previous agreement), when UE is configured with multiple G-RNTIs and UE is configured with fdmed-Reception-Multicast, the sub-codebook for multicast consists of the HARQ-ACK bits for all configured G-RNTIsthe sub-codebooks for each G-RNTI by appending one to another in ascending order of G-RNTI value.

The sub-codebook for each G-RNTI is generated per the k1 and TDRA configurations for the same G-RNTI as the legacy procedure.

FFS: whether/how to reduce the Type-1 codebook size when multiple G-RNTIs are configured.

Note: The maximum number of G-RNTI(s) configured to UE for the FDMed unicast and multicast Type-1 codebook is up to UE capability which will be discussed in UE features.

 

Agreement

For supporting more than one NACK-only feedback in the same PUCCH transmission, define RRC configuration to configure between Alt1 and Alt4 (from previous agreements):

·        Alt1: Support UE multiplexing the HARQ-ACK bits by transforming NACK-only into ACK/NACK HARQ bits.

o   FFS: how to determine PUCCH resource

·        Alt4: Define combination of NACK-only which corresponds to a specific sequence or a PUCCH transmission.

o   define up to 15 orthogonal PUCCH resources to select from according to combinations of up to 4 TBs with NACK-only feedback,

§  FFS: The PUCCH slot for the transmission is based on the K1 in the “last DCI” scheduling multicast.

§  FFS: The PUCCH resource for the transmission is from PUCCH-config configured for NACK-only based feedback according to the mapping between number of TBs with PUCCH resource ID.

·        FFS mapping details.

·        How to determine the number of TBs is discussed separately, e.g., Type-1-like and/or Type-2-like codebook.

§  FFS: whether this applies to a single G-RNTI or multiple G-RNTIs

o   Alt4 is not supported for more than 4 TBs

·        FFS: whether RRC configuration between Alt1 and Alt4 is per G-RNTI or per CFR

·        FFS: UE capability

 

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Feb 25th,

Agreement

When HARQ-ACK for unicast SPS PDSCHs and multicast dynamic grant PDSCHs with ACK/NACK based feedback are multiplexed on the same PUCCH for the same priority case, the following option 1 (from the previous agreement) is adopted:

·        Option 1: the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from the SPS-PUCCH-AN-List configured for unicast.

·        Option 2: the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for multicast.

Agreement

When NACK-only based HARQ-ACK feedback is used for multicast SPS PDSCH without PDCCH scheduling, the UE determines a priority index from the HARQ-ACK codebook index in the configuration for SPS multicast, using the same method with the one for ACK/NACK based feedback.

 

Agreement

When UE is configured with unicast SPS and multicast SPS with NACK-only based feedback for multiplexing on the same PUCCH for the same priority case, NACK only based HARQ-ACK is transformed to ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK.

·        For NACK only based HARQ-ACK transformed to ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK, the HARQ-ACK codebook is constructed as for multiple SPS PDSCHs regardless of unicast SPS PDSCH or multicast SPS PDSCH and the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from the SPS-PUCCH-AN-List configured for unicast, as agreed for ACK/NACK based feedback.

 

R1-2202578        FL summary#3 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From Feb 28th GTW session

Agreement

Regarding RRC configuring Alt1 or Alt4 (from the previous agreement) for multiplexing more than one NACK-only in the same PUCCH transmission, the configuration is per CFR.

 

Agreement

If Type-1 codebook is configured for both multicast and unicast, at least for single cell case for both unicast and multicast:

·         If the UE is configured to construct the HARQ-ACK codebooks for unicast and multicast jointly, a single UL DAI bit applies for unicast and multicast

·         Otherwise, 1 additional bit UL DAI is included for multicast in DCI format 0_1/0_2, in addition to the UL DAI for unicast. The 1-bit UL DAI for multicast is applied to all configured G-RNTIs.

o    FFS: additional restrictions

 

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Mar 1st,

Agreement

When PUCCH transmission for the NACK-only based feedback for one G-RNTI collides with PUCCH transmission for ACK/NACK feedback for another G-RNTI with the same priority, support UE multiplexing the NACK-only based feedback with the ACK/NACK feedback onto the same PUCCH by transforming NACK-only into the ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK bit.

