Technical Field

[0003]

[0006] In general, aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and to techniques and apparatus for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) mapping type for PDSCH repetition in a slot. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies that can support 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) that may support communications for several user equipments (UEs). The UE may communicate with the BS via a downlink and an uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, the 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, etc.

[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user devices to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR (which may also be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set to the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving services, utilizing new spectrum, and using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with 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, so as to better support mobile broadband Internet access. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, there is a need for further improvements to NR and LTE technologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access technologies and telecommunication standards that adopt these technologies. Summary of the invention

[0007] In some aspects, a method of wireless communication performed by a UE may include: receiving a downlink control information (DCI) communication that schedules a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity; and determining a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on receiving the DCI communication that schedules the PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity.

[0008] In some aspects, a UE for wireless communication may include a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. For example, the one or more processors may be coupled to the memory operatively, electrically, communicatively, or otherwise. The memory may include instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the UE to perform the following operations: receive a DCI communication that schedules a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity; and determine a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on receiving the DCI communication that schedules the PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity.

[0009] In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may store one or more instructions for wireless communication. The one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, may cause the UE to perform the following operations: receive a DCI communication that schedules a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity; and determine a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on receiving the DCI communication that schedules a PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity.

[0010] In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication may include: a unit for receiving a DCI communication that schedules a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity; and a unit for determining a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on receiving the DCI communication that schedules the PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity.

[0011] The various aspects generally include methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products, non-transitory computer-readable media, user equipment, base stations, wireless communication devices and / or processing systems as fully described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings and description and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings and description.

[0020] The following is a more complete description of various aspects of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms, and should not be interpreted as being limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the present disclosure. More specifically, these aspects are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and the scope of the present disclosure will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings of this article, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether the aspect is implemented independently of any other aspect of the present disclosure or implemented in combination with any other aspect. For example, using any number of aspects set forth herein, a device can be implemented or a method can be practiced. In addition, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such a device or method that is practiced using other structures, functions, or structures and functions other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein or different from the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein can be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0021] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be 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.

[0022] It should be noted that although various aspects may be described herein using terms commonly associated with 3G and / or 4G wireless technologies, various aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable to communication systems based on other generations, such as 5G and later communication systems (including NR technology).

[0023] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram showing 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 a 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 receive point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to a coverage area of ​​a BS and / or a BS subsystem serving the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0024] 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 subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. 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 , 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.

[0025] 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 with each other and / or with one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces (e.g., direct physical connections, virtual networks, etc.) using any appropriate transport network.

[0026] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that is capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown in FIG. 1 , a relay station 110 d may communicate with a macro BS 110 a and a UE 120 d to facilitate communication between the BS 110 a and the UE 120 d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, a relay base station, a relay, or the like.

[0027] 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 effects 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).

[0028] The network controller 130 may be coupled to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. The network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with each other directly or indirectly via a wireless or wired backhaul.

[0029] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) can be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE can be stationary or mobile. UE can also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. UE can be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), 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 device, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or apparatus, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet, etc.)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio unit, etc.), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, an industrial manufacturing device, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0030] Some UEs may be considered as machine type communication (MTC) 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. that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide a connection to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or a cellular network) via, for example, a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs may be considered as customer premises equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120 (e.g., processor components, memory components, etc.).

[0031] Typically, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network can support a specific radio access technology (RAT) and can operate on one or more frequencies. RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, etc. Frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can 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 can be deployed.

[0032] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary for communicating with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, etc.), mesh network, etc. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0033] As indicated above, Figure 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 1 as described.

[0034] Figure 2 A base station 110 and a UE 120 (which may be Figure 1 1. Block diagram of design 200 of a base station in a base station and a UE in a UE. 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.

[0035] At the base station 110, the transmit processor 220 may receive data for one or more UEs from the 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 the UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. The transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI), etc.) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, etc.), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signals (PSS) and secondary synchronization signals (SSS)). The 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, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MOD) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a corresponding 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 up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively. According to various aspects described in more detail below, synchronization signals may be generated using position coding to transmit additional information.

[0036] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r may receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 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 to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if 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.

[0037] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information from a controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.). 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 transmitted by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide decoded data to a data sink 239 and decoded control information to a controller / processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292.

[0038] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2Any other component in the base station 110 may perform one or more techniques associated with determining a PDSCH mapping type for a PDSCH repetition in a time slot, 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 of the Figure 6 The process 600 and / or other processes as described herein, or guides such as Figure 6 The operations of process 600 and / or 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, one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120, may perform, for example, Figure 6 The process 600 and / or other processes as described herein, or instructions such as Figure 6 The scheduler 246 may schedule UEs for data transmission on the downlink and / or uplink.

