Title:	Discussion on multi-cell PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI
Agenda item:	9.12.1
Document for:	Discussion and Decision
Conclusion
Proposal 1: Consider the case involving three different SCS can be scheduled by a DCI format 0_3/1_3 in Rel-19.
Case 7: A DCI format 0_3/1_3 scheduling PUSCHs/PDSCHs on FR1 licensed FDD cell(s) with SCS1, TDD cell(s) with SCS2 and FR2-1 cell(s) with SCS3. 
SCS1, SCS2 and SCS3 can be same or different.
Proposal 2: Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook is supported for multi-cell scheduling with K1 extension for Rel-19 multi-cell scheduling.
UE expects HARQ-ACK information for all co-scheduled PDSCHs by DCI format 1_3 can be mapped in the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook. 
Proposal 3: For multi-cell multi-PDSCH scheduling, if the active DL BWP change occurs on one scheduled cell and the HARQ-ACK information bits are included in the second sub-codebook of Type-2 codebook, the UE assumes incorrect decoding for transport blocks in each of the PDSCH receptions scheduled by the DCI format 1_3 on the scheduled cell. 
Proposal 4: RAN1 should clarify how to put the padding bits for multi-cell multi-PDSCH scheduling.
Understanding 1: The padding bits are added at the end of HARQ information bits for the DCI format 1_3.
Understanding 2: The padding bits are added per scheduled cell.
Proposal 5: The maximum number of PUSCHs/PDSCHs per DCI can be configured or reported if needed.
Proposal 6: Endorse the following updates on RRC parameters for Multi-carrier enhancements for NR Phase 3:

WI code:	NR_MC_enh2
Release:	Rel-19
Document for:		Discussion and Decision

Conclusion
In this contribution we discuss the remaining details on R19 MC-enhancements phase 4 and make the following observations proposals:

Proposal 1: Agree the following TP to TS 38.300 Sec. 10.11:  

Observation 1: Increased flexibility of up to 256 entries in TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-0-3/1-3 is required for the gNB to jointly indicate the intended number of PDSCHs/PUSCHs and their time-domain location for a co-scheduled cell for multi-cell scheduling. 
Observation 2: The impact of up to 256 entries in TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-0-3/1-3 to the DCI size seems negligible and is under gNB control by RRC configuration. The required UE memory of up to 256 entries is only a fraction (a small single digit percentage) compared to the underlying BWP specific multi-PDSCH/multi-PUSCH TDRA tables for DCI format 0_3/1_3. 
Proposal 2: Support up to 256 entries for TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-0-3/1-3 to provide the required flexibility for the gNB to jointly indicate the intended number of PDSCHs/PUSCHs and their time-domain location for a co-scheduled cell for multi-cell scheduling. 
Proposal 3: Adopt the TP to 38.213 on clarifying UL slot for multi-PDSCH HARQ reporting of Alt. 3 of the moderator proposal 3-1 of RAN1#120bis which reads as:

Title:	Enhancements for multi-cell PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling
Document for:	Discussion and decision
Conclusions
This contribution considered the Rel-19 enhancements for multi-cell scheduling of PUSCHs/PDSCHs using DCI format 0_3/1_3 and provided the following proposals.
Proposal 1: Update the field type of the ‘minimum scheduling offset indicator’ field from Type-1A to Type-1B.
Proposal 2: To resolve the FFS on the range of RRC parameters TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-1-3-r19 and TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-0-3-r19:
support increasing the number of multi-cell TDRA combinations, e.g., 64 for DL and 128 for UL, to ensure same flexibility as in Rel-18.
Proposal 3: For the number of bits of NDI/RV fields in DCI format 0_3/1_3 with multi-PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling:
the maximum number of schedulable PUSCHs/PDSCHs on the corresponding cell is determined by TDRA table for the active BWP of the cell.
Proposal 4: For the application of FG 18-9 (type2-HARQ-ACK-Codebook) to Rel-19 multi-cell multi-PDSCH scheduling:
The UE counts a serving cell  a number  times in the Type-2 HARQ-ACK pseudo-code, when the UE receives  DCI formats 1_3 in the same PDCCH MO that schedule  PDSCH receptions, with , and the serving cell  is a serving cell with smallest cell index across the  DCI formats;
Adopt TP #1 in the Appendix for TS 38.213.
Proposal 5: For determination of the number of HARQ-ACK bits for PUCCH power control, reuse the Rel-18 MCE formula with the following modifications:
 is the number  of HARQ-ACK information bits per DCI format 1_3, as per draft CR for TS 38.213 [5, R1-2503173];
 is based on the number of TB / PDSCH receptions when nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is not configured, or the number of transport block groups (TBGs) or PDSCH reception groups when nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is configured, along with legacy handling for overlap with UL symbols of the TDD UL/DL configuration;
Adopt one of TP #2A or TP #2B in the Appendix for TS 38.213.
Proposal 6: Further clarification of the per-cell number of HARQ-ACK information bits, e.g., as part of the “modifications” to the pseudo-code for the Rel-19 MCE is not necessary – such text already exists in the endorsed draft CR for TS 38.213 [5, R1-2503173].