·        Note: When the TB configured with NACK-only feedback is correctly decoded, the ACK will be transmitted and multiplexed with others.

Agreement

For multiplexing NACK-only feedback for the first G-RNTI with ACK/NACK based feedback for the second G-RNTI or for unicast, down-select from:

·        Alt1: the converted NACK-only bits are concatenated to the ACK/NACK feedback.

·        Alt2: the codebook construction/concatenation is the same as when the feedback mode is ‘ACK/NACK’ for both G-RNTIs.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Mar 2nd,

Agreement

When UE is configured with enhanced Type-2 codebook for unicast and when the UE is scheduled to multiplex enhanced Type-2 HARQ-ACK for unicast with Type-1 or Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook for multicast in the same PUCCH slot,

·        UE generates separate sub-codebooks for unicast and multicast respectively and appends the multicast HARQ-ACK sub-codebook to the unicast HARQ-ACK sub-codebook.

Agreement

For the following two cases, the fallback operation for the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook for multicast is applied to G-RNTI/G-CS-RNTI configured with HARQ-ACK enabled only,

·        a SPS PDSCH release indicated by DCI format 4_1 with counter DAI field value of 1,

·        a PDSCH reception scheduled by DCI format 4_1 with counter DAI field value of 1 on the PCell,

·        SPS PDSCH reception(s) associated with G-CS-RNTIs.

Note: If the UE receives two SPS PDSCH releases for two respective G-CS-RNTIs with DAI=1, or two PDSCHs by DCI 4_1 with DAI=1 for two respective G-RNTIs on the PCell, there is no fallback.

From Mar 2nd GTW session

Agreement

For Type-1 codebook generation, if all configured G-RNTIs are with HARQ-ACK disabled by RRC signalling, UE does not report any HARQ-ACK information in the PUCCH slot;

·        For other cases, FFS between the 3 alternatives below:

o   Alt1: if at least one configured G-RNTI is with HARQ-ACK enabled, UE will report NACK for the G-RNTI with HARQ-ACK disabled regardless of decoding results of corresponding PDSCH.

o   Alt2: if at least one configured G-RNTI is with HARQ-ACK enabled, UE reports actual HARQ-ACK result for all G-RNTIs.

o   Alt3: UE is not expected to be configured with some G-RNTI with HARQ-ACK disabled by RRC signalling and some other G-RNTI with HARQ-ACK enabled by RRC signalling for all configured G-RNTI

o   Other alternatives are not precluded

From Mar 3rd GTW session

Agreement

If Type-2 codebook is configured for unicast and multicast, the following option2-2 (from the previous agreement) is adopted:

·        Option2-2: 2-bit UL DAI(s) are included in DCI for multicast, in addition to the 2-bit UL DAI for unicast.

o   The 2-bit UL DAI for multicast is applied for all configured G-RNTIs.

§  FFS: how to count the total number of HARQ-ACK bits for all configured G-RNTIs.

·        Alt1-1: UL-DAI indicates the sum of DL-DAIs

·        Alt1-2: DL-DAIs have the same value.

·        Alt1-3: largest DL DAI value among the configured G-RNTIs.

·        Other alternatives are not precluded

Agreement

When Type-1 codebook is configured for unicast and Type-2 codebook is configured for multicast, or when Type-2 codebook is configured for unicast and Type-1 codebook is configured for multicast, the UL-DAI for multicast is included in DCI format 0_1/0_2, in addition to the UL-DAI field for unicast.

·        The UL-DAI for multicast is 1-bit for Type-1 codebook

o   The 1-bit UL-DAI for multicast is applied to all configured G-RNTIs.

§  Alt1-3: largest DL DAI value among the configured G-RNTIs.

§  Other alternatives are not precluded

·        FFS: details of the UL DAI field

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on Mar 3rd,

Agreement

For NACK-only feedback for PUCCH format 0 or format 1, only 1 cyclic shift is used.