[0039] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for receiving a DCI communication scheduling a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity; means for determining a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on receiving the DCI communication scheduling a PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include combining 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, etc.

[0040] As indicated above, Figure 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 2 as described.

[0041] Figure 3300 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a DL-centric time slot or wireless communication structure. The DL-centric time slot may include a control portion 302. The control portion 302 may be present at an initial or beginning portion of the DL-centric time slot. The control portion 302 may include various scheduling information and / or control information corresponding to various portions of the DL-centric time slot. In some configurations, the control portion 302 may be a physical DL control channel (PDCCH), such as in Figure 3 In some aspects, the control portion 302 may include legacy PDCCH information, shortened PDCCH (sPDCCH) information, a control format indicator (CFI) value (e.g., carried on a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH)), one or more grants (e.g., downlink grant, uplink grant, etc.), etc.

[0042] The DL-centric time slot may also include a DL data portion 304. The DL data portion 304 may sometimes be referred to as the payload of the DL-centric time slot. The DL data portion 304 may include communication resources for transmitting DL data from a scheduling entity (e.g., a UE or BS) to a subordinate entity (e.g., a UE). In some configurations, the DL data portion 304 may be a physical DL shared channel (PDSCH).

[0043] The DL-centric time slot may also include a UL short burst portion 306. The UL short burst portion 306 may sometimes be referred to as a UL burst, a UL burst portion, a common UL burst, a short burst, a UL short burst, a common UL short burst, a common UL short burst portion, and / or various other appropriate terms. In some aspects, the UL short burst portion 306 may include one or more reference signals. Additionally or alternatively, the UL short burst portion 306 may include feedback information corresponding to various other portions of the DL-centric time slot. For example, the UL short burst portion 306 may include feedback information corresponding to the control portion 302 and / or the data portion 304. Non-limiting examples of information that may be included in the UL short burst portion 306 include an ACK signal (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) acknowledgement (ACK), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) acknowledgement (ACK), an immediate ACK, a negative acknowledgement (NACK) signal (e.g., PUCCH NACK, PUSCH NACK, immediate NACK), a scheduling request (SR), a buffer status report (BSR), a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indicator, a channel state information (CSI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), a sounding reference signal (SRS), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), PUSCH data, and / or various other suitable types of information. The UL short burst portion 306 may include additional or alternative information, such as information related to a random access channel (RACH) procedure, a scheduling request, and various other suitable types of information.

[0044] As in Figure 3 , the end of the DL data portion 304 can be separated in time from the beginning of the UL short burst portion 306. This time separation may sometimes be referred to as a gap, a guard period, a guard interval, and / or various other appropriate terms. This separation provides time for switching from DL communication (e.g., a receive operation performed by a slave entity (e.g., a UE)) to UL communication (e.g., a transmit operation performed by a slave entity (e.g., a UE)). The foregoing is an example of a DL-centric wireless communication structure, and alternative structures with similar features may exist without necessarily departing from the aspects described herein.

[0045] As indicated above, Figure 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 3 as described.

[0046] Figure 4 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a UL-centric time slot or wireless communication structure. The UL-centric time slot may include a control portion 402. The control portion 402 may be present at the beginning or the start of the UL-centric time slot. Figure 4 The control portion 402 in can be similar to the above reference Figure 3 The control portion 302 described above. The UL-centric time slot may also include a UL long burst portion 404. The UL long burst portion 404 may sometimes be referred to as the payload of the UL-centric time slot. The "UL portion" may refer to communication resources used to transmit UL data from a subordinate entity (e.g., a UE) to a scheduling entity (e.g., a UE or a BS). In some configurations, the control portion 402 may be a physical DL control channel (PDCCH).

[0047] As in Figure 4 , the end of the control portion 402 may be separated in time from the beginning of the UL long burst portion 404. This separation in time may sometimes be referred to as a gap, a guard period, a guard interval, and / or various other appropriate terms. This separation provides time for switching from DL communications (e.g., receiving operations performed by the scheduling entity) to UL communications (e.g., transmitting operations performed by the scheduling entity).

[0048] The UL-centric timeslot may also include a UL short burst portion 406. Figure 4 The UL short burst portion 406 in the embodiment may be similar to that described above with reference to Figure 3 The UL short burst portion 306 described above may include the combination of Figure 3 Any of the information described. The foregoing is one example of a UL-centric wireless communication structure, and alternative structures with similar features may exist without necessarily departing from the various aspects described herein.

