HARQ-ACK Codebook Type 2

Dynamic HARQ-ACK Codebook

Adaptive HARQ feedback codebook where feedback size dynamically matches actually scheduled transmissions via DAI.

Technical Explanation

Type 2 (Dynamic) codebook sizes the HARQ-ACK payload based on Counter DAI and Total DAI values in received DCIs. The UE transmits only as many ACK/NACK bits as there were actually scheduled PDSCHs, dramatically reducing PUCCH bit overhead in Carrier Aggregation and bursty data traffic.

Key Functions

  • Dynamically sizes HARQ feedback bits based on received DAI values
  • Eliminates empty NACK bits for unscheduled candidate slots
  • Standard feedback mode in multi-carrier 5G mobile networks