·      The sequence cyclic shift for NACK-only is .

·      For PF1 NACK-only, set .

·        Note: the initialCyclicShift is configured for PUCCH-format0 and PUCCH-format1 as legacy.

Agreement

For multiplexing NACK-only with HARQ-ACK feedback/CSI for unicast for the same priority or PUSCH transmission for the same priority or ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast with another G-RNTI for the same priority, the multiplexing does not depend on the decoding result.

·        Note: when multiplexing the NACK-only is transformed into ACK/NACK as agreed.

Agreement

For Type-2 codebook generation, UE reports HARQ-ACK bits only for TBs with enabled HARQ-ACK by RRC or DCI.

 

Agreement

For multiplexing NACK-only feedback for the first G-RNTI with ACK/NACK based feedback for the second G-RNTI or for unicast, the following Alt2 (from the previous agreement) is adopted:

·        Alt1: the converted NACK-only bits are concatenated to the ACK/NACK feedback.

·        Alt2: the codebook construction/concatenation is the same as when the feedback mode is ‘ACK/NACK’ for both G-RNTIs.

Agreement

If a UE supports ACK/NACK based feedback for dynamic multicast scheduling and for multicast SPS, and if the UE is configured with ACK/NACK based feedback for multicast dynamic scheduling and is configured with disabled HARQ feedback for multicast SPS scheduling, for Type-1 codebook generation,

·        FFS between the 3 4 alternatives below:

R1-2205155        FL summary#1 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From May 11th GTW session

Agreement

For the 2-bit UL-DAI for multicast indicating the total number of Type-2 HARQ-ACK bits multiplexed in PUSCH, UE generates the Type-2 HARQ-ACK sub-codebook for each G-RNTI per the UL-DAI and concatenates all the sub-codebooks in the ascending order of G-RNTI value.

·         If the 2-bit UL-DAI field for multicast has the value of  and the UE has not received any PDCCH within the monitoring occasions with DCI format 4_1/4_2, the UE does not multiplex HARQ-ACK information for multicast feedback in the PUSCH transmission.

Agreement

When UE is configured with multiple cells for unicast and Type-1 codebook is configured for both multicast and unicast,

·            if the UE is configured to construct the HARQ-ACK codebooks for unicast and multicast jointly, a single UL DAI bit applies for unicast and multicast;

·            Otherwise, 1 additional bit UL DAI is included for multicast in DCI format 0_1/0_2, in addition to the UL DAI for unicast. The 1-bit UL DAI for multicast is applied to all configured G-RNTIs.

Agreement

For UE configured with NACK-only HARQ-ACK feedback, for Alt4 (from previous agreement), define the mapping between HARQ-ACK values and the PUCCH resources for the TBs configured with NACK-only as follows:

·        The mapping is applied to both a single G-RNTI

o   FFS: multiple configured G-RNTIs cases.

·        FFS: how to order the TBs, whether/how to account for missed or non-scheduled TBs

·        FFS whether/how PRI is used for indication.

R1-2205156        FL summary#2 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

From May 16th GTW session

Agreement

For multicast, for addressing how to count and order the HARQ-ACK bits for NACK-only for Alt4:

·     Case 1: when the HARQ-ACK-to-PUCCH mapping table for Alt4 (from previous agreement) is applied to a single G-RNTI (from network and UE perspective)

o  Opt1-1: based on C-DAI included in DL DCI for counting the number of HARQ-ACK bits and for ordering the HARQ-ACK bits.

-      FFS: whether Opt1-1 can also work when different G-RNTIs are used for different UEs

·     Note: other cases are not precluded

 

 

R1-2205157        FL summary#3 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

Decision: As per email decision posted on May 19th,

Agreement

·        For the case when the PUCCH transmission for the NACK-only based feedback for one G-RNTI collides with the PUCCH transmission for ACK/NACK feedback for another G-RNTI with the same priority and then UE multiplexes the NACK-only based feedback with the ACK/NACK feedback onto the same PUCCH by transforming NACK-only into the ACK/NACK based HARQ-ACK bit, the PUCCH resources for transmitting the multiplexed HARQ-ACK bits is from the PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for multicast with ACK/NACK based feedback.

