METHODS USING HARQ-ACK CODEBOOKS FOR MULTI-FLOW COMMUNICATIONS AND RELATED WIRELESS TERMINALS AND RADIO NETWORK NODES

摘要

At least one transport data block is transmitted from a first sector of anetwork over a downlink to a wireless terminal during a time resource element for a multi-flow downlink transmission to the wireless terminal, and at least one transport data block is transmitted from a second sector of the network over a downlink to the wireless terminal during the time resource element for the multi-flow downlink transmission. A feedback message is received for the time resource element from the wireless terminal, wherein the feedback message includes a HARQ-ACK codeword selected from a HARQ-ACK codebook providing HARQ- ACK feedback for the at least one transport data block transmitted from the first sector and for the at least one transport data block transmitted from the second sector. The HARQ-ACK codeword is interpreted for the at least one transport data block transmitted from the first sector based on the first sector being a primary sector for the multi-flow downlink transmission.
