Description

[0001] public domain

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to techniques and apparatus for uplink preemption of multi-slot uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing.

[0003] background

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and long term evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless communication network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communications for several user equipment (UEs). User equipment (UEs) may communicate with the base stations (BSs) via downlinks and uplinks. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, access point (AP), radio head, transmit / receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, and so on.

[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. New Radio (NR) (which may also be referred to as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and supporting beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation to improve spectrum efficiency, reduce costs, improve services, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, there is a need for further improvements to LTE and NR technologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access technologies and telecommunication standards that adopt these technologies.

[0024] Detailed description

[0025] The various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to any specific structure or function given throughout the present disclosure. On the contrary, these aspects are provided to make the present disclosure thorough and complete, and they will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein, whether it is implemented independently of any other aspect of the present disclosure or implemented in combination. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein can be used to implement a device or practice method. In addition, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such devices or methods that are practiced using a supplement to the various aspects of the present disclosure set forth herein or other other structures, functionality, or structure and functionality. It should be understood that any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein can be implemented by one or more elements of the claims.

[0026] Several aspects of telecommunications systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques are described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0027] It should be noted that while various aspects may be described herein using terminology typically associated with 3G and / or 4G wireless technologies, various aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable in communication systems based on other generations, such as 5G and later generations, including NR technology.

[0028] Figure 11 is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 100 in which various aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced. The wireless network 100 may be an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NR network. The wireless network 100 may include several BSs 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A BS is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as a base station, NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, transmit reception point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0029] A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residence) and may allow restricted access by UEs associated with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In Figure 1 In the example shown in FIG, BS 110a may be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b may be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c may be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms "eNB," "base station," "NR BS," "gNB," "TRP," "AP," "Node B," "5G NB," and "cell" may be used interchangeably herein.

[0030] In some aspects, the cells may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cells may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to each other and / or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces, such as direct physical connections, virtual networks, and / or the like using any suitable transport network.

[0031] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive transmissions of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send transmissions of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown in , relay station 110d may communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, relay base station, relay, or the like.

[0032] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including different types of BSs (e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc.). These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro BS may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while a pico BS, a femto BS, and a relay BS may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0033] The network controller 130 may be coupled to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control of these BSs. The network controller 130 may communicate with each BS via a backhaul. These BSs may also communicate with each other directly or indirectly, for example, via a wireless or wired backhaul.

[0034] UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring, a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0035] Some UEs may be considered machine type communication (MTC) UEs, or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, etc., which can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network (such as the Internet) or a cellular network), for example, via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs may be considered customer premises equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as a processor component, a memory component, and the like.

[0036] In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a specific radio access technology (RAT) and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0037] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary) using one or more sidelink channels. For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, etc.), mesh networks, etc. In this scenario, the UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

[0038] As indicated above, Figure 1 are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from those described in Figure 1 Examples described.

[0039] Figure 2 A block diagram shows a design 200 of a base station 110 and a UE 120, which may be Figure 1One for each base station and one for each UE in . Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a through 252r, where in general T≧1 and R≧1.

[0040] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 may receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on a channel quality indicator (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, etc.), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, as applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a through 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and frequency upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a through 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a through 234t, respectively. According to various aspects described in greater detail below, position coding may be utilized to generate synchronization signals to convey additional information.

[0041] At UE 120, antennas 252a through 252r may receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a through 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a through 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols where applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller / processor 280. The channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), channel quality indicator (CQI), etc. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing.

[0042] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.) from the controller / processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266, if applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted to the base station 110. At the base station 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the demodulator 232, detected by the MIMO detector 236, if applicable, and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide decoded data to data sink 239 and decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292.

[0043] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2Any other component(s) of the base station 110 may perform one or more techniques associated with uplink preemption for multi-slot uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component(s) may perform or direct e.g. Figure 5 The process of 500 Figure 6 600, and / or operations of other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include: a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120, may perform or direct, for example, Figure 5 The process of 500 Figure 6 The scheduler 246 may schedule UEs for data transmission on the downlink and / or uplink.