·        For a UE configured with G-RNTI(s) with NACK-only HARQ-ACK feedback, when NACK-only HARQ-ACK bits are transformed into ACK/NACK HARQ-ACK bits, the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the multiplexed HARQ-ACK bits is determined from PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for multicast with ACK/NACK based feedback based on the k1 and the PRI indication in the last DCI scheduling multicast. If PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for multicast with ACK/NACK based feedback is not configured, the PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for unicast is used.

o   FFS: the case NACK-only is for multicast SPS PDSCH only.

Agreement

When the nominal NACK-only PUCCH overlaps with other PUCCH/PUSCH transmission, NACK-only is transformed into ACK/NACK and multiplexed with other PUCCH/PUSCH transmission. Down-select from the following options for the nominal NACK-only PUCCH:

·        Opt1: The nominal NACK-only PUCCH consists of all the symbols from PUCCHs of the NACK-only PUCCH resource set.

·        Opt2: The nominal NACK-only PUCCH starts from the earliest starting symbol of PUCCHs in the NACK-only PUCCH resource set, and ends at the latest ending symbol of PUCCHs in the set.

·        Opt3: The nominal NACK-only PUCCH consists of all the symbols of the PUCCH slot.

·        Opt4: All PUCCHs have the same starting symbol and the same time duration

·        Other options are not precluded, e.g. based on PRI, or based on the number of TBs that will be transmitted in the PUCCH slot

·        Note1: The terminology of the “nominal NACK-only PUCCH” is used for facilitate describing the issue. Up to editor for the specification impact.

·        Note2: The following factors can be considered for down-selection:

o   Up to 12 initial cyclic shifts can be configured to PF0. Up to 12 initial cyclic shifts and up to 7 time domain OCC can be configured to PF1.

o   Up to 32 PUCCHs resources in the resource set are configured for NACK-only.

o   The PUCCH configuration for unicast will be used when the PUCCH is not configured for NACK-only.

Agreement

Regarding the PDSCH and/or PUCCH processing procedure timeline for NACK-only based feedback, further discuss on whether/how to extending the PDSCH and/or PUCCH processing procedure timeline.

·        Note1: The current PDSCH processing procedure timeline defined in clause 5.3 TS38.214 is for ACK/NACK based feedback.

·        Note2: For NACK-only based feedback for more than 1 TB, one possible issue is that the PUCCH resource for NACK-only can only be determined after obtaining the decoding result of all the related PDSCHs for the UE.

Agreement

For Type-1 codebook generation, if at least one configured G-RNTI is with HARQ-ACK enabled by RRC, it is up to UE to report NACK or ACK/NACK for the G-RNTI with HARQ-ACK disabled

·        FFS whether UE needs to generate Type-1 CB, when UE does not detect any DCI for G-RNTI(s) with HARQ-ACK enabled when at least one configured G-RNTI is with HARQ-ACK enabled by RRC.

·        For the PUCCH resource for the codebook transmission,

o   Opt2: PUCCH resource/slot is based on last DCI for a G-RNTI with HARQ-ACK enabled

Agreement

Adopt the following text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 clause 18:

·        Reason for change

o   Specification should be clear and accurate regarding the meaning of “other UCI” for UE multiplexing with NACK-only for multicast.

·        Summary of change

o   Clarify that “other UCI” includes HARQ-ACK information associated with multicast configured with the first HARQACK reporting mode, HARQ-ACK information associated with unicast DCI formats or CSI reports.

·        Consequences if not approved

o   UE behavior may not be determinable for multiplexing NACK-only if the meaning of “other UCI” is unclear from specification.

