  • Patent number: 10581559
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is described. A higher-layer processor is configured to configure a short processing time. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) receiver is configured to receive, in a subframe n, a PDCCH. A physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) receiver is configured to receive, in the subframe n, a PDSCH corresponding to the PDCCH. An uplink receiver is configured to feedback, in a subframe n+k, a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) corresponding to the PDSCH. In a case that the PDCCH is a PDCCH in common search space, the k is equal to k1. In a case that the PDCCH is a PDCCH in UE-specific search space, the k is equal to k2. The k2 is smaller than the k1.

  • Patent number: 10555365
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE acquires a dedicated RRC configuration. The dedicated RRC includes first information, second information and third information. The first information indicates one or more control resource set(s). The second information indicates one or more resource set(s), the one or more resource set(s) including at least one of the one or more control resource set(s). The third information indicates whether or not DCI formats include an information field indicating whether or not a subset of the one or more resource set(s) is available for a PDSCH. The UE also monitors a PDCCH in the one or more control resource set(s). The PDCCH carries a DCI format which schedules the PDSCH. The UE further receives the PDSCH. If the third information indicating the DCI formats does not include the information field, or if the DCI format can be mapped in common specific search space, the DCI does not include the information field.