[0044] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: a device for receiving an uplink cancellation indication, which identifies one or more first time domain resources, during which the UE will suppress transmitting at least a portion of a PUSCH transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more first time domain resources, wherein the PUSCH transmission is a multi-slot transmission carrying multiplexed uplink control information; a device for identifying one or more second time domain resources after the one or more first time domain resources, during which the UE will transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission or another portion of the PUSCH transmission; and a device for transmitting at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission or the other portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on receiving the uplink cancellation indication, etc. In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for receiving an uplink cancellation indication, the uplink cancellation indication identifying one or more first time domain resources during which the UE is to refrain from transmitting at least a portion of a PUSCH transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more first time domain resources, wherein the PUSCH transmission is a multi-slot transmission carrying multiplexed uplink control information in a payload of the PUSCH transmission; means for determining whether to transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during one or more second time domain resources subsequent to the one or more first time domain resources based at least in part on a priority associated with the payload of the PUSCH transmission; and means for selectively transmitting at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on determining whether to transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources, etc. In some aspects, such means may include, in combination with Figure 2 One or more components of UE 120 are depicted, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and the like.

[0045] As indicated above, Figure 2 are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from those described in Figure 2 Examples described.

[0046] Many devices, such as smart wearables, industrial sensors, and video surveillance equipment, can use NR-light. NR-light works alongside NR, but with reduced transmit power, reduced computational complexity, extended battery life, and / or a reduced number of transmit and receive antennas compared to NR. NR-light UEs can also use reduced transmit and receive bandwidths. For example, compared to an NR high-end UE using a 100MHz bandwidth, an NR-light UE can use a bandwidth of 5MHz–20MHz. In some aspects, network design involves the coexistence of NR high-end UEs and NR-light UEs.

[0047] An NR light UE (e.g., UE 120) may provide uplink control information (UCI) to a BS (e.g., gNB or BS 110). The UCI may include feedback about the transmission, transmission conditions, or information that may include feedback to the BS. For example, the UCI may include one or more components. These components may include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback and / or channel state information (CSI) reports. A CSI report may include multiple parts, such as CSI part 1 and CSI part 2. To reduce the overhead of transmitting multiple parts of CSI, the NR light UE may multiplex uplink scheduled (UL-SCH) data with the UCI on the PUSCH. In this way, the overhead for multiple CSI parts that would otherwise result from multiple radio resource control (RRC) configurations for different parts, the downlink control information (DCI) overhead for triggering different CSI parts, etc. may be reduced.

[0048] The BS may allocate resource elements (REs) for the multiplexed UCI components. The BS may dynamically schedule or indicate the number of REs to be used for each UCI component. The BS may use some parameters called β offsets to determine the number of REs to be used for each UCI component. The BS may also use a scaling factor A to change the ratio of UCI and UL-SCH data in the PUSCH. In one example, the UE may first determine the number of REs to be used for HARQ-ACK as where Q Beta-ACK Q is the number of REs determined by the β offset value used for HARQ-ACK. PUSCH It can be the total number of REs in the scheduled PUSCH slot (excluding REs used for reference signals). Then, the UE can determine the number of REs used for CSI Part 1 and CSI Part 2 as and where Q Beta-Part1 and Q Beta-Part2 is the number of REs determined by the β offset value for CSI Part 1 and CSI Part 2, respectively. The number of REs reserved for UL-SCH data may be Q UL-SCH =Q PUSCH -QACK -Q Part1 -Q Part2 The UE may map the payload of the UCI component and the UL-SCH data sequentially to the number of REs determined as above. The scheduling priority for the PUSCH slot may be HARQ-ACK > CSI report part 1 > CSI report part 2 > UL-SCH data.

