What changed

This document is a newly published patent application, US20260088938A1, filed by Apogee Networks, LLC. It describes a method and device for wireless communication nodes, focusing on how a node receives signaling to determine a first bit block, which is used to generate a second bit block for transmission in a target time-frequency-resource block. The application details how the number of resources used for transmitting a first-type HARQ-ACK determines whether the target resource block is designated as a first or second time-frequency-resource block, with specific indices for different HARQ-ACK types.

As this is a patent application, it does not impose direct regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on entities. However, it represents a new development in wireless communication technology that may influence future standards or product development. Companies operating in the telecommunications sector, particularly those involved in wireless network infrastructure and device manufacturing, should be aware of this filing as it pertains to intellectual property in the field.

Abstract

Disclosure provides a method and device in a node for wireless communications. A first receiver, receives a first signaling; and a first transmitter, transmits a first signal in a target time-frequency-resource block, and the first signal carries a second bit block; herein, the first signaling is used to determine a first bit block; the first bit block comprises a second-type HARQ-ACK; the first bit block is used to generate the second bit block; the first time-frequency-resource block and the second time-frequency-resource block are respectively reserved for different bit blocks; a number of resources used to transmit a first-type HARQ-ACK in the first time-frequency-resource block is used to determine whether the target time-frequency-resource block is the first time-frequency-resource block or the second time-frequency-resource block; the first-type HARQ-ACK corresponds to a first index; the second-type HARQ-ACK corresponds to a second index; the first signaling indicates the second index.