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

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

Title: 	Discussion on multi-carrier enhancements for NR Phase 3
Agenda Item:		9.12.1
Document for:	Discussion
Conclusion
In this contribution, we provide our view on multi-carrier enhancements for NR Phase 3. We made following proposals.
Proposal 1: For TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-1-3-r19 and TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-0-3-r19, the maximum number of entries is 64.
Proposal 2: Whether repetition and/or TBoMS is supported for Rel.19 DCI format 0-3/1-3 should be clarified.
Proposal 3: RAN1 should clarify that Rel.19 DCI format 0-3/1-3 supports repetition / TBoMS with the following behavior without any specification change.
For cell(s) within the set of cells configured with multi-PxSCH scheduling table, multi-PxSCH scheduling is applied, in which there is not any repetition / TBoMS is possible.
For cell(s) within the set of cells only configured with regular TDRA (single-PxSCH) table, if repetition and/or TBoMS is configured in the table, repetition / TBoMS is possible.

< Unchanged parts are omitted >
10.11	Multi-cell scheduling by a single DCI
Multi-cell scheduling by a single DCI allows the PDCCH of a serving cell to schedule PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on one or more serving cells with the single DCI but with the following restrictions:
-	When a serving cell is configured with a PDCCH which schedules PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on a cell set, the PUSCH/PDSCH on serving cells in the cell set is always scheduled by a PDCCH on the serving cell;
-	When SpCell is configured with a PDCCH which schedules PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on serving cells in a cell set, that SpCell's PDSCH and PUSCH cannot be scheduled by a PDCCH on an SCell;
-	When an SCell is configured with a PDCCH which schedules PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) on serving cells in a cell set, SpCell is not included in the cell set;
-	The scheduling PDCCH and the scheduled PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) can use the same or different numerologies;
-	The co-scheduled PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) with a PDCCH use the same numerology, or are on FR1 licensed FDD cell(s) with one numerology and FR1 licensed TDD cell(s) with the same or the other numerology, or are on FR1 licensed FDD cell(s) with one numerology and FR2-1 cell(s) with the same or the other numerology, or are on FR1 licensed TDD cell(s) with one numerology and FR2-1 cell(s) with the same or the other numerology, or are on FR1 licensed FDD cell(s) with two different numerologies, or are on FR1 licensed TDD cell(s) with two different numerologies, or are on FR2-1 cell(s) with two different numerologies.
-	The co-scheduled PUSCH(s) with a PDCCH use the same numerology.
< Unchanged parts are omitted >

Proposal 2: Both the maximum sizes for numbers of entries of the joint TDRA tables TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-1-3-r19 and TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-0-3-r19 are set to 64.

Conclusions
In this contribution, we discussed a remaining issue on the single DCI based multi-cell PDSCH/PUSCH scheduling for Rel-19, and the following proposal is provided:

Proposal #1: Agree the following aspects on the construction of Type-2 HARQ-ACK codebook for Rel-19 multi-cell PDSCH scheduling:
The number of HARQ-ACK information bits for each serving cell c configured with multi-PDSCH scheduling (within a set s of co-scheduled cells) is determined based on the maximum number of PDSCHs schedulable by one DCI.
 HARQ-ACK bits (if nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is not provided for the serving cell c) or  HARQ-ACK bits (if nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups is provided for the serving cell c)
NACK value is padded for the last  HARQ-ACK information bits if , where  is the sum of  or  across the cells within the set s of co-scheduled cells.

Conclusion
The following proposals are made.
Proposal 1: Agree the following:
When the UE is scheduled with multiple PDSCHs on a serving cell by a DCI 0-3/1-3, the bits of rv field and NDI field, respectively, in the DCI are one-to-one mapped to the scheduled PDSCH(s) indicated by the TDRA information field with the corresponding transport block(s) in the scheduled order starting from LSB, where the LSB bits of the rv field and NDI field, respectively, correspond to the first scheduled PDSCH indicated by the TDRA information field. [Where there is more than one bit in the rv field for each scheduled PxSCH, the first information bit shall correspond to the higher order bit and the last bit the lower order bit.] 

Proposal 2: Maximum number of entries in the joint TDRA table for 0_3/1_3 in Rel-19 when multiple PxSCHs are configured is limited to 64.

Conclusion 
In this contribution, we made following an observation and proposals.
Observation 1: Rel-18 RAN1 specifications on DCI format 1_3/0_3 would be applicable to the case with different SCS/carrier type among co-scheduled cells.

Proposal 1: TP below for TS38.300 should be endorsed for the removal of the restriction for the numerology between co-scheduled PDSCH(s)/PUSCH(s) to support different SCS/carrier type among co-scheduled cells.
Proposal 2: Unless there is any technical issue, time domain HARQ-ACK bundling is supported for both types-1 and type-2 HARQ codebook in Rel-19 multi-cell multi-PDSCH scheduling.
Proposal 3: For TDRA-FieldIndexListDCI-1(0)-3-r19, the maximum number of entries with up to 64 has sufficient flexibility and larger maximum size than 64 would not be necessary.
Proposal 4: The existing RRC parameters of both nrofHARQ-BundlingGroups-r17 for type-2 HARQ CB and timeDomainHARQ-BundlingType1-r17 for type-1 HARQ CB can be reused for time domain HARQ bundling in Rel-19 multi-cell multi-PDSCH scheduling.