[0049] The UE can determine the number of HARQ-ACK information bits, the modulation order, and the number of REs used for HARQ-ACK (i.e., Q ACK ) to determine the channel decoding rate of HARQ-ACK. The UE can determine the channel decoding rate of CSI part 1 similarly to the channel decoding rate of HARQ-ACK (no omission). CSI part 2 may have a target channel decoding rate that depends on whether UL-SCH data is multiplexed on PUSCH. If UL-SCH data is also multiplexed on PUSCH, then where K tot is the total CB size of all UL-SCH data to be multiplexed onto PUSCH, O Part2 is the CSI part 2 payload size, L Part2 is the number of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits for CSI part 2, and β Part2 is the β offset value used for CSI part 2. If Then CSI part 2 must be omitted step by step (according to some priority rules) until If UL-SCH data is not multiplexed on PUSCH, the UE can T =C MCS / β Part2 To determine the target coding rate for CSI part 2, where C MCS is the decoding rate signaled in the UL grant DCI. If the decoding rate used for CSI part 2 is greater than C T , then CSI part 2 must be omitted until the decoding rate is lower than C T .

[0050] In some cases, NR light UEs can be scheduled to perform multi-slot PUSCH transmissions. In this case, the PUSCH transmission can span multiple time domain resources (e.g., it can span multiple time slots, can include one or more symbols in each of the multiple time slots, etc.). In each time domain resource, the UE can transmit a portion of the PUSCH transmission, and the payload of the PUSCH transmission transmitted in each time domain resource can be the same payload type or a different payload type relative to the payload transmitted in other time domain resources. The payload type may include UL-SCH data, various types of UCI multiplexed with or without UL-SCH data, etc.

[0051] In some cases, a UE's multi-slot PUSCH transmission may overlap or collide with another PUSCH transmission of another UE. In this case, if the other PUSCH transmission is time-sensitive or a high-priority transmission, the BS may transmit an uplink cancellation indication (which may also be referred to as UL preemption cancellation, PUSCH cancellation indication, or other terms). As an example, if a multi-slot PUSCH transmission carries enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) traffic and another PUSCH transmission carries ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) traffic, the BS may transmit an uplink cancellation indication to cause the UE to refrain from transmitting one or more portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission to avoid overlapping or colliding with the other PUSCH transmission.

[0052] However, if the UE refrains from transmitting portions of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission, the BS may be unable to decode the multi-slot PUSCH transmission without the missing portions. Furthermore, the missing portions may contain important multiplexed UCI (such as HARQ feedback and / or CSI reports), which may result in the BS being unable to perform HARQ retransmissions and / or adjust channel parameters for improved downlink communication.

[0053] Some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatus for uplink preemption of multi-slot uplink UCI multiplexing. In some aspects, a UE may receive an uplink cancellation indication. The uplink cancellation indication may identify one or more first time domain resources during which the UE will suppress transmission of at least a portion of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more first time domain resources. The UE may be able to identify one or more second time domain resources during which the UE will transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission (or another portion of the PUSCH transmission), and may be able to determine whether to transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on a priority associated with a payload of the PUSCH transmission. In this way, the UE may be able to transmit the portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission that were canceled by the uplink cancellation indication in subsequent time domain resources. Thus, a BS to which the UE transmits a multi-slot PUSCH transmission can receive more (or all) portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission than if the UE simply discarded portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission, which increases the likelihood that the BS will be able to decode the multi-slot PUSCH transmission. Furthermore, if portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission transmitted in subsequent time-domain resources include multiplexed UCI, the BS can receive the UCI and can perform HARQ retransmissions based at least in part on the UCI, can adjust channel parameters based at least in part on the UCI for improved downlink communication, and the like.

[0054] Figures 3A-3C 1 is a diagram illustrating one or more examples 300 of uplink preemption for multi-slot uplink UCI multiplexing according to various aspects of the present disclosure. Figures 3A-3C As shown in , example(s) 300 may include communication between a UE (e.g., UE 120) and a BS (e.g., BS 110). In some aspects, the UE and the BS may be included in a wireless network (e.g., wireless network 100). In some aspects, the UE and the BS may communicate via an access link (which may include a downlink and an uplink).

