Alternative Communication Resources for Configured Grants

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described, where one or more semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations can provide periodic resources for communication between a base station and a user equipment (UE). One or more of the SPS configurations in the SPS configuration can also provide alternative resources that can be used for communication in the event that communication on the periodic or dynamic scheduling resources is cancelled. In the event that the base station transmits a cancellation indicator for cancelling one or more communications, it can be determined whether the alternative resources are to be used for the associated communication. The determination regarding the use of the alternative resources can be based on the duration of the cancellation, the frequency portion of the cancelled resources, or a combination thereof.

[0068] In some wireless communication systems, periodic communication between devices (e.g., between a base station and a user equipment (UE)) can be used to exchange information over a period of time. For example, a device may report information according to a set schedule, which may require communication according to a set period. In some cases, to help reduce the signaling overhead associated with signaling resource grants separately for each such periodic transmission (e.g., in a separate dynamic grant providing transmission resources), a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration can be provided, which configures periodic resources for such communication. For example, the SPS configuration can provide a configured grant with periodic resources for uplink transmission from the UE to the base station. A single downlink control information (DCI) transmission (e.g., an activation DCI) can be used to enable the configured grant, and the UE will use the configured resources for uplink transmission, which can save significant overhead compared to providing a separate grant for each instance of the periodic transmission (e.g., especially if the uplink transmission contains a relatively small amount of data).

[0069] In some cases, such configured resources can include sufficient resources to provide coverage enhancement, e.g., through multiple repetitions of the uplink communication. In the case where the base station identifies higher-priority data, the base station can cancel the configured grant by sending a cancellation indication (CI) to the UE, which causes the UE to avoid using one or more of the configured resources for communication and allows the resources to be used for higher-priority communication (e.g., ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) with the UE or with a different UE). In some cases, the UE that receives the cancellation may have to wait for another instance of the uplink resources of the configured grant to send communication, which may increase latency. Additionally, canceling one or more repetitions of the uplink communication using coverage enhancement techniques may affect the link budget and reduce the likelihood of successful reception of the uplink communication at the base station. Thus, such cancellation may waste resources, increase latency, or both.

[0070] In some cases, in addition to the resources configured for uplink communication, the UE may also be configured with alternative resources, where, in the case of cancellation, the alternative resources can be used for uplink communication. In the case of CI, the UE can use the alternative resources to send the cancelled communication, and thus, latency can be reduced compared to the case where a separate grant would be provided for the cancelled communication. Thus, the techniques discussed herein can reduce latency, overhead, or both. The alternative resources can be configured as a separate configured grant triggered by CI, can be configured as alternative resources with a specific configured grant to be used in the case of CI, or a combination thereof. In some cases, information in the CI (such as the duration of the cancellation or the frequency resources cancelled (e.g., half or the entire configured bandwidth part (BWP), which may affect the set of resource blocks (RBs) associated with the CI)) can be used to determine whether the UE is to use the alternative resources, which of two or more available alternative resources to use, or a combination thereof. Such alternative resources can be provided prior to the CI, which can allow the use of the alternative resources without the base station providing a separate dynamic grant or a new dynamic grant associated with the CI. Thus, such techniques can efficiently identify alternative resources with relatively low overhead.

[0071] Thus, the techniques discussed herein provide for the configuration of one or more alternative resources that can be used for communication in the case of cancellation of the configured resources for communication. In the case of providing such alternative resources, the CI can trigger the use of the alternative resources without requiring additional signaling associated with the communication. Thus, the base station can dynamically signal the alternative resources for the configured grant at the time of the CI and uplink transmission without increasing the overhead. Such techniques can help reduce latency, enhance reliability, and reduce overhead in a wireless communication system.

[0072] Additionally or alternatively, the UE may be configured with uplink resources via a dynamically scheduled grant (e.g., in DCI) received from a base station on a downlink control channel or data channel resource (e.g., on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) or Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)), and the UE may be configured for Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetition via the dynamically scheduled grant. In the case where a PUSCH repetition associated with the dynamically scheduled grant is discarded (e.g., due to a conflict with a downlink resource, receiving a CI for the dynamically scheduled grant, etc.), the UE may use the configured resources to transmit the PUSCH repetition. In one example, additional information regarding possible retransmission of such discarded PUSCH (e.g., PUSCH with a dynamically scheduled grant) on the configured resources may be conveyed to the UE. The additional information may include various parameters for transmitting the discarded repetition, which the UE may use to transmit the discarded repetition on the configured resources. In this regard, allowing the transmission of otherwise discarded repetitions may improve coverage or reliability that would otherwise be lost due to discarding PUSCH repetitions.

[0073] Aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Then, examples of configured resources and alternative resources, as well as a process flow associated with the use of alternative resources, are discussed. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated by apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts relating to alternative communication resources for a configured grant, and aspects of the present disclosure are described with reference to these diagrams.

[0074] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting alternative communication resources for a configured grant in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure is shown. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an enhanced LTE (LTE-A) network, or an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communication, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communication, low-latency communication, or communication with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0075] Base stations 105 may be distributed throughout a geographical area to form a wireless communication system 100, and may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110, and the UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may establish one or more communication links 125 over the coverage area 110. The coverage area 110 may be an example of such a geographical area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support the transmission of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0076] The UEs 115 may be distributed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are shown in Figure 1 FIG. 5. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, base stations 105, or network devices (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, repeater devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, router devices, or other network devices), as Figure 1 shown.

