HARQ AND CONTROL CHANNEL TIMING FOR EXTENDED MACHINE TYPE COMMUNICATION (EMTC) Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H04L1/08 H04W4/00 

FIELD: communication equipment.

SUBSTANCE: hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques for enhanced machine type communication (eMTC). The method is performed by a wireless device, such as user equipment (UE), to determine identification of the hybrid automatic repeat request process (HARQ ID). The communication method includes determining a set of candidate starting subframes for monitoring a Physical Machine Type Communication Downlink Control Channel (MPDCCH) based at least in part on the current subframe number, the pattern of available subframe numbers, and MPDCCH repetition levels. The MPDCCH is monitored in one or more subframes of a set of candidate start subframes.

EFFECT: improved efficiency of data transmission.
