DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION DESIGN FOR SCHEDULING OF MULTIPLE TRANSPORT BLOCKS

摘要

A downlink control information (DCI) design for scheduling of multiple transport blocks. A common DCI payload size may be configured to support scheduling of a number of transport blocks (e.g., one, or up to a maximum number) with conditional state encoding. A base station may determine a number of transport blocks to schedule, and determine whether to apply a scheduling limitation to information used to schedule the transport blocks based on the number of transport blocks. The base station may then encode the information using conditionally encoded DCI fields based on the number of transport blocks and the scheduling limitation. The information may include a flag indicating whether multiple transport blocks are scheduled. The base station may transmit the encoded DCI and a UE may decode the DCI according to the flag and conditionally encoded DCI fields to determine the information used to schedule the transport blocks.