[0077] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or with each other, or both. For example, the base stations 105 may be connected to the core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interfaces). The base stations 105 may communicate directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105) with each other, or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130) with each other, or both, over the backhaul links 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interfaces). In some examples, the backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links. In some examples, one or more of the base stations 105 may provide a backhaul connection between another base station 105 and the core network 130 via a backhaul link 160 when acting as an IAB node.

[0078] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include or may be referred to by those of ordinary skill in the art as a base station transceiver, radio base station, access point, radio transceiver, Node B, evolved Node B (eNodeB, eNB), next generation Node B, or Gigabit Node B (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), home Node B, home evolved Node B, or other suitable terms.

[0079] The UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or some other suitable term, where the "device" may also be referred to as a unit, station, terminal, or client, among other examples. The UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, the UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, Internet of Things (IoT) device, Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or machine type communication (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various items such as appliances, or vehicles, meters, and other examples.

[0080] The UE 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UE 115s that can sometimes act as repeaters, routers, or CPEs, as well as base station 105 and network devices, including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, IAB nodes, or relay base stations, and other examples, as Figure 1 shown.

[0081] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may communicate wirelessly with each other via one or more communication links 125 on one or more carriers. The term "carrier" may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating the operation of the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communication with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. According to a carrier aggregation configuration, the UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplex (FDD) component carriers and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0082] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include an uplink transmission from the UE 115 to the base station 105, or a downlink transmission from the base station 105 to the UE 115. A carrier may carry downlink or uplink communication (e.g., in FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink and uplink communication (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0083] A carrier can be associated with a specific bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth can be referred to as the "system bandwidth" of the carrier or the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth can be one of multiple determined bandwidths of a carrier of a specific radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). Devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., the base station 105, the UE 115, or both) can have a hardware configuration that supports communication on a specific carrier bandwidth, or can be configured to support communication on one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 can include a base station 105 or a UE 115 that supports simultaneous communication via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 can be configured to operate on a portion (e.g., a subband, a BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0084] The signal waveform transmitted on a carrier can be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using a multi-carrier modulation (MCM) technique such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing an MCM technique, a resource element can include a symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulated symbol) and a subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element can depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Therefore, the more resource elements the UE 115 receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate can be for the UE 115. Wireless communication resources can refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, time resources, and space resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers can further increase the data rate or data integrity for communication with the UE 115.

[0085] It can be represented in multiples of a basic time unit, which can refer to, for example, a sampling period of T s = 1 / (Δf max ·N f ) seconds, where Δf max can represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f can represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size) to represent the time gap for the base station 105 or the UE 115. The time gaps of the communication resources can be organized according to wireless frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each wireless frame can be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0086] Each frame may include a plurality of consecutively numbered sub - frames or time slots, and each sub - frame or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into sub - frames, and each sub - frame may be further divided into a number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the sub - carrier spacing. Each time slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix added in front of each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, a time slot may be further divided into a plurality of mini - slots each containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N f

[0087]

[0088] sub - frames, time slots, mini - slots or symbols may be the smallest scheduling units (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as transmission time intervals (TTIs). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in the form of a burst of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)). Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. For example, time - division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency - division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or one or more of hybrid TDM - FDM techniques may be used to multiplex physical control channels and physical data channels on a downlink carrier. The control region for a physical control channel (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) may be defined by the number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth of the carrier or a subset of the system bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a group of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search a control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates at one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with the encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space set may include a common search space set configured to send control information to a plurality of UEs 115 and a UE - specific search space set for sending control information to a particular UE 115.

[0089] ​In some examples, the base station 105 may be mobile and, thus, provide communication coverage for a mobile geographic coverage area 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network where different types of base stations 105 use the same or different radio access technologies to provide coverage for respective geographic coverage areas 110.

[0090] Some UEs 115 (e.g., MTC or IoT devices) may be low-cost or low-complexity devices and may provide automated communication between machines (e.g., via machine-to-machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with each other or with the base station 105 without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communication from devices with integrated sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application that utilizes the information or presents the information to a person interacting with the application. Some UEs 115 may be designed to collect information or implement automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based business charging.

[0091] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) or mission-critical communication. The UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communication may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more mission-critical services such as mission-critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission-critical video (MCVideo), or mission-critical data (MCData). Support for mission-critical functions may include prioritization of services, and mission-critical services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission-critical, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0092] In some examples, UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communication may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of base station 105 or otherwise unable to receive transmissions from base station 105. In some examples, groups of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system, where each UE 115 transmits to each other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between UEs 115 without involving base station 105.

[0093] In some systems, D2D communication link 135 may be an example of a communication channel (such as a sidelink communication channel) between vehicles (e.g., UE 115). In some examples, vehicles may communicate using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, or some combination of these. Vehicles may signal information related to traffic conditions, signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergencies, or any other information related to the V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system may communicate with roadside infrastructure (such as a roadside unit), or communicate with a network via one or more network nodes (e.g., base station 105) using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication, or perform both operations.

