Patent ID: 10667272

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method executed at a user equipment (UE) and a related UE. The method comprises: receiving, from a base station, parameters of Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) physical shared channel, wherein the parameters comprising a number of resource units onto which a transport block of an NB-IoT physical shared channel is mapped and a number of repetitions for transmission or reception of the NB-IoT physical shared channel. The method further comprises: interpreting the number of resource units onto which a transport block of the NB-IoT physical shared channel is mapped as a number of physical resource blocks allocated to the NB-IoT physical shared channel, so as to determine a size of a transport block of the NB-IoT physical shared channel; and determining, according to the number of resource units onto which a transport block of the NB-IoT physical shared channel is mapped and the number of repetitions for transmission or reception of the NB-IoT physical shared channel, a total number of resource units for transmission or reception of the NB-IoT physical shared channel. The present disclosure also provides a method corresponding to the above method and is performed at a base station and a related base station.