[0055] In some aspects, the UE may be an NR light UE (which may also be referred to as a reduced capability UE) and may multiplex UCI (e.g., with other UCI, with UL-SCH data, etc.) in a PUSCH transmission and may transmit the PUSCH transmission on the uplink to the BS. In some aspects, the PUSCH transmission may be a multi-slot PUSCH transmission that spans multiple slots or other types of time domain resources. In this case, the UE may transmit different types of payloads for the multi-slot PUSCH transmission in each slot. For example, the UE may transmit a HARQ feedback payload in a first slot, a CSI part 1 payload in a second slot, a CSI part 2 payload in a third slot, a UL-SCH data payload in a fourth slot, and so on.

[0056] In some aspects, a UE may be able to transmit various types of uplink traffic to a BS, such as eMBB traffic, URLLC traffic, etc. In some cases, the UE may be configured or scheduled to transmit uplink traffic in time domain resources and / or frequency domain resources in which the uplink traffic overlaps with a higher priority uplink transmission or a time-sensitive transmission from another UE. As an example, the UE may be scheduled or configured to transmit eMBB traffic in the time domain resources and / or frequency domain resources of a URLLC transmission from another UE.

[0057] like Figure 3A In the embodiment and indicated by reference numeral 302, a UE may receive an uplink cancellation indication that identifies one or more first time domain resources during which the UE is to refrain from transmitting at least a portion of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more first time domain resources. In some aspects, the uplink cancellation indication may be included in an uplink grant (e.g., an uplink grant field) in a DCI communication.

[0058] The one or more first time domain resources may be time domain resources in which the portion of the PUSCH transmission overlaps or collides with another uplink transmission from another UE. For example, the one or more first time domain resources may identify one or more time slots in which the portion of the PUSCH transmission overlaps or collides with another uplink transmission, or may identify one or more symbols within a time slot (or multiple time slots) in which the portion of the PUSCH transmission overlaps or collides with the other uplink transmission, etc.

[0059] like Figure 3A3 and further indicated by reference numeral 304, the UE may identify one or more second time domain resources during which the UE will transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission and / or another portion of the PUSCH transmission. In some aspects, the one or more second time domain resources may occur after the one or more first time domain resources such that the UE may refrain from transmitting the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more first time domain resources and may defer transmission of the portion of the PUSCH transmission to the one or more second time domain resources.

[0060] In some aspects, the number of the one or more second time domain resources may be based at least in part on the number of the one or more first time domain resources. For example, if the UE will refrain from transmitting the portion of the PUSCH transmission in a specific number of symbols and / or time slots in the one or more first time domain resources, the second time domain resources may be scheduled or configured to include at least the same number of symbols and / or time slots. In this way, the one or more second time domain resources include a sufficient number of resources for the UE to defer transmission of the portion of the PUSCH transmission to the one or more second time domain resources. In some aspects, the one or more first time domain resources and the one or more second time domain resources may be associated with the same frequency domain resource allocation and / or the same time domain resource allocation.

[0061] In some aspects, the UE may identify the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on a configuration for the UE. For example, the UE may be programmed and / or otherwise configured to identify the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on the one or more first time domain resources. In some aspects, the UE may identify the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on signaling received from the BS. In this case, the BS may explicitly indicate the one or more second time domain resources to the UE in an uplink cancellation indication, in RRC signaling received from the BS, or the like.

[0062] like Figure 3A , and further indicated by reference numeral 306, the UE may transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission and / or another portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources.

[0063] Figure 3B and 3C Respective examples of transmitting at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission and / or another portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources are illustrated.Other example configurations of transmissions may be performed by a UE based at least in part on the techniques described herein.