[0094] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets to or interconnects with an external network (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for a UE 115 served by a base station 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be transmitted through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to a network operator IP service 150. The operator IP service 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), or a packet-switched streaming service.

[0095] Some network devices in the network device (e.g., the base station 105) may include subcomponents such as an access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with a UE 115 through one or more other access network transmission entities 145 (which may be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, or a transmit / receive point (TRP)). Each access network transmission entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity 140 or the base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or consolidated into a single network device (e.g., the base station 105).

[0096] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands (sometimes in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz)). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or the decimeter band because the wavelength range is approximately from one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves may be sufficient to penetrate structures to serve a UE 115 located indoors in a macro cell. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission of smaller frequencies and longer waves using the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0097] The wireless communication system 100 may also operate in the super high frequency (SHF) region using a frequency band from 3 GHz to 30 GHz (also referred to as the centimeter band) or in the extremely high frequency (EHF) region of the spectrum (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz) (also referred to as the millimeter band). In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support millimeter wave (mmW) communication between the UE 115 and the base station 105, and the EHF antennas of the corresponding devices may be even smaller and placed closer together compared to UHF antennas. In some examples, this may facilitate the use of antenna arrays within the device. However, compared to SHF or UHF transmissions, the propagation of EHF transmissions may suffer from even greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter distances. The techniques disclosed herein may be employed across transmissions using one or more different frequency regions, and the designation of frequency bands across these frequency regions may vary according to the country or regulatory body.

[0098] The wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may employ licensed-assisted access (LAA), LTE-unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed frequency band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, devices such as the base station 105 and the UE 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation in the unlicensed frequency band may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration that combines a component carrier operating in a licensed frequency band (e.g., LAA). Operation in the unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, peer-to-peer (P2P) transmissions, or device-to-device (D2D) transmissions, among other examples.

[0099] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or the UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operation or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located at different geographical locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array having a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming for communication with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0100] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may use MIMO communication to utilize multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. This technique may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. For example, multiple signals may be transmitted by a transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, multiple signals may be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) (where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device) and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) (where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices).

[0101] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., the base station 105, the UE 115) to form or direct an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals transmitted via the antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating in a particular orientation relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference while other signals experience destructive interference. The adjustment of the signals transmitted via the antenna elements may include the transmitting device or the receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to the signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustment associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting device or the receiving device, or relative to some other orientation).

[0102] As part of the beamforming operation, the base station 105 or the UE 115 may use beam scanning techniques. For example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform beamforming operations for directional communication with the UE 115. The base station 105 may transmit some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) multiple times in different directions. For example, the base station 105 may transmit signals according to different sets of beamforming weights associated with different transmission directions. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used (e.g., by the transmitting device such as the base station 105 or by the receiving device such as the UE 115) to identify the beam direction for subsequent transmissions or receptions performed by the base station 105.

[0103] Base station 105 may send some signals (e.g., data signals associated with that particular receiving device) in a single beam direction (e.g., the direction associated with a receiving device (e.g., UE 115)). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmission along a single beam direction may be determined based on signals sent in one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals sent by base station 105 in different directions and may report to base station 105 an indication of the signal with the highest signal quality or otherwise acceptable signal quality received by UE 115.

[0104] In some examples, multiple beam directions may be used to perform transmissions by a device (e.g., by base station 105 or UE 115), and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from base station 105 to UE 115). UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. Base station 105 may send reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS)) that may or may not be precoded. UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., multi-panel type codebook, linear combination type codebook, port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals sent by base station 105 in one or more directions, UE 115 may employ similar techniques to send signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying beam directions for subsequent transmissions or receptions by UE 115) or to send signals in a single direction (e.g., for sending data to a receiving device).

[0105] In some aspects of the present disclosure, the UE 115 may be configured with one or more SPS configurations for periodic communication with the base station 105. The UE communication manager 101 may receive the SPS configuration and identify the associated set of configured resources for communication with the base station 105. In some cases, the UE communication manager 101 may receive the SPS-configured activation DCI and initiate the SPS configuration to transmit a series of uplink communications using the configured resources. In some cases, the UE communication manager 101 may detect a cancellation indicator (CI) from the base station 105 that cancels one or more of the uplink communications in the uplink communication using the configured resources. Based on the CI, the UE communication manager 101 may identify alternative resources for uplink communication with the base station and may determine whether to use the alternative resources for the uplink communication that would have used the cancelled resources. The UE communication manager 101 may be Figure 9 an example of the communication manager 910.

[0106] One or more of the base stations 105 may include a base station communication manager 102. The base station communication manager 102 may send one or more SPS configurations to the UE 115, which provide an associated set of configured resources for communication with the base station 105. In some cases, the base station communication manager 102 may send the SPS-configured activation DCI and initiate the SPS configuration to receive a series of uplink communications using the configured resources. In some cases, the base station communication manager 102 may determine to cancel one or more of the configured resources in the configured resources (e.g., to use the corresponding resources for higher-priority communication) and send a CI to the UE 115 that cancels one or more of the uplink communications in the uplink communication using the configured resources. Based on the CI, the base station communication manager 102 may identify alternative resources for uplink communication from the UE 115 and may determine whether to monitor the alternative resources for the uplink communication that would have used the cancelled resources. The base station communication manager 102 may be Figure 13 an example of the communication manager 1310.

