Abstract: A process for constructing a mesh network where nodes use time division multiplexing to define windows for directional communication between nodes in the network includes a discovery period during which node locations are established and the nodes define available windows of communication. Each node may then propose shared windows with other nodes for intermittent directional communication. Each node may include more than one antenna, or an electronically scanned array antenna with multiple apertures. Each window may define directional communication for multiple nodes during the window. Directional, time multiplexed communication enables spatially separated communication between multiple nodes during the same time window without interference.

Abstract: A communication method and apparatus to reduce a waiting latency in a retransmission process. A terminal device receives a first PDSCH from a network device. In response to failing to decode data carried on the first PDSCH, the terminal device sends an SRS to the network device on a first time-frequency resource.

After determining that the first PDSCH fails to be decoded, the terminal device directly sends the SRS to the network device by using the first time-frequency resource.