[0064] like Figure 3BAs shown in FIG, a UE may be scheduled or configured to transmit portions 1 to 4 of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission across slots 0-3, respectively. The UE may receive an uplink cancellation indication from the BS, wherein the indication identifies slot 1 as cancelled. In this example, the UE may refrain from transmitting portion 1 in slot 1 and may defer transmission of portion 1 to slot 4, which may be an uplink cancellation resource scheduled for the purpose of deferring transmission. In another example, if one or more symbols in which portion 1 was to be transmitted in slot 1 are cancelled by the uplink cancellation indication, the UE may defer transmission of portion 1 to one or more symbols in slot 4.

[0065] like Figure 3C As shown in , a UE may be scheduled or configured to transmit parts 1 to 4 of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission across time slots 0-3, respectively. The UE may receive an uplink cancellation indication from the BS, wherein the indication identifies time slot 1 as being cancelled. In this example, the UE may refrain from transmitting part 1 in time slot 1 and may defer transmission of part 1 to time slot 2, which may be diverted to the deferred transmission of part 1. In this scenario, transmission of parts 2 and 3 may also be deferred to accommodate transmission of part 1 in time slot 2. For example, part 2 may then be transmitted in time slot 3, and part 3 may be transmitted in time slot 4. Time slot 4 may be an uplink cancellation resource scheduled or configured based at least in part on the uplink cancellation indication.

[0066] In this manner, the UE is able to transmit portions of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission that were canceled by an uplink cancellation indication in subsequent time-domain resources. Consequently, compared to a case where the UE simply discards portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission, the BS to which the UE transmits the multi-slot PUSCH transmission can receive more (or all) portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission, which increases the likelihood that the BS will be able to decode the multi-slot PUSCH transmission. Furthermore, if portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission transmitted in subsequent time-domain resources include multiplexed UCI, the BS can receive the UCI and can perform HARQ retransmissions based at least in part on the UCI, can adjust channel parameters based at least in part on the UCI for improved downlink communication, and so on.

[0067] As indicated above, Figures 3A-3C is provided as one or more examples. Other examples may differ from those regarding Figures 3A-3C Examples described.

[0068] Figures 4A-4C 1 is a diagram illustrating one or more examples 400 of uplink preemption for multi-slot uplink UCI multiplexing according to various aspects of the present disclosure. Figures 4A-4CAs shown in , example(s) 400 may include communication between a UE (e.g., UE 120) and a BS (e.g., BS 110). In some aspects, the UE and the BS may be included in a wireless network (e.g., wireless network 100). In some aspects, the UE and the BS may communicate via an access link (which may include a downlink and an uplink).

[0069] In some aspects, the UE may be an NR light UE (which may also be referred to as a reduced capability UE) and may multiplex UCI (e.g., with other UCI, with UL-SCH data, etc.) in a PUSCH transmission and may transmit the PUSCH transmission on the uplink to the BS. In some aspects, the PUSCH transmission may be a multi-slot PUSCH transmission that spans multiple slots or other types of time domain resources. In this case, the UE may transmit different types of payloads for the multi-slot PUSCH transmission in each slot. For example, the UE may transmit a HARQ feedback payload in a first slot, a CSI part 1 payload in a second slot, a CSI part 2 payload in a third slot, a UL-SCH data payload in a fourth slot, and so on.

[0070] In some aspects, a UE may be able to transmit various types of uplink traffic to a BS, such as eMBB traffic, URLLC traffic, etc. In some cases, the UE may be configured or scheduled to transmit uplink traffic in time domain resources and / or frequency domain resources in which the uplink traffic overlaps with a higher priority uplink transmission or a time-sensitive transmission from another UE. As an example, the UE may be scheduled or configured to transmit eMBB traffic in the time domain resources and / or frequency domain resources of a URLLC transmission from another UE.

[0071] like Figure 4A In the embodiment and indicated by reference numeral 402, a UE may receive an uplink cancellation indication that identifies one or more first time domain resources during which the UE is to refrain from transmitting at least a portion of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more first time domain resources. In some aspects, the uplink cancellation indication may be included in an uplink grant (e.g., an uplink grant field) in a DCI communication.