[0107] Additionally or alternatively, the base station communication manager 102 may provide one or more UEs 115 with information for transmitting a discarded dynamic scheduling data channel repeat using the configured resources with the configured grant. The UE communication manager 101 may receive the information and / or may determine to discard the dynamic scheduling data channel repeat and transmit the repeat of the discarded data channel on the configured resources, and the base station communication manager 102 may receive the data channel repeat on the configured resources, which may improve data channel coverage, throughput, etc., as described above.

[0108] Figure 2 FIG. 200 shows an example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports alternative communication resources for configured grants in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100. Wireless communication system 200 may include base station 105 and UE 115-a, which may be examples of base station 105 and UE 115 as described with reference to Figure 1 FIG. 201. UE 115-a and base station 105-a may communicate using a communication link (e.g., Uu link), where UE 115-a sends uplink communication 205 to base station 105-a, and base station 105-a sends downlink communication 210 to UE 115-a.

[0109] In some cases, base station 105-a may configure UE 115-a with one or more SPS configurations. In some cases, the SPS configuration may provide uplink grant resources 215 that may provide uplink resources (e.g., PUSCH resources) for periodic uplink communication from UE 115-a to base station 105-a according to the SPS configuration. In other cases, UE 115-a may receive a dynamic grant, and uplink grant resources 215 may include multiple repeated resources for uplink communication (e.g., multiple PUSCH repetitions). As discussed herein, in some cases, base station 105-a may determine that there is a higher priority communication (e.g., URLLC transmission), and may preempt or cancel one or more SPS-configured communications. For example, base station 105-a may send a preemption indication or cancellation indication 220, which may indicate that one or more downlink communications will not be sent.

[0110] In Figure 2 the example of FIG. 202, cancellation indication 220 may cancel one uplink communication in the uplink communication using uplink grant resources 215. In response to cancellation indication 220, UE 115-a may identify alternative resources 225, and in some cases, may use alternative resources 225 to transmit the uplink communication that would have been sent using the cancelled uplink grant resources 215. Thus, cancellation indication 220 implicitly notifies UE 115-a to use alternative resources for uplink transmission. Although Figure 2 FIG. 202 shows a single UE 115-a, in some cases, cancellation indication 220 may be sent to a group of UEs 115, and each UE in the group may identify associated alternative resources.

[0111] In some cases, the base station 105-a may provide multiple configured grants, and the cancellation indication 220 may activate another configured grant. For example, the new configured grant (i.e., activated by the cancellation indication 220) may be indicated in the RRC configuration of the search space associated with the group common DCI (GC-DCI) carrying the cancellation indication 220. In some cases, the new configured grant may be selected based on its index (i.e., canceling a configured grant over time may automatically activate the next configured grant based on an ordered list of configured grants). In other cases, the cancellation indication 220 may change one or more parameters of the configured grant (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, beams, or any combination thereof). For example, the base station 105-a may provide a primary set of parameters for the uplink grant resource 215 and a secondary set of parameters (e.g., secondary time resources, frequency resources, beams, or any combination thereof) activated by the cancellation indication 220.

[0112] In some cases, the alternative resource 225 may be used for communication during the validity duration of the alternative configured grant. In some examples, the validity duration may be based on the timing of the cancellation indication 220, the specific time resources being canceled, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may determine whether the cancellation indication 220 activates communication using the alternative resource 225, or whether communication in the canceled resources will be deferred to a later uplink grant resource 215 or discarded. In some cases, the use of the alternative resource 225 for communication may be conditional on the length of the cancellation or the amount of time the cancellation overlaps with the current uplink grant resource 215. In other cases, if the cancellation duration exceeds a time threshold, then only the alternative resource 225 may be used for communication. Additionally or alternatively, the use of the alternative resource 225 for communication may depend on the frequency portion indicated in the cancellation indication 220 (e.g., if the cancellation indication 220 signals that the entire BWP is canceled or half of the BWP is canceled). In such cases, the use of the alternative resource 225 may thus depend on the set of RBs associated with the cancellation indication 220. In some cases, the frequency portion indicated in the cancellation indication 220 may be used to determine which of two or more different alternative resources 255 will be used for communication. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 discussed various examples of canceled resources and alternative resources.

[0113] Additionally or alternatively, in some cases, base station 105-a may configure UE 115-a with uplink resources for transmitting a data channel (e.g., PUSCH), which may include a dynamic grant of resources dynamically scheduled via DCI on a PDCCH or PDSCH, and / or may include a configured grant (CG) of resources indicated via RRC signaling and / or activated (or scheduled) via DCI on a PDCCH or PDSCH. Additionally, the dynamic grant of dynamically scheduled resources may include one or more parameters related to repeating the transmission of the data channel to improve coverage. If the time resources assigned for data channel repetition conflict with one or more downlink symbols (e.g., as indicated by the slot format indicator (SFI) received from base station 105-a in the configuration), or if a cancellation indicator (CI) is received for the dynamic grant, then UE 115-a may determine to discard the data channel repetition and may discard the data channel repetition by avoiding transmitting the data channel repetition on the corresponding time resources. In the case where UE 115-a has a configured grant that allows uplink transmission on some configured resources without a dynamic grant (e.g., without DCI or with DCI as an activation command for already configured resources), UE 115-a may use the resources of the configured grant to transmit the discarded data channel repetition.

