Patent ID: 10200179

Abstract:
A control information feedback method (CIFM), a user equipment (UE) using the CIFM and a base station using the CIFM are disclosed. In an embodiment the method includes determining an uplink association index k′ according to an uplink reference configuration an uplink grant (UL Grant) in a subframe n−k′, wherein the UL Grant is used to indicate physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in a subframe n, n being an integer and k′ being the uplink association index, determining a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information according to a downlink reference configuration, wherein the downlink reference configuration is used to determine a downlink association set {k0, k1, . . . kM−1} and transmitting the HARQ-ACK information by a PUSCH in the subframe n, wherein the terminal device is configured with a TDD uplink-downlink configuration, and wherein the uplink reference configuration is different from the downlink reference configuration.