[0072] The one or more first time domain resources may be time domain resources in which a portion of the PUSCH transmission overlaps or collides with another uplink transmission from another UE. For example, the one or more first time domain resources may identify one or more time slots in which the portion of the PUSCH transmission overlaps or collides with another uplink transmission, or may identify one or more symbols within a time slot (or multiple time slots) in which the portion of the PUSCH transmission overlaps or collides with the other uplink transmission, etc.

[0073] like Figure 4A In the embodiment and further indicated by reference numeral 404, the UE may determine whether to transmit the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on a priority associated with a payload of the PUSCH transmission. In this manner, instead of (or in addition to) scheduling additional resources to accommodate the deferred transmission of the portion of the PUSCH transmission, the UE may identify another time domain (e.g., one or more second time domain resources) scheduled for another uplink transmission and may determine whether to puncture the another uplink transmission based at least in part on a priority associated with a payload of the PUSCH transmission.

[0074] In some aspects, the UE may identify the one or more second time domain resources as the next closest time domain resources in the time domain after the one or more first time domain resources. In some aspects, multiple parts of the PUSCH transmission will be transmitted in one or more second time domain resources (e.g., so that the one or more time domain resources include multiple time domain resources), and the UE may use various techniques to identify the transmission of the multiple parts and / or map the transmission of the multiple parts to the multiple second time domain resources. For example, the multiple parts may be mapped in the order in which they appear. In this case, the first part (e.g., the first to appear in the time domain) may be mapped to the first resource of the multiple second time domain resources, the second part (e.g., the second to appear in the time domain) may be mapped to the second resource of the multiple second time domain resources, and so on. As another example, the multiple parts may be mapped based at least in part on the priority of the corresponding payload included in each of the multiple parts. In this case, the first portion with the highest priority payload may be mapped to a first resource of the plurality of second time domain resources, the second portion with the second highest priority payload may be mapped to a second resource of the plurality of second time domain resources, and so on.

[0075] In some aspects, the UE may determine whether to transmit the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources by determining whether a priority associated with the payload satisfies a priority threshold. For example, the UE may determine to transmit the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on determining that the priority associated with the payload satisfies the priority threshold. As another example, the UE may determine to refrain from transmitting the portion of the PUSCH transmission in the one or more second time domain resources (e.g., such that the portion is punctured, dropped, or canceled in the one or more first time domain resources without being deferred for transmission) based at least in part on determining that the priority associated with the payload does not satisfy the priority threshold.

[0076] In some aspects, if the payload type differs across one or more first time-domain resources used for a PUSCH transmission, the UE may determine whether to transmit each portion of the PUSCH transmission in a corresponding time slot based at least in part on a priority associated with the payload of each portion. In this case, some portions of the PUSCH transmission may be transmitted during the one or more second time-domain resources, while other portions of the PUSCH transmission may not be transmitted during the one or more second time-domain resources.

[0077] In some aspects, the priority threshold may be programmed and / or otherwise configured for the UE. In some aspects, the priority threshold may be indicated to the UE in RRC signaling, the priority threshold may be indicated to the UE in an uplink cancellation indication, and the like.

[0078] In some aspects, the UE may further determine whether to transmit the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on a priority associated with a payload of another uplink transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more second time domain resources. For example, the UE may determine to transmit the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on determining that a priority associated with the payload of the portion of the PUSCH transmission satisfies a priority threshold and that a payload of another PUSCH transmission (e.g., which may be another portion of the PUSCH transmission or a portion of another PUSCH transmission) does not satisfy the priority threshold.

[0079] As another example, the UE may determine to transmit the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on determining that the priority associated with the payload of the portion of the PUSCH transmission is higher than the priority associated with the payload of another uplink transmission. In this case, a priority hierarchy may be defined for different payload types. In the hierarchy, the priority associated with UCI payload (e.g., HARQ feedback, CSI part 1, CSI part 2, etc.) may be higher than the priority associated with UL-SCH data. In addition, the priority associated with HARQ-ACK may be assigned the highest priority for UCI payloads, CSI part 1 may be assigned the second highest priority for UCI payloads, and CSI part 2 may be assigned the next highest priority for UCI payloads. In other examples, the priorities may be different and may be based at least in part on other parameters, such as CSI report component priority rules.

