Description

[Technical field]

[0001] (CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 363,938, filed April 29, 2022, entitled "STATE CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH A CONFIGURED GRANT TRANSMISSION OF A PLURALITY OF TRANSPORT BLOCKS," and U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 18 / 163,661, filed February 2, 2023, entitled "STATE CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH A CONFIGURED GRANT TRANSMISSION OF A PLURALITY OF TRANSPORT BLOCKS," which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications and to techniques and apparatus for state changes associated with configured grant transmission of multiple transport blocks. [Background technology]

[0003] Wireless communication systems have been widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcast. A typical wireless communication system may employ multiple access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of extensions to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP®).

[0004] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes supporting communication for wireless communication devices, such as a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a network node via downlink and uplink communications. "Downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from a network node to a UE, and "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from a UE to a network node. Some wireless networks may support device-to-device communications over a local link (e.g., a sidelink (SL), a wireless local area network (WLAN) link, and / or a wireless personal area network (WPAN) link, among other examples), etc.

[0005] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that allows different UEs to communicate on a city, national, regional, and / or global scale. New Radio (NR), sometimes referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, utilizing new spectrum, and by using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink and CP-OFDM and / or single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, and by better integrating with other open standards that support beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the present disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0020] Aspects and examples generally include methods, apparatus, network nodes, systems, computer program products, non-transitory computer-readable media, user equipment, base stations, wireless communications devices, and / or processing systems substantially as described herein with reference to and as illustrated by the drawings and specification.

[0021] The present disclosure may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures which carry out the same purposes of the present disclosure. Such equivalent structures do not depart from the scope of the appended claims. The nature of the concepts disclosed herein, both their organization and methods of operation, together with associated advantages, will be better understood from the following description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying figures. Each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description, and not as a definition of the limits of the claims.

[0022] Although aspects are described in this disclosure by illustrating some examples, such aspects can be implemented in many different configurations and scenarios. The techniques described herein can be implemented using different platform types, devices, systems, shapes, sizes, and / or packaging configurations. For example, some aspects can be implemented via integrated chip embodiments or other non-modular component-based devices (e.g., end-user devices, vehicles, communication devices, computing devices, industrial equipment, retail / purchasing devices, medical devices, and / or artificial intelligence-enabled devices). Aspects can be implemented in chip-level components, modular components, non-modular components, non-chip-level components, device-level components, and / or system-level components.

Aspects described herein may be practiced in a wide variety of devices, components, systems, distributed configurations, and / or end-user devices of various sizes, shapes, and configurations.

[0023] Several aspects of a telecommunications system are now presented with reference to various devices and techniques, which are described in the detailed description that follows and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0024] Although aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the disclosure may be applicable to other RATs, such as 3G RATs, 4G RATs, and / or 5G and beyond RATs (e.g., 6G).

[0025] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a wireless network 100 in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as network node 110a, network node 110b, network node 110c, and network node 110d), user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other entities. The network nodes 110 are network nodes that communicate with the UEs 120. As illustrated, the network nodes 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, the network node 110 may be an aggregated network node, meaning that the aggregated network node is configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., within a single device or unit). As another example, the network node 110 may be a disaggregated network node (sometimes referred to as a disaggregated base station), meaning that the network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more nodes (e.g., one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs)).

[0026] In some embodiments, the network node 110 is or includes a network node, such as a RU, that communicates with the UE 120 over a radio access link. In some embodiments, the network node 110 is or includes a network node, such as a DU, that communicates with other network nodes 110 over a fronthaul link or a midhaul link. In some embodiments, the network node 110 is or includes a network node, such as a CU, that communicates with other network nodes 110 over a midhaul link or with a core network over a backhaul link. In some embodiments, the network node 110 (such as an aggregated network node 110 or a disaggregated network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and / or one or more DUs. The network nodes 110 may include, for example, NR base stations, LTE base stations, Node Bs, eNBs (e.g., in 4G), gNBs (e.g., in 5G), access points, transmission reception points (TRPs), DUs, RUs, CUs, network mobility elements, core network nodes, network elements, network equipment, RAN nodes, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the network nodes 110 may be interconnected to each other or to one or more other network nodes 110 in the wireless network 100 through various types of fronthaul, midhaul and / or backhaul interfaces, such as direct physical connections, air interfaces, or virtual networks, using any suitable transport network.