 

--------------------------------Text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 Starts---------------------------

18            Multicast Broadcast Services

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

If a UE would multiplex HARQ-ACK information that the UE would provide according to the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode with other UCI HARQ-ACK information associated with multicast configured with the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode, HARQ-ACK information associated with unicast DCI formats or CSI reports in a first PUCCH, or in a PUSCH, as described in clauses 9 and 9.2.5, the UE provides the HARQ-ACK information according to the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode. For resolving an overlapping among a second PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information according to the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode and other PUCCHs or PUSCHs prior to multiplexing the HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH or PUSCH, the UE considers that the UE would transmit the second PUCCH when all values of the HARQ-ACK information are 'ACK'.

If a UE is provided multiple G-RNTIs or G-CS-RNTIs, a configuration for a HARQ-ACK codebook type applies to all G-RNTIs or G-CS-RNTIs.

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

--------------------------------Text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 Ends-----------------------------

 

Agreement

Adopt the following text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 clause 18:

·        Reason for change

o   How UE multiplexes NACK-only HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast with only CSI reports is undefined from the latest version of TS 38.213.

·        Summary of change

o   Adding a sentence in clause 18 that “If the first PUCCH includes only CSI reports, the UE multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information as described in clause 9.2.5.2 for HARQ-ACK information that is in response to PDSCH reception without corresponding PDCCH”.

·        Consequences if not approved

o   UE behavior about multiplexing NACK-only HARQ-ACK feedback for multicast with CSI for unicast is unclear.

 

------------------------------Text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 Starts---------------------------------

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

If a UE would multiplex HARQ-ACK information that the UE would provide according to the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode with other UCI in a first PUCCH, or in a PUSCH, as described in clauses 9 and 9.2.5, the UE provides the HARQ-ACK information according to the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode. For resolving an overlapping among a second PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information according to the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode and other PUCCHs or PUSCHs prior to multiplexing the HARQ-ACK information in a PUCCH or PUSCH, the UE considers that the UE would transmit the second PUCCH when all values of the HARQ-ACK information are 'ACK'. If the first PUCCH includes only CSI reports, the UE multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information as described in clause 9.2.5.2 for HARQ-ACK information that is in response to PDSCH reception without corresponding PDCCH.

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

--------------------------------Text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 Ends--------------------------------

 

Agreement

Adopt the following text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 clause 18:

·        Reason for change

o   The latest version of TS38.213 V17.1.0 does not reflect the agreement correctly regarding how to support more than one TB with NACK-only feedback for multicast. In particular, when UE is configured with moreThanOneNackOnly-Mode indicating the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted according to the first HARQ-ACK report mode, the number of TBs with NACK-only can be any number not smaller than one and otherwise the number should be no more than four.

·        Summary of change

o   Deleting “when a number of HARQ-ACK information bits is more than four, or” and “when a number of HARQ-ACK information bits is 2, 3, or 4 more than one,”.

·        Consequences if not approved

o   NACK-only HARQ-ACK feedback for more than four TBs is not supported when UE is configured to transmit the PUCCH according to the first HARQ-ACK report mode.

 

--------------------------------Text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 Starts----------------------------

18            Multicast Broadcast Services

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

For the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode, the UE does not transmit a PUCCH that would include only HARQ-ACK information with ACK values. The second HARQ-ACK reporting mode is not applicable when a number of HARQ-ACK information bits is more than four, or for the first SPS PDSCH reception after activation of SPS PDSCH receptions for a SPS configuration, or for DCI formats having associated HARQ-ACK information without scheduling a PDSCH reception.

For the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode, when a number of HARQ-ACK information bits is one, a UE transmits a PUCCH only when the HARQ-ACK information bit has NACK value. For a PUCCH resource associated with PUCCH format 0, the UE transmits the PUCCH as described in [4, TS 38.211] by obtaining  as described for HARQ-ACK information in clause 9.2.3 and by setting . For a PUCCH resource associated with PUCCH format 1, the UE transmits the PUCCH as described in [4, TS 38.211] by setting .

For the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode, when a number of HARQ-ACK information bits is 2, 3, or 4 more than one, the UE can be indicated by moreThanOneNackOnly-Mode to provide the HARQ-ACK information bits in a PUCCH either according to the first HARQ-ACK reporting mode or by selecting a resource from a set of resources for the PUCCH transmission based on the values of the HARQ-ACK information bits as described in Table 18-1.