[0049] In one example, a wireless communication structure (e.g., a frame) may include both UL-centric time slots and DL-centric time slots. In this example, the ratio of UL-centric time slots to DL-centric time slots in a frame may be dynamically adjusted based at least in part on the amount of UL data and the amount of DL data transmitted. For example, if there is more UL data, the ratio of UL-centric time slots to DL-centric time slots may be increased. Conversely, if there is more DL data, the ratio of UL-centric time slots to DL-centric time slots may be reduced.

[0050] As indicated above, Figure 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figure 4 as described.

[0051] In some wireless communication systems, the time domain resource allocation (TDRA) associated with the scheduling of PDSCH is indicated via DCI. Typically, the TDRA field points to a TDRA table entry that identifies the mapping type associated with the PDSCH (e.g., mapping type A, mapping type B, etc.), the slot offset K0 (e.g., the number of slots from the slot in which the DCI is received to the slot in which the PDSCH is scheduled), the starting symbol S of the PDSCH, and the allocation length L of the PDSCH. The starting symbol S and the allocation length L can be a function of the mapping type, and can be indicated separately or jointly (e.g., using a start and length indicator value (SLIV)). The length of the TDRA field can be between 0 and 4 bits (e.g., depending on the TDRA table to be used by the UE).

[0052] The mapping type indicates the manner in which the PDSCH is mapped in the time slot carrying the PDSCH. For example, mapping type A indicates that the first DMRS symbol of the PDSCH is on the third symbol (symbol 2) of the time slot or the fourth symbol (symbol 3) of the time slot, and the starting symbol of the PDSCH can be any symbol (symbol 0, symbol 1, symbol 2, or symbol 3) of the first four symbols of the time slot. For mapping type A, a bit in the master information block (MIB) indicates whether the first DMRS symbol of the PDSCH is the third symbol or the fourth symbol, and the starting symbol of the PDSCH is indicated by TDRA, as described above. As another example, mapping type B indicates that the first DMRS symbol of the PDSCH is the first symbol of the PDSCH, and the starting symbol of the PDSCH can be any symbol in the time slot except the last symbol of the time slot. For mapping type B, the starting symbol of the PDSCH is indicated by TDRA, as described above.

[0053] In addition, in some cases, the UE may be configured to implement a scheme associated with time division multiplexing of multiple PDSCH transmission opportunities within a single time slot. According to such a scheme, a single DCI is used to schedule a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity in a single time slot (e.g., so that a PDSCH transmission and at least one repetition of a PDSCH transmission occur in the same time slot). Here, the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity are associated with different transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states within a single time slot, and non-overlapping time resource allocations are used. For example, in a multi-transmitting and receiving point (multi-TRP) scenario for supporting high reliability and / or low latency communications (e.g., ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)), it may be advantageous to use such a scheme, such as the so-called "Scheme 3" (also known as TDM Scheme A).

[0054] According to a scheme associated with time division multiplexing of multiple PDSCH transmission opportunities within a single time slot, a single DCI communication may be used when scheduling a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity. For example, the TCI field of the DCI communication may indicate two TCI states. Here, the UE may determine that the TCI field indicates two TCI states, and may therefore determine that the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI communication includes a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity. In some cases, the starting symbol of the second transmission opportunity has a symbol offset K relative to the last symbol of the first transmission opportunity. The value of K may be configured, for example, by radio resource control (RRC) signaling, or, if not configured, is set to a value of 0. The starting symbol of the first transmission opportunity and the length of the first transmission opportunity are indicated by the TDRA field (e.g., in the manner described above, such as using SLIV), and the length of the second transmission opportunity is assumed to be the same as the length of the first transmission opportunity.

[0055] As noted above, when implementing a scheme associated with time division multiplexing of multiple PDSCH transmission opportunities within a single time slot (e.g., TDM Scheme A), the TDRA field of the DCI communication may indicate a row of a TDRA table, wherein the row of the TDRA table indicates a value for a time slot offset K0, a start symbol S of the PDSCH, and an allocation length L of the PDSCH symbol (e.g., using SLIV individually or jointly), and a mapping type (e.g., mapping type A, mapping type B, etc.). Here, the UE may be configured to apply the start symbol S as indicated by the TDRA field to the first transmission opportunity, and to apply the allocation length L to both the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity. However, the UE should be configured in such a manner that it interprets the mapping type indicated by the TDRA field so as to enable the UE to determine the location of the DMRS symbols for the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity within the time slot, which enables the UE to attempt to receive the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity in the time slot.

[0056] Some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatus associated with determining a PDSCH mapping type for a PDSCH repetition in a time slot. In some aspects, a UE may receive a DCI communication that schedules a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity, and may determine a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on receiving the DCI communication. Additional details are described below.