[0027] In some embodiments, the network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" may refer to a coverage area of ​​the network node 110 and / or a network node subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. The network node 110 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., a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., the home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 with associations with the femto cell (e.g., UEs 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A network node 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro network node. A network node 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico network node. A network node 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto network node or an in-home network node. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, network node 110a may be a macro network node for macro cell 102a, network node 110b may be a pico network node for pico cell 102b, and network node 110c may be a femto network node for femto cell 102c. A network node may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. In some embodiments, a cell is not necessarily stationary and a geographic area of ​​a cell may move according to the location of a network node 110 that is mobile (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0028] In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to an aggregated base station, a non-aggregated base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, a "base station" or a "network node" may refer to a CU, a DU, a RU, a Near-Real Time (Near-RT) RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), or a Non-Real Time (Non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one device configured to perform one or more functions, such as those described herein with respect to the network node 110. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to multiple devices configured to perform one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, multiple different devices (which may be located at the same geographic location or different geographic locations) may each be configured to perform at least a portion of the functions or to replicate the performance of at least a portion of the functions, and the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to any one or more of those different devices. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one or more virtual base stations or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one of the base station functions and not another base station function. In this way, a single device may include two or more base stations.

[0029] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream node (e.g., the network node 110 or the UE 120) and forward the transmission of data to a downstream node (e.g., the UE 120 or the network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay a transmission for another UE 120. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a network node 110d (e.g., a relay network node) may communicate with the network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and the UE 120d to facilitate communication between the network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and the UE 120d. A network node 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay network node, a relay node, a relay, etc.

[0030] In some aspects, wireless network 100 may include one or more non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments in which non-terrestrial wireless communications devices may include UEs (interchangeably referred to herein as "non-terrestrial UEs"), BSs (interchangeably referred to herein as "non-terrestrial BSs" and "non-terrestrial base stations"), relay stations (interchangeably referred to herein as "non-terrestrial relay stations"), etc. As used herein, "NTN" may refer to a network to which access is facilitated by non-terrestrial UEs, non-terrestrial BSs, non-terrestrial relay stations, etc.

[0031] The wireless network 100 may include any number of non-terrestrial wireless communication devices. The non-terrestrial wireless communication devices (e.g., non-terrestrial network nodes) may include satellites, manned aircraft systems, unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platforms, and the like. The satellites may include low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites, medium-earth orbit (MEO) satellites, geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites, high elliptical orbit (HEO) satellites, and the like. The manned aircraft systems may include airplanes, helicopters, and / or airships, and the like. The UAS platforms may include high-altitude platform stations (HAPS), and may include balloons, airships, airplanes, and the like. The non-terrestrial wireless communication devices may be part of an NTN that is separate from the wireless network 100. Alternatively, the NTN may be part of the wireless network 100. The satellites may use satellite communications to directly and / or indirectly communicate with other entities in wireless network 100. The other entities may include UEs (e.g., terrestrial UEs and / or non-terrestrial UEs), other satellites in one or more NTN deployments, other types of BSs (e.g., fixed BSs and / or ground-based BSs), relay stations, one or more components and / or devices included in a core network of wireless network 100, etc.

[0032] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including different types of network nodes 110, such as macro network nodes, pico network nodes, femto network nodes, relay network nodes, etc. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different susceptibility to interference in the wireless network 100. For example, the macro network nodes may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5-40 Watts), while the pico network nodes, femto network nodes, and relay network nodes may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1-2 Watts).

[0033] The network controller 130 may couple to or communicate with a set of network nodes 110 and may provide coordination and control for these network nodes 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network nodes 110 via backhaul or midhaul communication links. The network nodes 110 may communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wireline backhaul communication links. In some aspects, the network controller 130 may be or may include a CU or core network device.

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

[0035] Some UEs 120 may be considered as machine-type communication (MTC) UEs or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, a robot, a drone, a remote device, a sensor, a meter, a monitor, and / or a location tag that may communicate with a network node, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered as Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered as customer premises equipment. The UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses components of the UE 120, such as a processor component and / or a memory component. In some embodiments, the processor component and the memory component may be coupled together. For example, a processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and a memory component (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0036] Generally, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. The RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, etc. The frequencies may be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, etc. To avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs, each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area. In some cases, NR networks or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0037] In some embodiments, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly (e.g., without using network node 110 as an intermediary to communicate with each other) using one or more sidelink channels. For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (which may include, e.g., vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In such embodiments, the UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the network node 110.

