Reduced CBG HARQ Feedback for Efficient Multimedia Transmissions in 5G for Coexistence with URLLC Traffic
Abstract
In recent 5G standardization activities, finely granular HARQ feedback (CBG HARQ) for partial retransmissions was introduced to support high data rates, while enabling coexistence with ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC). However, the CBG HARQ scheme comes with the drawback of increased feedback payload. In this paper, we discuss two reduced HARQ feedback schemes for using partial retransmissions, as used in CBG HARQ, while decreasing the feedback overhead implicated by finely granular feedback. These schemes exploit information on the location of puncturing by URLLC traffic, designated as Preemption Indication (PI). In this work, we show that these schemes achieve a similar performance to the regular CBG HARQ scheme, while significantly lowering the feedback overhead burden on the communication system.