[0057] Figures 5A-5D is a diagram illustrating an example associated with a PDSCH mapping type determination for PDSCH repetition in a slot according to various aspects of the present disclosure. Figures 5A-5DIn the illustrated example, a UE (e.g., UE 120) is configured to implement a scheme associated with time division multiplexing of multiple transmission opportunities within a single time slot. For example, the UE may be configured to implement TDM Scheme A (e.g., based at least in part on the RRC parameter RepSchemeEnabler being set to "TDMScheme A").

[0058] As in Figure 5A As shown by reference numeral 505 in the figure, the UE may receive a DCI communication that schedules a PDSCH that includes a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity. For example, the UE may receive a DCI communication in which the TCI field indicates two TCI states (e.g., a first TCI state and a second TCI state). Here, the UE may determine that the DCI communication schedules a PDSCH that includes a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on the TCI field indicating the two TCI states. That is, the TCI field indicating the two TCI states may serve as an indication that the scheduled PDSCH includes a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity.

[0059] As indicated by reference numeral 510, the UE may determine a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on receiving the DCI communication. For example, the UE may determine the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on determining that the DCI communication schedules a PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity.

[0060] In some aspects, the UE may determine a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity based at least in part on a mapping type indicated via a DCI communication, and may determine a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on an assumed mapping type. In such a case, in some aspects, the mapping type indicated via the DCI communication may be mapping type A or mapping type B, and the assumed mapping type may be mapping type B. Note that in this case, the assumed mapping type may be mapping type B because the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity cannot both be mapping type A (e.g., because in such a case, the positions of the first DMRS symbols of the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity would be required to be in adjacent symbols).

[0061] Alternatively, in some aspects, the UE may determine a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on an assumed mapping type. In such a case, in some aspects, the assumed mapping type may be mapping type B (e.g., because the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity cannot both be mapping type A). In some aspects, if the mapping type indicated by the DCI communication is different from the assumed mapping type (e.g., if the mapping type indicated by the TDRA field is mapping type A), the UE may identify an error associated with the DCI communication (because the UE does not expect this situation) and / or avoid receiving or processing the PDSCH (e.g., the UE may ignore the DCI communication). Alternatively, in some aspects, when the mapping type indicated by the DCI communication is different from the assumed mapping type, the UE may receive the PDSCH based at least in part on the assumed mapping type rather than the mapping type indicated by the DCI communication (e.g., the UE may ignore the indicated mapping type and receive the PDSCH for both the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity based on mapping type B).

[0062] Alternatively, in some aspects, the UE may determine the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on the mapping type indicated via the DCI communication, and may determine the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity based at least in part on the assumed mapping type. In such a case, in some aspects, the mapping type indicated via the DCI communication may be mapping type A or mapping type B, and the assumed mapping type may be mapping type B. As noted above, in this case, the assumed mapping type is mapping type B because the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity cannot both be mapping type A.

[0063] Alternatively, in some aspects, the UE may determine the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity based at least in part on the first mapping type indicated by the DCI communication, and may determine the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on the second mapping type indicated by the DCI communication. In such a case, the first mapping type indicated by the DCI communication may be mapping type A, and the second mapping type indicated by the DCI communication may be mapping type B. Alternatively, the first mapping type indicated by the DCI communication may be mapping type B, and the second mapping type indicated by the DCI communication may be mapping type A or mapping type B. Note that in this example, the TDRA table may be configured so that each row indicates two mapping types. Therefore, the row of the TDRA table indicated by the TDRA field of the DCI communication may indicate two mapping types to be applied to the two transmission opportunities.

[0064] In some aspects, the UE may identify a technique for determining a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity. That is, in some aspects, the UE may identify one of the above techniques to be used to determine a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity. In some aspects, the UE may identify the technique and may determine a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on the technique.

[0065] In some aspects, the UE may identify a technique for determining a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on a configuration received by the UE. For example, the UE may receive a configuration indicating a technique for determining a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity via RRC signaling, and may identify the technique based at least in part on the configuration.

[0066] Alternatively, the UE may identify a technique for determining a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on a set of parameters. The set of parameters may include, for example, a symbol offset K (e.g., a symbol offset between a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity), a position of a configuration of a DMRS for a PDSCH (e.g., DMRS-TypeA-Position, which is a position of a configuration of a DMRS for a PDSCH associated with mapping type A), a start symbol S (a start symbol for the PDSCH), an allocation length L (a length of the first transmission opportunity and a length of the second transmission opportunity), etc. Here, the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity may be a function of one or more parameters, and the UE may determine the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on applying the function to the one or more parameters.