[0038] The devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using an electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided by frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, etc. For example, the devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz to 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a "sub-6 GHz" band in various documents and papers, although a portion of FR1 is higher than 6 GHz. A similar nomenclature issue may arise with respect to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a "millimeter wave" band in documents and papers, even though it is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz to 300 GHz) defined as a "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

[0039] Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as intermediate band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have defined the operating bands for these intermediate band frequencies as a frequency range designated FR3 (7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz). The frequency bands included within FR3 may inherit FR1 and / or FR2 characteristics, and thus may in effect extend the features of FR1 and / or FR2 to the intermediate band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been defined as frequency ranges designated FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz to 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz to 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands is included within the EHF band.

[0040] With the above examples in mind, it should be understood that terms such as "sub-6 GHz," as used herein, unless otherwise specified, may broadly refer to frequencies that may be below 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Additionally, it should be understood that terms such as "millimeter wave," as used herein, unless otherwise specified, may broadly refer to frequencies that may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and / or FR5, may include mid-band frequencies, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that frequencies included within these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0041] As described herein, a network node, sometimes referred to as a “node” or a “wireless node”, may be a base station (e.g., base station 110), a UE (e.g., UE 120), a relay device, a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components of any of these, and / or another processing entity configured to perform one or more aspects of the techniques described herein. For example, a network node may be a UE. As another example, a network node may be a base station. A network node may be one or more components of an aggregated base station and / or a non-aggregated base station. As an example, a first network node may be configured to communicate with a second network node or a third network node. The adjectives “first”, “second”, “third”, etc. are used to contextually distinguish two or more of the modified nouns in the context of a discussion and are not meant to be absolute modifiers that apply only to the particular respective node throughout a document. For example, a network node may be referred to as a “first network node” in the context of one discussion and as a “second network node” in the context of another discussion, and vice versa. References to a UE, a base station, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, etc. may include disclosure of the UE, base station, apparatus, device, computing system, etc. that are network nodes. For example, a disclosure that a UE is configured to receive information from a base station also discloses that a first network node is configured to receive information from a second network node. Consistent with this disclosure, when a specific example is expanded in accordance with this disclosure (e.g., also disclosing that a UE is configured to receive information from a base station and that a first network node is configured to receive information from a second network node), the broader example of the narrower example may be interpreted in a converse, but broad, open-ended manner.In the above example where the UE is configured to receive information from a base station, it is also disclosed that the first network node is configured to receive information from a second network node, and a "first network node" may refer to a first UE, a first base station, a first apparatus, a first device, a first computing system, a first component or components, a first processing entity, etc. configured to receive information from a second network, and a "second network node" may refer to a second UE, a second base station, a second apparatus, a second device, a second computing system, a second component or components, a second processing entity, etc.

[0042] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include a communications manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 140 may receive a configuration corresponding to a configured grant (CG), where the CG is associated with a CG transmission including a plurality of transport blocks (TBs). Additionally, the communications manager 140 may receive a downlink control information (DCI) transmission including at least one state change indication corresponding to at least one state change associated with the CG transmission. Additionally or alternatively, the communications manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0043] In some aspects, the network node 110 may include a communications manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 150 may transmit a configuration corresponding to a CG, the CG being associated with a CG transmission including a plurality of TBs. Additionally, the communications manager 150 may transmit a DCI transmission including at least one state change indication corresponding to at least one state change associated with the CG transmission. Additionally or alternatively, the communications manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0044] As noted above, Figure 1 is provided as an example, other implementations may differ from those described with respect to Figure 1.

[0045] FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment 200 of a network node 110 in communication with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 in accordance with the present disclosure. The network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a-t, such as T antennas (T≧1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a-r, such as R antennas (R≧1). The network node 110 of the embodiment 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as an antenna 234 and a modem 232. In some embodiments, the network node 110 may include an interface, a communication component, or another component that facilitates communication with the UE 120 or another network node. Some network nodes 110 may not include a radio frequency component that facilitates direct communication with the UE 120, such as one or more CUs or one or more DUs.

[0046] At the network node 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data destined for a UE 120 (or set of UEs 120) from a data source 212. The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE 120. The network node 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS(es) selected for the UE 120 and provide data symbols to the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., related to semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or higher layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may generate reference symbols for a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and a synchronization signal (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​the data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems), which are illustrated as modems 232a through 232t.For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component of modem 232 (depicted as MOD). Each modem 232 may process (e.g., for OFDM) its respective output symbol stream using a respective modulator component to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or upconvert) the output sample stream using a respective modulator component to obtain a downlink signal. Modems 232a through 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas), denoted as antennas 234a through 234t.

