METHOD AND BS FOR TRANSMITTING CONTROL INFORMATION TO UE, AND METHOD AND UE FOR HANDLING CONTROL INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method used in a Base Station, BS, for transmitting control information to a User Equipment, UE, the method comprising:
- generating a first indication indicating whether data, which are downlink data transmitted from the BS to the UE or uplink data transmitted from the UE to the BS, are in an initial transmission or a retransmission, the first indication being comprised in the control information;
if the data are in the initial transmission,generating a second indication for determining modulation mode and Transport Block, TB, size of the data, the second indication being comprised in the control information; and
transmitting the control information to the UE.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method used in a BS for transmitting control information to a UE, and an associated BS. The method includes: generating a first indication indicating whether data, which are downlink data transmitted from the BS to the UE or uplink data transmitted from the UE to the BS, are in an initial transmission or a retransmission, the first indication being comprised in the control information; if the data are in the initial transmission, generating a second indication for determining modulation mode and Transport Block, TB, size of the data, the second indication being comprised in the control information; and transmitting the control information to the UE.

6. A method used in a User Equipment, UE, for handling control information from a Base Station, BS, the method comprising:
-
receiving the control information from the BS; determining whether data, which are downlink data transmitted from the BS to the UE or uplink data transmitted from the UE to the BS, are in an initial transmission or a retransmission based on a first indication comprised in the control information; if the data are in the initial transmission, determining modulation mode and Transport Block, TB, size of the data based on a second indication comprised in the control information. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method used in a Base Station, BS, for identifying that a User Equipment, UE, requests the BS to retransmit an initial transmission of downlink data, comprising:
-
determining a first position, which is used for the UE transmitting Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, feedback when the UE does not request the BS to retransmit the initial transmission of the downlink data; determining a second position, which is used for the UE transmitting HARQ feedback of the downlink data when the UE requests the BS to retransmit the initial transmission of the downlink data, the second position being different from the first position; transmitting to the UE an indication indicating the second position; receiving HARQ feedback of the downlink data from the UE; and identifying that the UE requests retransmission of the initial transmission of the downlink data if the HARQ feedback uses the second position. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method used in User Equipment, UE, for requesting a Base Station, BS, to retransmit an initial transmission of downlink data, comprising:
-
determining a first position, which is used for the UE transmitting Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, feedback when the UE does not request the BS to retransmit the initial transmission of the downlink data; receiving from the BS an indication indicating a second position, which is used for the UE transmitting HARQ feedback of the downlink data when the UE requests the BS to retransmit the initial transmission of the downlink data, the second position being different from the first position; and transmitting HARQ feedback of the downlink data to the BS using the second position to indicate that the UE requests retransmission of the initial transmission of the downlink data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A Base Station, BS, for transmitting control information to a User Equipment, UE, the BS comprising a generating unit and a transmitting unit,
wherein the generating unit is configured to generate a first indication indicating whether data, which are downlink data transmitted from the BS to the UE or uplink data transmitted from the UE to the BS, are in an initial transmission or a retransmission, the first indication being comprised in the control information, wherein if the data are in the initial transmission, the generating unit is further configured to generate a second indication for determining modulation mode and Transport Block, TB, size of the data, the second indication being comprised in the control information, and the transmitting unit is configured to transmit the control information to the UE.

22. A User Equipment, UE, for handling control information from a Base Station, BS, the UE comprising a receiving unit and a determining unit, wherein
the receiving unit is configured to receive the control information from the BS; -
the determining unit is configured to determine whether data, which are downlink data transmitted from the BS to the UE or uplink data transmitted from the UE to the BS, are in an initial transmission or a retransmission based on a first indication comprised in the control information; if the data are in the initial transmission, the determining unit is further configured to determine modulation mode and Transport Block, TB, size of the data based on a second indication comprised in the control information. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
