Claim 11:
12. A system comprising:
a user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:
a radio; and
a processing circuit,

the processing circuit being configured to:
receive a first downlink control information (DCI), the first DCI including a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID);
calculate a first HARQ process number based on the first HARQ process ID and on a slot number associated with the first DCI, wherein in calculating the first HARQ process number the processing circuit is configured to assign one or more first bits of the HARQ process ID as one or more first bits of the first HARQ process number, and assign one or more second bits of the slot number as one or more second bits of the HARQ process number; and

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