If a UE is provided pucch-Config-Multicast1 or pucch-Config-Multicast2 for PUCCH transmissions with a priority value, the UE transmits a PUCCH with the priority value according to pucch-Config-Multicast1 or pucch-Config-Multicast2 for each G-RNTI or G-CS-RNTI that the UE provides associated HARQ-ACK

< Unchanged parts are omitted >

--------------------------------Text proposal to TS38.213 v17.1.0 Ends-----------------------------

 

Agreement

When UE supports and is configured with more than one G-CS-RNTI, for TB retransmissions that are scheduled by G-CS-RNTI,

·        for Type-2 codebook construction, DL-DAI is separately counted per G-CS-RNTI,

·        Type-2 codebook is constructed by concatenating Type-2 sub-codebook of each G-CS-RNTI following the ascending order of the G-CS-RNTI value.

·        Type-2 HARQ-ACK sub-codebook for G-CS-RNTIs is appended to the one for G-RNTI.

 

Decision: As per email decision posted on May 21st,

Agreement

For multicast, for addressing how to count and order the HARQ-ACK bits for NACK-only for Alt4, further down-selection on the following cases/options in the next meeting:

·        Case 2: for the case of all UEs configured with the same set of G-RNTIs

o   Opt2-1: support Alt4 for this case

§  Opt2-1-1: based on the sum of C-DAI included in the last scheduling DCI from each G-RNTI for counting the total number of HARQ-ACK bits. The ordering of HARQ-ACK bits is per C-DAI from each G-RNTI and in the ascending order of G-RNTI values.

§  Opt2-1-2: based on C-DAI* included in the last scheduling DCI for counting the number of HARQ-ACK bits and for ordering the HARQ-ACK bits. The C-DAI* is accumulating the scheduled TBs across different G-RNTIs

o   Opt2-2: does not support Alt4 for this case.

·        Case 3: for the case of different UEs configured with different G-RNTIs

o   Opt3-1: support Alt4 for this case

§  Opt3-1-1: based on the sum of C-DAI included in the last scheduling DCI from each G-RNTI for counting the total number of HARQ-ACK bits. The ordering of HARQ-ACK bits is per C-DAI from each G-RNTI and in the ascending order of G-RNTI values.

§  Opt3-1-2: based on C-DAI* included in the last scheduling DCI for counting the number of HARQ-ACK bits and for ordering the HARQ-ACK bits. The C-DAI* is accumulating the scheduled TBs across different G-RNTIs.

o   Opt3-2: does not support Alt4 for this case.

R1-2207975        FL summary#3 on configurations for MBS regarding rate matching patterns and CORESET   Moderator (Huawei)

Agreement

When UE is configured with the same RateMatchPatternId in both the CFR and in the associated BWP, it is expected to have the same set of RBs/REs indicated by the patterns for rate matching around. Otherwise, the different RateMatchPatternId will be configured in the CFR and in the associated BWP.

 

Agreement

For UE not supporting multipleCORESET in FR1, in order to receive MBS multicast in CFR within UE active BWP,

·        if a CORESET is not configured within the PDCCH-ConfigMulticast, the other CORESET than CORESET0 configured within UE active BWP for scheduling unicast can also to be used for scheduling multicast, and the CORESET is expected to be included completely within the CFR and the parameters configured in the CORESET are expected to be supported by the UE for multicast.

Agreement

When NACK-only PUCCH overlaps with other PUCCH/PUSCH transmission, NACK-only is transformed into ACK/NACK and multiplexed with other PUCCH/PUSCH transmission:

·        Opt4: All PUCCHs have the same starting symbol and the same time duration

R1-2207714        FL summary#4 on improving reliability for MBS for RRC_CONNECTED UEs               Moderator (Huawei)

Agreement

For PRI included in DCI format 4_1/4_2,

·        if the G-RNTI is configured with NACK-only mode1, PRI indicates the PUCCH for the HARQ-ACK feedback including the case of one TB in scheduled.

