Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a first downlink control information (DCI), the first DCI including a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID);
calculating a first HARQ process number based on the first HARQ process ID and on a slot number associated with the first DCI, wherein calculating the first HARQ process number comprises calculating the first HARQ process number according to HARQID,Actual=[(CurrentSlot MOD 2)+(HARQID,DCI×2)] MOD NHARQ,
wherein:
CurrentSlot=2μ×10×SFN+SlotNum,, HARQ

   }, is the HARQ process ID, and

NHARQ is a number of HARQ processes supported by the UE; and

processing a first data block via a HARQ process associated with the first HARQ process number.