[0047] In some aspects, the term "base station" (e.g., base station 110), "network node", or "network entity" may refer to an aggregated base station, a non-aggregated base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, and / or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, a "base station", "network node", or "network entity" may refer to a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a radio unit (RU), a near-real time (Near-RT) RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), or a non-real time (Non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term "base station", "network node", or "network entity" may refer to one device configured to perform one or more functions, such as the functions described herein with respect to base station 110. In some aspects, the term "base station", "network node", or "network entity" may refer to multiple devices configured to perform one or more functions.

[0048] For example, in some distributed systems, each of several different devices (which may be located at the same geographic location or different geographic locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of the functions or to replicate the performance of at least a portion of the functions, and the term "base station," "network node," or "network entity" may refer to any one or more of those different devices. In some aspects, the term "base station," "network node," or "network entity" may refer to one or more virtual base stations and / or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term "base station," "network node," or "network entity" may refer to one of the base station functions and not another base station function. At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (depicted as antennas 252a through 252r) may receive downlink signals from the network node 110 and / or other network nodes 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems) depicted as modems 254a through 254r. For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component of the modems 254 (depicted as DEMOD). Each modem 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal using a respective demodulator component to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) using the demodulator component to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modems 254, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols, if applicable, and provide the detected symbols.The receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control and system information to a controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or a CQI parameter, among other examples. In some embodiments, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included within a housing 284.

[0049] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network node 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0050] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a-t and / or antennas 252a-r) may include or be contained within one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, antenna group, set of antenna elements, and / or antenna array may include (in a single housing or multiple housings) one or more antenna elements, a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components, such as one or more components of FIG.

[0051] On the uplink, in the UE 120, the transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from the data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI) from the controller / processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by the TX MIMO processor 266, if applicable, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the network node 110. In some embodiments, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some embodiments, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 252, the modem(s) 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, and / or the TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to implement aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to FIGS. 5-9).

[0052] In the network node 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component of the modem 232, denoted as DEMOD), detected by a MIMO detector 236, if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to a controller / processor 240. The network node 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network node 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink communications. In some embodiments, the modem 232 of the network node 110 may include a modulator and demodulator. In some embodiments, the network node 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s) 234, modem(s) 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to implement aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to FIGS. 5-9).

[0053] The controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform one or more techniques related to state changes associated with configured grant transmission of multiple transport blocks, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform or direct the operation of, for example, process 600 of FIG. 6, process 700 of FIG. 7, and / or other processes as described herein. The memory 242 and the memory 282 may store data and program codes for the network node 110 and the UE 120, respectively. In some embodiments, the memory 242 and / or the memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly or after compiling, translating, and / or interpreting) by one or more processors of the network node 110 and / or the UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and / or the network node 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, process 600 of FIG. 6, process 700 of FIG. 7, and / or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing the instructions may include running the instructions, translating the instructions, compiling the instructions, and / or interpreting the instructions, among other examples.

[0054] In some aspects, the UE includes means for receiving a configuration corresponding to a CG, where the CG is associated with a CG transmission including multiple TBs, and / or means for receiving a DCI transmission including at least one state change indication corresponding to at least one state change associated with the CG transmission. The means for causing the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the communications manager 140, the antenna 252, the modem 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, the TX MIMO processor 266, the controller / processor 280, or the memory 282.

[0055] In some aspects, the network node includes means for transmitting a configuration corresponding to a CG, where the CG is associated with a CG transmission including multiple TBs, and / or means for transmitting a DCI transmission including at least one state change indication corresponding to at least one state change associated with the CG transmission. Means for causing the network node to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the communications manager 150, the transmit processor 220, the TX MIMO processor 230, the modem 232, the antennas 234, the MIMO detector 236, the receive processor 238, the controller / processor 240, the memory 242, or the scheduler 246.

[0056] 2 are shown as separate components, the functionality described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component, or in various combinations of components. For example, functionality described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0057] As noted above, Figure 2 is provided as an example. Other implementations may differ from those described with respect to Figure 2.