[0114] In some cases, one or more parameters may be related to additional information regarding retransmitting a discarded dynamically scheduled data channel repetition (e.g., PUSCH with a dynamic grant) on a configured grant. For example, one or more parameters may include a HARQ process identifier (ID) that identifies the process related to the transmission (e.g., retransmission) of the data channel repetition. One or more parameters may include a repetition number or index of the repetition count. One or more parameters may include whether the transport block size (TBS) of the data channel repetition to be transmitted using the configured grant will follow the TBS of the dynamically scheduled uplink.

[0115] As described above, UE 115-a may receive a dynamic grant (e.g., via DCI) scheduling uplink resources for a data channel (e.g., PUSCH) with dynamic scheduling, where the dynamic grant may also include or otherwise relate to resources for transmitting data channel repetitions to improve coverage. However, in one example, the time resources for transmitting one or more repetitions may correspond to or overlap with symbols configured for downlink communication in the SFI received from base station 105-a. For example, the SFI may be indicated in RRC signaling, and / or the SFI may be updated in DCI or other dynamic signaling to UE 115-a, and the SFI may indicate the communication direction, such as uplink, downlink, flexible, etc., for each symbol in a time slot and / or for each time slot in a plurality of time slots. The dynamic grant scheduling uplink resources for a data channel with dynamic scheduling may indicate parameters for determining when to transmit repetitions, such as the number of repetitions, relative resource offset (e.g., in time), such as the number of symbols or symbol offset for transmitting the repetitions, etc. Thus, the repetition information may indicate resources that overlap with time resources previously indicated (e.g., in the SFI) as reserved for downlink communication for the repetitions. In such a case, UE 115-a may determine the repetitions and / or subsequent repetitions that may be defined by the repetition information in the dynamic grant. In another example, base station 105-a may send a CI to UE 115-a to cancel the resources of the dynamic grant. In either case, UE 115-a may determine to discard the data channel repetitions (and / or one or more subsequent repetitions) to avoid transmitting the scheduled data channel repetitions.

[0116] In some cases, the configuration may indicate the HARQ ID of the discarded scheduled data channel repetitions transmitted on the configured resources, where the configuration may be received in the RRC configuration (or a separate RRC configuration) for the configured grant or in the scheduling DCI for the dynamic grant. In this example, UE 115-a may determine which configured resources correspond to a given HARQ ID of the discarded data channel repetitions based on the indication in the RRC configuration or the scheduling DCI. In one example, in the case where the RRC configuration is used to indicate the HARQ ID, the HARQ offset from the last indicated (e.g., most recently used) HARQ ID may be used, and UE 115-a derives the HARQ ID based on adding the HARQ offset to the last indicated HARQ ID (e.g., indicated in a previous configuration for transmitting data channel repetitions on the configured grant). UE 115-a may accordingly transmit the discarded data channel repetitions on the appropriate configured resources (which may be determined based on the HARQ ID).

[0117] In another example, the DCI for dynamic grant includes a new data indicator (NDI) for indicating whether UE 115-a should send new data (e.g., not a retransmission of a data channel) on the resources of the dynamic grant. In one example, the NDI can be regarded as or interpreted as an implicit indication of whether the same transport block (TB) size or the same number of resource blocks (RBs) should be used to transmit discarded data channel repetitions on the configured grant. For example, UE 115-a can determine a false value of the NDI (e.g., an NDI indicating not to send new data) to implicitly indicate sending data channel repetitions using the same TBS or number of RBs, etc., and can accordingly send data channel repetitions using the same TBS or number of RBs on the configured grant, as indicated in the dynamic grant.

[0118] In another example, the dynamic grant can include a flag for indicating whether the same TB size or the same number of RBs should be used to transmit discarded data channel repetitions on the configured grant or whether the parameters of the configured grant should be used. For example, the RRC configuration for the configured grant can include a TB size or a number of RBs, which can be used when the dynamic grant covers the configured grant occasion. In this example, UE 115-a can obtain the flag from the dynamic grant for data channel repetitions and determine based on the flag whether the TB size or the number of RBs should be the same as the TB size or the number of RBs indicated for the discarded data channel repetitions (e.g., as indicated in the configured grant) or the TB size or the number of RBs indicated in the RRC configuration for the configured grant. UE 115-a can accordingly send data channel repetitions on the configured grant resources based on the determined TB size and / or number of RBs.