[0067] As indicated by reference numeral 515, the UE may determine a location of a DMRS for the first transmission opportunity and a location of a DMRS for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity. For example, based at least in part on the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity and the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity, the UE may identify a symbol in a time slot to carry a DMRS for the first transmission opportunity and may identify a symbol in a time slot to carry a DMRS for the second transmission opportunity.

[0068] The UE may receive a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity, as indicated by reference numeral 520. For example, based at least in part on determining a location of a DMRS for the first transmission opportunity and a location of a DMRS for the second transmission opportunity, the UE may attempt to receive the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity within a time slot.

[0069] Figures 5B-5D is a schematic diagram showing various examples of a time slot carrying a PDSCH including a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity. Figures 5B-5D , the symbol offset K is 0, the position for mapping the DMRS of type A is configured as the fourth symbol (symbol 3), two transmission opportunities are scheduled, and the black squares show the positions of the symbols carrying the DMRS. In addition, the gray squares show the positions of the symbols of the first transmission opportunity, and the cross-hatched squares show the positions of the symbols of the second transmission opportunity. The white squares show the positions of the remaining symbols of the time slot (e.g., not used to carry DMR or PDSCH).

[0070] exist Figure 5B In the example time slot shown, the TDRA field of the DCI communication scheduling the PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity indicates the starting symbol S as the third symbol (S=2) and the allocation length L as four symbols (L=4). Figure 5B As noted in , in one example, the TDRA field may indicate a mapping type A that the UE applies to a first transmission opportunity. Such an indication may be used, for example, when the UE is to determine a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity based at least in part on a mapping type indicated via a DCI communication, and is to determine a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on an assumed mapping type. In this example, the UE determines the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity to be mapping type A (as indicated by the TDRA field), and determines the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity to be mapping type B (based on the assumed mapping type being mapping type B).

[0071] As in Figure 5B As further noted in, in another example, the TDRA field may indicate mapping type A and mapping type B ({A, B}). Such an indication may be used, for example, when the UE is to determine a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity based at least in part on a first mapping type indicated by a DCI communication, and to determine a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on a second mapping type indicated by a DCI communication. In this example, the UE determines the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity to be mapping type A (as indicated by the TDRA field), and determines the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity to be mapping type B (as indicated by the TDRA field).

[0072] exist Figure 5C In the example time slot shown in , the TDRA field of the DCI communication scheduling the PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity indicates the starting symbol S as the first symbol (S=0) and the allocation length L as three symbols (L=3). Figure 5C As indicated in , in this example, the TDRA field may indicate a mapping type A that the UE applies to the second transmission opportunity. Such an indication may be used, for example, when the UE is to determine a mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on a mapping type indicated by a DCI communication, and is to determine a mapping type for the first transmission opportunity based at least in part on an assumed mapping type. In this example, the UE determines the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity to be mapping type A (as indicated by the TDRA field), and determines the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity to be mapping type B (based on the assumed mapping type being mapping type B).

[0073] exist Figure 5D In the example time slot shown in , the TDRA field of the DCI communication scheduling the PDSCH including the first transmission opportunity and the second transmission opportunity indicates the starting symbol S as the first symbol (S=2) and the allocation length L as four symbols (L=4). Figure 5D As noted in , in one example, the TDRA field may indicate mapping type B. Such an indication may be used, for example, when the UE is to determine a mapping type for a first transmission opportunity and a mapping type for a second transmission opportunity based at least in part on an assumed mapping type of mapping type B (e.g., when the mapping type indicated by the TDRA field should match the assumed mapping type, or when the mapping type indicated by the TDRA field is to be ignored).

[0074] For example, when the UE is to determine the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity based at least in part on the mapping type indicated by the DCI communication, and is to determine the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on the assumed mapping type, it may also be indicated in Figure 5D In this example, the UE determines the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity to be mapping type B (as indicated by the TDRA field) and determines the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity to be mapping type B (based on the assumption that the mapping type is mapping type B).

[0075] Similarly, for example, when the UE is to determine the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on the mapping type indicated by the DCI communication, and is to determine the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity based at least in part on the assumed mapping type, it may also be indicated in Figure 5DIn this example, the UE determines the mapping type for the second transmission opportunity to be mapping type B (as indicated by the TDRA field) and determines the mapping type for the first transmission opportunity to be mapping type B (based on the assumption that the mapping type is mapping type B).

[0076] As indicated above, Figures 5A-5D is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described above. Figures 5A-5D as described.
