Information determination method for wireless communication device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003459B2) discloses an information determination method and a wireless communication device that can efficiently handle hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) codebooks in a wireless communication system. The method involves receiving a signaling message containing specific information, determining whether HARQ-ACK codebooks with different indexes are combined, and connecting and encoding these codebooks accordingly for feedback in an uplink control resource. The patent emphasizes the use of transmission configuration indicators (TCI) and downlink control channel resource group identifiers to streamline the process.
Furthermore, the wireless communication device described in the patent includes a processor and memory that execute instructions to perform the information determination method. The device is designed to receive signaling messages, analyze the included information, and process HARQ-ACK codebooks based on the determined indexes. By efficiently connecting and encoding these codebooks, the device ensures effective feedback transmission in the wireless communication system. The patent also highlights the activation and deactivation states indicated by TCI values, as well as the structure of the downlink control channel resource group, emphasizing the device's ability to handle different scenarios efficiently.