[0058] A deployment of a communication system such as a 5G NR system may be configured in multiple ways with various components or components. In a 5G NR system or network, a network node, a network entity, a mobility element of a network, a RAN node, a core network node, a network element, a base station, or a network equipment may be implemented in an aggregated or non-aggregated architecture. For example, a base station (e.g., a Node B (NB), evolved NB (eNB), NR base station, 5G NB, access point (AP), TRP, or cell, among other examples), or one or more units (or one or more components) performing base station functionality may be implemented as an aggregated base station (also known as a standalone base station or a monolithic base station) or a non-aggregated base station. A "network entity" or a "network node" may refer to a non-aggregated base station or one or more units of a non-aggregated base station (e.g., one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs, or a combination thereof).

[0059] An aggregated base station (e.g., an aggregated network node) may be configured to utilize a physically or logically integrated radio protocol stack within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or unit). A non-aggregated base station (e.g., a non-aggregated network node) may be configured to utilize a physically or logically distributed protocol stack between two or more units (e.g., one or more CUs, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some examples, a CU may be implemented within a network node, and one or more DUs may be collocated with the CU, or alternatively may be geographically or virtually distributed across one or more other network nodes. A DU may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU, and RU may also be implemented as a virtual unit, such as a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU), among other examples.

[0060] The operation or network design of base station types may take into account the aggregated nature of the base station functionality. For example, non-aggregated base stations may be utilized in an IAB network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (e.g., a network configuration supported by the O-RAN alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also known as a cloud radio access network, C-RAN) to facilitate scaling of the communication system by separating the base station functionality into one or more units that can be deployed separately. A non-aggregated base station may include functionality implemented across two or more units at different physical locations as well as functionality implemented virtually for at least one unit, which may allow flexibility in network design. Various units of a non-aggregated base station may be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the non-aggregated base station.

[0061] 3 illustrates an example disaggregated base station architecture 300 according to the present disclosure. The disaggregated base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310 that may communicate directly with a core network 320 via a backhaul link or indirectly with the core network 320 via one or more disaggregated control units (e.g., a quasi-RT RIC 325 via an E2 link, or a non-RT RIC 315 associated with a service management and orchestration (SMO) framework 305, or both). The CU 310 may communicate with one or more DUs 330 via respective midhaul links, e.g., through an F1 interface. Each of the DUs 330 may communicate with one or more RUs 340 via respective fronthaul links. Each of the RUs 340 may communicate with one or more UEs 120 via respective radio frequency (RF) access links. In some implementations, a UE 120 may be served by multiple RUs 340 simultaneously.

[0062] Each of the units, including the CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, and the quasi-RT RIC 325, non-RT RIC 315, and SMO framework 305, may include or be coupled to one or more interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals, data, or information (collectively, signals) over a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each of the units, or an associated processor or controller that provides instructions to the respective unit's one or more communication interfaces, may be configured to communicate with one or more of the other units over a transmission medium. In some examples, each of the units may include a wired interface configured to receive or transmit signals to or from one or more of the other units over a wired transmission medium, and a wireless interface, which may include a receiver, transmitter, or transceiver (e.g., an RF transceiver), configured to receive, transmit, or transmit signals to or from one or more of the other units over a wireless transmission medium.

[0063] In some aspects, the CU 310 may host one or more higher layer control functions. Such control functions may include a radio resource control (RRC) function, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) function, or a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) function, among other examples. Each control function may be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other control functions hosted by the CU 310. The CU 310 may be configured to handle user plane functionality (e.g., Central Unit - User Plane (CU-UP) functionality), control plane functionality (e.g., Central Unit - Control Plane (CU-CP) functionality), or a combination thereof. In some implementations, the CU 310 may be logically divided into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. The CU-UP unit may communicate bidirectionally with the CU-CP unit via an interface, such as an E1 interface, when implemented in an O-RAN configuration. The CU 310 may be implemented to communicate with the DU 330, as necessary, for network control and signaling.

[0064] Each DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit including one or more base station functions for controlling the operation of one or more RUs 340. In some aspects, the DU 330 may host one or more of a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and one or more upper physical (PHY) layers, at least in part according to a functional division such as that defined by 3GPP. In some aspects, the one or more upper PHY layers may be implemented by one or more modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and modulation and demodulation, among other examples. In some aspects, the DU 330 may further host one or more lower PHY layers, such as implemented by one or more modules for fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, or physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, among other examples. Each layer (which may also be referred to as a module) may be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 330 or with control functions hosted by the CU 310.