[0119] In another example, the grant indicates the relationship (e.g., HARQ relationship) between data channel repetitions. For example, base station 105-a can send a grant including a dynamic grant for a data channel for dynamic scheduling, where the dynamic grant indicates the relationship between the data channel for dynamic scheduling and the discarded data channel repetitions sent on the resources of the configured grant. In another example, base station 105-a can send a grant that includes the RRC configuration for the configured grant, and the configured grant indicates the relationship between the data channel for dynamic scheduling and the discarded data channel repetitions sent on the resources for the configured grant. As described above, UE 115-a can receive a grant indicating the relationship (e.g., HARQ relationship) between data channel repetitions and accordingly send data channel repetitions on the appropriate configured grant resources based on the relationship.

[0120] In some cases, the RRC configuration for configured grants may include repetition parameters (e.g., RepK parameter) for sending data channel repetitions in the configured grants. In this example, the UE 115-a may send data channel repetitions according to or without considering this parameter (e.g., following the dynamic grant number of repetitions or the remaining repetitions since self-discarding the repetitions). In another example, the UE 115-a may send at most the number of repetitions indicated by the repetition parameter in the configured grant (e.g., the remaining repetition number, up to the number indicated in the configured grant).

[0121] Figure 3 An example of configured and alternative resources 300 for configured grants in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure is shown. In some examples, the configured and alternative resources 300 may implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200. In this example, a base station (e.g., Figure 1 or Figure 2 base station 105) may provide one or more configured grants to a UE (e.g., Figure 1 or Figure 2 UE 115).

[0122] As Figure 3As shown, the active DCI 305 can be used to activate a configured grant. The configured grant can have a periodic configured resource 310 that can be used by the UE for uplink transmission to the base station, which includes a first configured resource 310-a, a second configured resource 310-b, a third configured resource 310-c, etc. In this example, a CI 315 is received before the third configured resource 310-c, and the CI 315 cancels one or more associated uplink communications that would have used the third configured resource 310-c and possibly one or more other configured resources, depending on the duration 320 indicated by the CI 315. In this example, an alternative resource 325 can be configured and can be used for the uplink communication that would otherwise have used the third configured resource 310-c (and optionally one or more further configured resources). In this example, although the alternative resource 325 occupies different time and frequency resources than the third configured resource 310-c, in other cases, the same time resources and different frequency resources can be used, or the same frequency resources and different time resources can be used. In some cases, the alternative resource 325 can be pre-configured as an alternative resource, as part of the SPS configuration that provides the configured grant, and can be pre-configured as a separate configured grant activated by the CI 315 (e.g., an ordered list of configured grants can be provided, and an index value for the configured grant to be used can be incremented based on the CI 315 or indicated in the CI 315). In some cases, after the cancellation duration indicated by the CI 315 expires, the initial configured resource can be used again for communication.

[0123] Figure 4 FIG. 400 shows an example of configured and alternative resources for a configured grant in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the configured and alternative resources 400 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200. In this example, a base station (e.g., Figure 1 or Figure 2 base station 105 of Figure 1 or Figure 2 UE 115 of

[0124] As Figure 4As shown, the active DCI 405 can be used to activate a configured grant. The configured grant can have a periodic configured resource 410 that can be used by the UE for uplink transmission to the base station, which includes a first configured resource 410-a, a second configured resource 410-b, a third configured resource 410-c, etc. In this example, the CI 415 is received before the third configured resource 410-c. In this example, the CI 415 indicates a frequency portion of the configured resource 410 that is cancelled, which is the first BWP 430 in this example. Thus, in this example, the RBs that overlap with the first BWP 430 are cancelled, and the RBs within the second BWP 435 are not cancelled.

[0125] In this example, the CI 415 can thus indicate the frequency portion and the cancellation duration of the cancelled resources. In this example, an alternative resource 425 can be configured and can be used for uplink communication that would have used the third configured resource 410-c (and optionally one or more further configured resources). In some cases, the UE and the base station can determine whether to use the alternative resource 425 based on whether an uplink transmission can be sent using the second BWP 435. In some cases, the UE can send one or more RBs in the second BWP 435 and use the alternative resource 425 for the RBs to be sent in the first BWP 430, in which case the frequency resources of the alternative resource 424 may depend on the frequency portion indicated in the CI 415. In some cases, after the cancellation duration indicated in the CI 315 expires, the initially configured resources can be used again for communication.

[0126] Figure 5 An example of a process flow 500 that supports alternative communication resources for a configured grant in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure is shown. In some examples, the process flow 500 can implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200. The process flow 500 can be implemented by the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b as described herein. In the following description of the process flow 500, the communication between the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b can be sent in a different order than the order of the example shown, or the operations performed by the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b can be performed in a different order or at different times. Some operations can also be omitted from the process flow 500, and other operations can be added to the process flow 500.

[0127] In some examples, the operations shown in process flow 500 can be performed by hardware (e.g., including circuitry, processing blocks, logic components, and other components), code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof. Alternative examples can be implemented, where some steps can be performed in a different order than described or not at all. In some cases, steps can include additional features not mentioned below, or additional steps can be added.

[0128] At 505, base station 105-b can determine one or more configured resources and alternative resources for UE 115-b (and optionally one or more other UEs). In some cases, the configured resources and alternative resources can be determined based on the type of communication and the period of the communication (e.g., based on a request from UE 115-b for periodic resources). At 510, base station 105-b can send configured resource grant information to UE 115-b. In some cases, base station 105 can send RRC signaling including an indication of one or more parameter sets associated with a first SPS configuration and one or more alternative parameter sets defining alternative resources. In other cases, base station 105-b can send multiple SPS configurations, each with an associated index value, and the index values can be in an ordered list for selecting alternative resources, as discussed herein for various examples.

