Each half frame includes 8 timeslots having a length of 0.5ms each and 3 special fields, i.e., a downlink pilot timeslot (DwPTS), a guard period (GP), and an uplink pilot timeslot (UpPTS). An overall length of the 3 special fields is 1ms. Each subframe consists of two consecutive timeslots, i.e., subframe k containing timeslot 2k and timeslot 2k+1.
  • the TDD system supports 7 different TDD downlink and uplink configurations, as shown in table 1. In table 1, "D” represents a downlink subframe, "U” represents an uplink subframe, and "S" represents a special subframe containing the 3 special fields.

  • downlink downlink control information (DL DCI) contained in a DL SPS release PDCCH/EPDCCH and a PDCCH/EPDCCH for PDSCH scheduling includes a 2-bit downlink assignment index (DL DAI) field.
  • a DL DAI is a counter sent from a base station (eNB) to a user equipment (UE), and is used to indicate the total number of PDCCHs/EPDCCHs and DL SPS release PDCCHs/EPDCCHs of the eNB which have scheduled a PDSCH in a bundling window.
  • a value of the DAI in a first DL DCI sent by the eNB in the bundling window is 1, a value of the DAI in a second DL DCI transmitted in the bundling window by the eNB is 2, and so on.
  • the UE may determine whether it has missed a previous DL DCI(s) in a same bundling window, and may be able to determine an approach of transmitting HARQ-ACK feedback information of the same bundling window according to whether a DL DCI is lost or not.
  • UL DCI format 0/4 for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduling includes a 2-bit UL DAI field to indicate a sum of the number of subframes used to transmit PDSCHs and the number of subframes used to transmit DL SPS release PDCCHs/EPDCCHs in a current bundling window, and is used to determine the number of HARQ-ACK bits when HARQ-ACK feedback information is transmitted in the PUSCH.
  • Uplink Downlink control Information (UL DCI) format 0/4 for PUSCH scheduling includes a 2-bit uplink index (UL index) field to indicate whether a PUSCH of 1 uplink subframe or PUSCHs of 2 uplink subframes is/are scheduled when a downlink subframe schedules PUSCHs of 2 uplink subframes, and indicate a PUSCH of which uplink subframe is scheduled when the downlink subframe schedules a PUSCH of 1 uplink subframe.
  • UL index uplink index

  • CCs component carriers
  • CA carrier aggregation
  • CCs component carriers
  • a base station may configure the UE being working in multiple CCs of which one CC is a primary CC (a PCC or a Pcell), and the other CCs are referred to as secondary CCs (SCCs or Scells).
  • a UE may use a CA system aggregating more than 5 CCs, e.g., a CA system aggregating up to 32 cells, so as to get a larger working bandwidth.
  • DL DAI information should be indicated when the data of the multiple downlink subframes is scheduled, and DL DAI information of different cells is indicated independently, as shown in Fig.3.
  • An approach of feeding back HARQ-ACK feedback information by an UE is physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format 3 which may support 5 cells at most.
  • a base station may transmit an uplink grant (UL grant) in a PDCCH to schedule PUSCH resources for the UE.
  • UL grant uplink grant

  • the number of bits needed for transmitting HARQ-ACK feedback information thereof is M; for a cell with a multiple input and multiple out (MIMO) transmission mode, if the number of bits of HARQ-ACK feedback information to be transmitted of all the cells of the UE calculated out according to the size of the bundling window of the cells is smaller than or equal to N (e.g., 20), then the number of bits needed for transmitting HARQ-ACK feedback information of the cell is M*2; or for a cell with the MIMO transmission mode, if the number of bits of HARQ-ACK feedback information to be transmitted of all the cells of the UE calculated out according to the size of the bundling window of the cells is larger than N (e.g., 20), then the number of bits needed for transmitting HARQ-ACK feedback information of the cell is M.

  • a cell specific DL DAI may be introduced.
  • This cell specific DL DAI is not used to indicate data transmission of multiple downlink subframes scheduled on a same cell, but to indicate data transmission of multiple cells scheduled on a subframe, as shown in Fig.4.
  • a value of a DL DAI is equal to the number of DL grants have been transmitted.
  • a UL DCI for PUSCH scheduling includes a UL DAI field, a value of the UL DAI is equal to the total number of PDSCHs and DL SPS release PDCCHs/EPDCCHs that have been transmitted.

Because in a same subframe, when transmission modes of different cells are different, the numbers of HARQ-ACK bits of the different cells are different too, and when transmission modes of different cells are same, the numbers of HARQ-ACK bits of the different cells are same as well. In addition, if HARQ-ACK of all different cells is spatially bundled, no matter transmission modes of the different cells are same or not, the numbers of HARQ-ACK bits of the different cells are same.
