SFI METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING SFI SLOT FORMAT INFORMATION COLLISION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed in terms of network nodes. In one embodiment, the method includes a network node transmitting first slot format information (SFI) to a user equipment (UE), where the first SFI indicates the direction of transmission of the symbols of the first slot set. The method also includes a network node transmitting the second SFI transmitted by the group common physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to the UE, where the second SFI indicates the direction of transmission of the symbols of the second slot set, and When the first set of slots and the second set of slots are partially overlapped in the time domain and the second SFI is transmitted after the first SFI, the transmission direction of the overlapping symbol indicated by the second SFI is indicated by the first SFI It is aligned with the transmission direction of the overlapping symbols.