[0129] At 515, base station 105-b can send an activation DCI to UE 115-b to activate the SPS configuration and start communicating using the configured resources. At 520, in response to the activation DCI, UE 115-b can send an uplink transmission in the configured resources. Also, at 525, UE 115-b can send another uplink transmission in the configured resources.

[0130] In this example, at 530, base station 105-b can determine to send a CI to UE 115-b. For example, such a determination can be based on base station 105-b receiving an indication of a higher-priority communication to be sent. At 535, base station 105-b can send the CI to UE 115-b. In some cases, the CI can be sent to multiple different UEs 115 in a GC-DCI, and the CI can be used to cancel uplink communications at multiple UEs for a cancellation duration indicated in the CI.

[0131] At 540, UE 115-b may determine alternative resources for uplink transmission to base station 105-b. In some cases, the alternative resources may be determined based on information provided in the CI, such as the frequency portion of the cancelled resources, the cancellation duration, or a combination thereof. In some cases, at 545, UE 115-b may determine to transmit using the alternative resources. As discussed herein, such determination may be based on the cancellation duration, the frequency portion of the cancelled resources, or any combination thereof. At 550, base station 105-b may also make such determination regarding deciding whether to monitor for alternative resources for uplink communication. At 555, in the case of determining to use the alternative resources, UE 115-b may use the alternative resources to transmit an uplink transmission.

[0132] Figure 6 FIG. 600 is a block diagram illustrating a device 605 that supports alternative communication resources for a configured grant, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Device 605 may be an example of aspects of UE 115 as described herein. Device 605 may include a receiver 610, a communication manager 615, and a transmitter 620. Device 605 may also include a processor. Each of these components may communicate with one another (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0133] The receiver 610 may receive information such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to alternative communication resources for a configured grant, etc.). The information may be passed to other components of device 605. The receiver 610 may be an example of aspects of transceiver 920 described in Figure 9 reference. The receiver 610 may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas.

[0134] According to examples disclosed herein, the communication manager 615 may support wireless communication at a UE. For example, the communication manager 615 may be configured to or otherwise support a unit for receiving, from a base station, a cancellation indication indicating that at least a first communication with the base station is cancelled, the first communication using a first resource for communicating with the base station as part of a first configured grant or as part of a dynamically scheduled grant. The communication manager 615 may be configured to or otherwise support a unit for communicating with the base station using one or more alternative resources different from the first resource associated with a second configured grant based on the received cancellation indication.

[0135] In some cases, the communication manager 615 may be configured to or otherwise support a configured unit for transmitting one or more parameters corresponding to a data channel repetition for sending and discarding on a configured grant. The communication manager 615 may be configured to or otherwise support a unit for determining to discard the discarded data channel repetition of the dynamic scheduling. The communication manager 615 may be configured to or otherwise support a unit for transmitting the corresponding data channel repetition based on determining to discard the discarded data channel repetition of the dynamic scheduling, on the resources of the configured grant and based on one or more parameters.

[0136] The communication manager 615 may perform the following operations: identify periodic resources for communicating with a base station as part of a configured grant; receive a cancellation indication from the base station indicating that at least a first communication with the base station using the periodic resources is cancelled; and identify one or more alternative resources different from the identified periodic resources based on the received cancellation indication. The communication manager 615 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 910 described herein.

[0137] The communication manager 615 or its sub-components may be implemented in hardware, code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof. If implemented in code executed by a processor, the functions of the communication manager 615 or its sub-components may be performed by a general-purpose processor, a DSP, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an FPGA, or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described in this disclosure.

[0138] The communication manager 615 or its sub-components may be physically located in different locations, including distributed such that portions of the functions are implemented by one or more physical components at different physical locations. In some examples, according to aspects of this disclosure, the communication manager 615 or its sub-components may be separate and distinct components. In some examples, the communication manager 615 or its sub-components may be combined with one or more other hardware components according to aspects of this disclosure, including but not limited to input / output (I / O) components, transceivers, network servers, another computing device, one or more other components described in this disclosure, or a combination thereof.

[0139] The transmitter 620 may transmit signals generated by other components of the device 605. In some examples, the transmitter 620 may be co-located with the receiver 610 in a transceiver module. For example, the transmitter 620 may be an example of aspects of the transceiver 920 described in Figure 9 reference. The transmitter 620 may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas.

[0140] Figure 7 FIG. 700 is a block diagram of a device 705 supporting alternative communication resources for configured grants in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The device 705 may be an example of the device 605 as described herein, or aspects of the UE 115. The device 705 may include a receiver 710, a communication manager 715, and a transmitter 735. The device 705 may also include a processor. Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0141] The receiver 710 may receive information such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to alternative communication resources for configured grants, etc.). The information may be passed to other components of the device 705. The receiver 710 may be an example of aspects of the transceiver 920 described with reference to Figure 9 FIG. The receiver 710 may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas.