[0080] like Figure 4A 4 and further indicated by reference numeral 406, the UE may selectively transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on determining to transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources.

[0081] As an example, the UE may determine that a priority associated with a payload of a PUSCH transmission satisfies a priority threshold, and may determine that a priority associated with a payload of another PUSCH transmission scheduled for the one or more second time domain resources does not satisfy the priority threshold. The UE may determine, based at least in part on determining that the priority associated with the payload of the PUSCH transmission satisfies the priority threshold and the priority associated with the payload of the another PUSCH transmission does not satisfy the priority threshold, to refrain from transmitting the another PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources and to transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources. Thus, the UE may transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources. In some aspects, the UE may further refrain from transmitting one or more reference signals scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more second time domain resources.

[0082] In some aspects, the UE may determine that a priority associated with a payload of the PUSCH transmission is higher than a priority associated with a payload of another PUSCH transmission scheduled for the one or more second time-domain resources. Accordingly, the UE may refrain from transmitting the other PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time-domain resources based at least in part on determining that the priority associated with the payload of the PUSCH transmission is higher than a priority associated with a payload of the other PUSCH transmission and may transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time-domain resources.

[0083] In some aspects, the UE may transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources at an increased transmit power relative to the transmit power configured to transmit the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more first time domain resources. In some aspects, the increased transmit power may be indicated in an uplink cancellation indication, indicated in RRC signaling to the UE, programmed or configured at the UE, etc. In some aspects, the UE may be configured to transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources at the increased transmit power based at least in part on one or more reference signals being scheduled to transmit during the one or more second time domain resources.

[0084] In some aspects, the UE may determine that a priority associated with the payload of the PUSCH transmission does not satisfy a priority threshold, and may refrain from transmitting at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time-domain resources based at least in part on determining that the priority associated with the payload of the PUSCH transmission does not satisfy the priority threshold. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the priority associated with the payload of the PUSCH transmission is lower than a priority associated with a payload of another PUSCH transmission scheduled for the one or more second time-domain resources. Accordingly, the UE may refrain from transmitting at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time-domain resources based at least in part on determining that the priority associated with the payload of the PUSCH transmission is lower than a priority associated with a payload of another PUSCH transmission.

[0085] Figure 4B and 4C Respective examples of transmitting at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time domain resources are illustrated.Other example configurations of transmissions may be performed by a UE based at least in part on the techniques described herein.

[0086] like Figure 4BAs shown in FIG, a UE may be scheduled or configured to transmit portions 1 to 4 of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission across time slots 0-3, respectively. The UE may receive an uplink cancellation indication from the base station, wherein the indication identifies one or more symbols in time slot 1 and one or more symbols in time slot 2 as cancelled. In this example, the UE may refrain from transmitting portion 2, which occupies the one or more symbols in time slot 1, in time slot 1, and may refrain from transmitting portion 3, which occupies the one or more symbols in time slot 2, in time slot 2. The UE may identify time slot 3 as the first time slot following the time slot affected by the uplink cancellation indication. The UE may determine to defer transmission of the one or more cancelled symbols from time slot 1 and time slot 2 to time slot 3 based at least in part on the priority of the payload included in portion 2 and the priority of the payload included in portion 3. In this example, the UE may determine that the priority of the payload included in portion 2 and the priority of the payload included in portion 3 both meet a priority threshold and / or have a higher priority than portion 4 (e.g., which includes a UL-SCH data payload type) to be transmitted in time slot 3.

[0087] like Figure 4C As shown in , the UE may be scheduled or configured to transmit portions 1 to 4 of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission across slots 0-3, respectively. The UE may receive an uplink cancellation indication from the BS, wherein the indication identifies one or more symbols in slot 3 as cancelled. In this example, the UE may determine that the priority associated with the payload (e.g., UL-SCH data) to be transmitted in the one or more symbols does not meet a priority threshold. Therefore, the UE may refrain from transmitting portion 4 in the one or more symbols without performing a deferred transmission for the one or more symbols.

