Explore the inner workings of HARQ-ACK Codebooks in 5G NR! This in-depth tutorial covers how HARQ feedback is multiplexed across transport blocks, carriers, and code block groups.
Understand the differences between Semi-Static and Dynamic Codebooks, how the UE sends ACK/NACK to the gNB, and the role of DAI counters in reliable feedback delivery. ![]()
