Signaling reserved for hybrid automatic repeat request information for downlink semi-persistent scheduling

摘要

A user equipment, network node and method for reuse of one of a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) Process identifier (ID), the method comprising: receiving signaling at a user equipment; reserving, by the user equipment, at least one of the plurality of HARQ Process IDs for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) based upon the signaling; determining, by the user equipment, allocation of a semi-persistent resource; associating, by the user equipment, the at least one of the plurality of HARQ Process IDs with the semi-persistent resource; and receiving, by the user equipment, a non-semi-persistent data communication utilizing the at least one of the plurality of HARQ Process IDs.
