PROCEDURE FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT WITH ULTRA COMPACT DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION AND SCHEDULING PHYSICAL DOWNLINK SHARED CHANNEL

原文（中国語）

System and methods for using ultra compact downlink control information (DCI) in conjunction with one or more scheduling physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) are disclosed herein. A base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), an ultra compact DCI that schedules the one or more scheduling PDSCHs. The one or more scheduling PDSCHs may schedule a data PDSCH or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is to be used for user/application layer data transmission. The ultra compact DCI and/or the one or more scheduling PDSCHs may be as configured by a system information block (SIB). The ultra compact DCI and/or the one or more scheduling PDSCHs may schedule a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) used for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) signaling relative to the one or more scheduling PDSCHs. Aspects regarding the use of these systems and methods in non-terrestrial network (NTN) contexts are considered.