[0088] In this manner, the UE is able to transmit portions of a multi-slot PUSCH transmission that were canceled by an uplink cancellation indication in subsequent time-domain resources. Consequently, compared to a case where the UE simply discards portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission, the BS to which the UE transmits the multi-slot PUSCH transmission can receive more (or all) portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission, which increases the likelihood that the BS will be able to decode the multi-slot PUSCH transmission. Furthermore, if portions of the multi-slot PUSCH transmission transmitted in subsequent time-domain resources include multiplexed UCI, the BS can receive the UCI and can perform HARQ retransmissions based at least in part on the UCI, can adjust channel parameters based at least in part on the UCI for improved downlink communication, and so on.

[0089] As indicated above, Figures 4A-4C is provided as one or more examples. Other examples may differ from those regarding Figures 4A-4C Examples described.

[0090] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example process 500, performed, for example, by a UE, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Example process 500 is an example of operations in which a UE (eg, UE 120) performs uplink preemption for multi-slot UCI multiplexing.

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown in , in some aspects, process 500 may include receiving an uplink cancellation indication that identifies one or more first time domain resources during which the UE is to refrain from transmitting at least a portion of a PUSCH transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more first time domain resources, wherein the PUSCH transmission is a multi-slot transmission carrying multiplexed uplink control information (block 510). For example, the UE (e.g., using the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, the controller / processor 280, the memory 282, etc.) may receive an uplink cancellation indication that identifies one or more first time domain resources during which the UE is to refrain from transmitting at least a portion of a PUSCH transmission scheduled to be transmitted during the one or more first time domain resources, as described above. In some aspects, the PUSCH transmission is a multi-slot transmission carrying multiplexed uplink control information.

[0092] like Figure 5 As further shown in , in some aspects, process 500 may include identifying one or more second time domain resources subsequent to the one or more first time domain resources, during which the UE will transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission or another portion of the PUSCH transmission. For example, the UE (e.g., using the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, the controller / processor 280, the memory 282, etc.) may identify one or more second time domain resources subsequent to the one or more first time domain resources, during which the UE will transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission or another portion of the PUSCH transmission, as described above.

[0093] like Figure 5As further shown in FIG5 , in some aspects, process 500 may include transmitting at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission or the other portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time-domain resources based at least in part on receiving the uplink cancellation indication (block 530). For example, the UE (e.g., using receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, controller / processor 280, memory 282, etc.) may transmit at least the portion of the PUSCH transmission or the other portion of the PUSCH transmission during the one or more second time-domain resources based at least in part on receiving the uplink cancellation indication, as described above.

[0094] Process 500 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0095] In a first aspect, the one or more first time domain resources and the one or more second time domain resources each comprise at least one of one or more time slots or one or more symbols. In a second aspect, either alone or in combination with the first aspect, the number of the one or more second time domain resources is based at least in part on the number of the one or more first time domain resources. In a third aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the one or more first time domain resources and the one or more second time domain resources are both associated with at least one of the same frequency domain resource allocation or the same time domain resource allocation.

[0096] In a fourth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to third aspects, identifying the one or more second time domain resources comprises identifying the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on radio resource control signaling received at the UE or at least one of the one or more second time domain resources configured for the UE. In a fifth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fourth aspects, identifying the one or more second time domain resources comprises identifying the one or more second time domain resources based at least in part on an explicit indication of the one or more second time domain resources in an uplink cancellation indication. In a sixth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fifth aspects, the uplink cancellation indication is included in an uplink grant in a downlink control information communication.

[0097] although Figure 5 Example blocks of process 500 are shown, but in some aspects, process 500 may include Figure 5 5. In some embodiments, the process 500 may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in FIG. Additionally or alternatively, two or more blocks of process 500 may be executed in parallel.