[0142] The communication manager 715 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 615 as described herein. The communication manager 715 may include a periodic resource manager 720, a configured grant manager 725, and an alternative resource manager 730. The communication manager 715 may be an example of aspects of the communication manager 910 described herein.

[0143] In accordance with examples disclosed herein, the communication manager 715 may support wireless communication at a UE. The configured grant manager 725 may be configured to or otherwise support a unit for receiving a cancellation indication from a base station indicating that at least a first communication with the base station is cancelled, the first communication using a first resource for communicating with the base station as part of a first configured grant or as part of a dynamically scheduled grant. The alternative resource manager 730 may be configured to or otherwise support a unit for communicating with the base station using one or more alternative resources different from the first resource associated with a second configured grant based on the received cancellation indication.

[0144] The periodic resource manager 720 may identify periodic resources for communicating with the base station as part of a configured grant.

[0145] The configured grant manager 725 may receive a cancellation indication from the base station indicating that at least a first communication using the periodic resources with the base station is cancelled.

[0146] The alternative resource manager 730 may identify one or more alternative resources different from the identified periodic resources based on the received cancellation indication.

[0148] Figure 8 FIG. 800 is a block diagram showing a communication manager 805 that supports alternative communication resources for configured grants, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Communication manager 805 can be an example of aspects of communication manager 615, communication manager 715, or communication manager 910 described herein. Communication manager 805 can include a periodic resource manager 810, a configured grant manager 815, an alternative resource manager 820, a cancellation timing manager 825, and a cancellation bandwidth manager 830. Each of these modules can communicate with each other directly or indirectly (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0149] In accordance with examples disclosed herein, communication manager 805 can support wireless communication at a UE. Configured grant manager 815 can be configured to or otherwise support a unit for receiving a cancellation indication from a base station indicating that at least a first communication with the base station is cancelled, the first communication using a first resource for communicating with the base station as part of a first configured grant or as part of a dynamically scheduled grant. Alternative resource manager 820 can be configured to or otherwise support a unit for communicating with the base station using one or more alternative resources different from the first resource associated with a second configured grant based on the received cancellation indication.

[0150] In some cases, configured grant manager 815 can be configured to or otherwise support a configured unit for transmitting one or more parameters having a corresponding data channel repetition for transmitting on a configured grant corresponding to a discarded dynamically scheduled data channel repetition. Periodic resource manager 810 can be configured to or otherwise support a unit for determining the discarded dynamically scheduled data channel repetition to be discarded. Alternative resource manager 820 can be configured to or otherwise support a unit for transmitting the corresponding data channel repetition on the resources of the configured grant and based on one or more parameters based on determining the discarded dynamically scheduled data channel repetition to be discarded.

[0151] Periodic resource manager 810 can identify periodic resources for communicating with a base station as part of a configured grant.

[0152] The configured grant manager 815 may receive a cancellation indication from the base station indicating that the first communication with the base station using at least the periodic resources is cancelled. In some examples, the configured grant manager 815 may determine whether to send the first communication via one or more alternative resources based on the received cancellation indication.

[0153] In some examples, the configured grant manager 815 may receive configuration information for the configured grant and one or more alternative resources from the base station, as well as one or more criteria for determining whether to use the one or more alternative resources. In some cases, the configured grant is the first configured grant in a set of configured grants received from the base station, and wherein the one or more alternative resources are associated with a second configured grant in the set of configured grants that is different from the first configured grant. In some cases, the second configured grant is identified based on the RRC configuration of the search space associated with the DCI communication carrying the cancellation indication.

[0154] In some cases, the second configured grant is selected based on an ordered list of the set of configured grants. In some cases, the one or more alternative resources are indicated as one or more alternative resource parameters in the configured grant that provides the periodic resources for the first communication.

[0155] The alternative resource manager 820 may identify one or more alternative resources different from the identified periodic resources based on the received cancellation indication. In some cases, the one or more criteria for determining whether to use the one or more alternative resources include one or more of the following: the timing of the cancellation indication relative to the first communication, the duration associated with the cancellation indication, the set of resource blocks indicated by the cancellation indication, the amount of cancelled resources associated with the cancellation indication, the preconfigured behavior associated with the cancellation indication, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the one or more alternative resource parameters include one or more of the following to be used in response to the cancellation indication: secondary time resources, secondary frequency resources, secondary beams, or any combination thereof.

[0156] The cancellation timing manager 825 may determine the use of the one or more alternative resources for the transmission of the first communication based on the length of the cancellation duration provided together with the cancellation indication. In some examples, the cancellation timing manager 825 may determine the duration for using the alternative resources based on one or more of the following: the timing of the cancellation indication relative to at least the first communication, the length of the cancellation duration, the configured duration, or any combination thereof. In some cases, when the length of the cancellation duration meets or exceeds a time threshold, the one or more alternative resources are used to send the first communication, and wherein when the cancellation duration is less than the time threshold, the UE cancels the first communication.

[0157] The cancellation bandwidth manager 830 may determine one or more BWPs to be cancelled. In some cases, the alternative resources are determined based on the frequency part identifier provided in the cancellation indication. In some cases, the frequency part identifier indicates whether to cancel the frequency resources that span all or part of the BWP.
