Abstract
A method of operating a network node in a wireless communication system includes configuring a downlink control information (DCI) message that schedules uplink or downlink communications with a user equipment (UE) in a plurality of serving cells. The DCI message does not include an explicit new data indicator (NDI) field for at least one of the serving cells scheduled by the DCI message. The network node transmits the DCI message to the UE. A method performed by a UE includes receiving a DCI message that schedules uplink or downlink communications in a plurality of serving cells. The DCI message does not include an explicit NDI field for a serving cell scheduled by the DCI message. In response, the UE determines an NDI value associated with scheduled communications for the serving cell or determines that the scheduled communications for the serving cell contains a new data transmission.
