Abstract
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for interpreting downlink control information (DCI) is disclosed. The method includes receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message; receiving DCI; determining a configuration status of a first information element (IE) in the RRC message; and interpreting the DCI by considering a field size of a downlink feedback information (DFI) flag included in the DCI to be associated with the configuration status of the first IE in the RRC message. In addition, a UE using the method is also disclosed.