·        If the G-RNTI is configured with NACK-only mode2,

o   FFS on whether/how to interpret the PRI.

Agreement

For Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook multiplexing for dynamic multicast scheduling with multicast SPS, and if the UE is configured with HARQ-ACK enabled for multicast dynamic scheduling and is configured with disabled HARQ feedback for multicast SPS scheduling, it is up to UE to report NACK or ACK/NACK for the G-CS-RNTI with HARQ-ACK disabled.

 

Agreement

When UE does not detect any DCI for G-RNTI(s) with HARQ-ACK enabled when at least one configured G-RNTI is with HARQ-ACK enabled by RRC, UE does not need to generate the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook for PUCCH transmission.

·        Whether there is any specification impact can be further discussed.

For issue 1-12 in R1-2210372

Agreement

For UEs not provided with SPS-PUCCH-AN-List, when UE would multiplex HARQ-ACK for unicast SPS PDSCHs and multicast dynamic grant PDSCHs, the PUCCH carrying the multiplexed HARQ-ACK is determined from PUCCH-Config/PUCCH-ConfigurationList configured for multicast.

Corresponding draft CR in:

R1-2210577        Draft CR on PUCCH resource determination for multiplexing dynamic multicast HARQ-ACK and SPS unicast HARQ-ACK          Moderator (Huawei), vivo

Decision: As per email decision posted on Oct 11th, draft CR in R1-2210577 is endorsed in principle with the following revision:

       Adjust indentation for the sub-bullets needs (moved inwards – e.g. consistent with other indentation in 213)

Final CR is agreed in R1-2210729 (38.213, v17.3.0, Rel-17, CR#0401, Cat. F).

 

 

For issue 1-1 in R1-2210372

Agreement

Decision: No consensus to endorse the draft CR, though the issue is considered as essential by a majority of companies. Draft CR is postponed to next meeting for finalization.

 

 

For issue 1-5 in R1-2210372

Agreement

For a UE configured with G-CS-RNTI(s) with NACK-only HARQ-ACK feedback, when NACK-only HARQ-ACK bits are transformed into ACK/NACK HARQ-ACK bits, the PUCCH resource used for transmitting the multiplexed HARQ-ACK bits is determined from the sps-PUCCH-AN-List configured for unicast, if sps-PUCCH-AN-ListMulticast is not configured.

Corresponding draft CR in:

R1-2210573        Draft CR on PUCCH resource determination of multicast HARQ-ACK               Moderator (Huawei), Samsung

Decision: No consensus to endorse the draft CR, though the issue is considered as essential by a majority of companies. Draft CR is postponed to next meeting for finalization.

 

 

For issue 1-22 in R1-2210372

Agreement

It is up to UE implementation on which one to drop between SR or NACK-only when NACK-only collides with SR when UE would transmit PUCCH with HARQ-ACK according to the second reporting mode.

Corresponding draft CR in:

R1-2210638        Draft CR on handling SR and NACK-only collision             Moderator (Huawei)

Agreement

The draft CR in R1-2210638 is endorsed in principle with the following revision:

·        If a UE would transmit a first PUCCH with positive SR and a second PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information with the same priority index according to the second HARQ-ACK reporting mode, where the first and second PUCCHs would overlap in time in a slot and have same priority index, it is up to UE implementation for the UE to transmit either the first PUCCH or the second PUCCH.

Final CR is agreed in R1-2210730 (38.213, v17.3.0, Rel-17, CR#0402, Cat. F).

For issue 1-3 in R1-2210373

Agreement

If a G-RNTI/G-CS-RNTI is configured with ‘dci-enabler’, the UE transmits the multicast feedback when scheduled by DCI format 4_1 for this G-RNTI/G-CS-RNTI.

       Inform RAN2 of the RAN1 agreement, with an action for RAN2 to check whether this impacts their specification and to let RAN2 update their specification if needed. Include the corresponding endorsed RAN1 CR in the LS to RAN2 if the CR can be endorsed at RAN1#110bis-e.
