Ack/Nack Feedback Mode As described above, in TDD LTE ibe subframe can transmit ACK/NACK for multiple subframe as shown below. In the following figure as an example, UE send ACK/NACK for 4 PDSCHs in subframe 2. What should eNB do if the subframe 2 send NACK ? Does it have to retransmit the whole 4 PDSCHs ? or transmit only PDSCH which is NACKed ?

The answer to the question gets different depending on tdd-AckNackFeedbackMode setting in RRC message (e.g, RRC Connection Setup or RRC Connection Reconfiguration). If it is set to be 'bundling', eNB should retransmit all the PDSCH. If it is sent to be 'multiplexing', eNB should retransmit the only PDSCH which is NACKed.