[0065] Each RU 340 may implement lower layer functionality. In some deployments, the RU 340 controlled by the DU 330 may correspond to a logical node hosting RF processing functions or lower PHY layer functions, such as performing FFT, performing iFFT, digital beamforming, or PRACH extraction and filtering, among other examples, based on a functional partition such as a lower layer functional partition (e.g., functional partition defined by 3GPP). In such an architecture, each RU 340 may be operated to handle over the air (OTA) communications with one or more UEs 120. In some implementations, real-time and non-real-time aspects of control plane and user plane communications with the RU(s) 340 may be controlled by the corresponding DU 330. In some scenarios, this configuration may enable each DU 330 and CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture.

[0066] The SMO framework 305 may be configured to support RAN deployment and provisioning of non-virtualized and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 may be configured to support deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which may be managed via an operation and maintenance interface (such as an O1 interface). For virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 may be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (e.g., an open cloud (O-Cloud) platform 390) to perform network element lifecycle management (e.g., instantiate virtualized network elements) via a cloud computing platform interface (e.g., an O2 interface). Such virtualized network elements may include, but are not limited to, the CU 310, the DU 330, the RU 340, the non-RT RIC 315, and the quasi-RT RIC 325. In some implementations, the SMO framework 305 may communicate with hardware aspects of a 4G RAN, such as the open eNB (O-eNB) 311, via an O1 interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO framework 305 can communicate directly with each of the one or more RUs 340 via a separate O1 interface. The SMO framework 305 may also include a non-RT RIC 315 configured to support the functionality of the SMO framework 305.

[0067] The non-RT RIC 315 may be configured to include logic functions that enable non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI / ML) workflows including model training and updates, or policy-based guidance of applications / features in the quasi-RT RIC 325. The non-RT RIC 315 may be coupled to or in communication with the quasi-RT RIC 325 (e.g., via an A1 interface). The quasi-RT RIC 325 may be configured to include logic functions that enable near real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources by data collection and action over interfaces (e.g., via an E2 interface) that connect one or more CUs 310, one or more DUs 330, or both, and the O-eNB to the quasi-RT RIC 325.

[0068] In some implementations, the non-RT RIC 315 may receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server to generate AI / ML models to be deployed to the quasi-RT RIC 325. Such information may be utilized by the quasi-RT RIC 325 or may be received from non-network data sources or from network functions in the SMO framework 305 or the non-RT RIC 315. In some embodiments, the non-RT RIC 315 or the quasi-RT RIC 325 may be configured to adjust RAN behavior or performance. For example, the non-RT RIC 315 may monitor long-term trends and patterns regarding performance and use the AI / ML models to implement corrective actions through the SMO framework 305 (e.g., reconfiguration via the O1 interface) or through the creation of RAN management policies (e.g., A1 interface policies).

[0069] As noted above, Figure 3 is provided as an example, other implementations may differ from those described with respect to Figure 3.

[0070] 4 illustrates an example downlink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) communication 400 and an example uplink CG communication 410 according to the present disclosure. SPS communication may include periodic downlink communication configured for the UE such that the network node does not need to send a separate DCI to schedule each downlink communication, thereby saving signaling overhead. CG communication may include periodic uplink communication configured for the UE such that the network node does not need to send a separate DCI to schedule each uplink communication, thereby saving signaling overhead.

[0071] As shown in example 400, a UE may be configured with an SPS configuration for SPS communication. For example, the UE may receive the SPS configuration via an RRC message transmitted by a network node. The SPS configuration may indicate a resource allocation associated with the SPS downlink communication (e.g., in the time domain, frequency domain, space domain, and / or code domain) and a periodicity at which the resource allocation is repeated, such that a scheduled SPS occasion 405 for the UE reoccurs periodically. The SPS configuration may also configure a HARQ-ACK feedback resource for the UE to transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) (HARQ-ACK) feedback for an SPS physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communication received in the SPS occasion 405. For example, the SPS configuration may indicate a PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing value, sometimes referred to as a K1 value in wireless communication standards (e.g., 3GPP standards).

[0072] A network node may send an SPS activation DCI to a UE to activate an SPS configuration for the UE. The network node may indicate communication parameters, such as MCS, resource block (RB) allocation, and / or antenna ports, for SPS PDSCH communication to be transmitted in a scheduled SPS occasion 405 in the SPS activation DCI. The UE may start monitoring the SPS occasion 405 based at least in part on receiving the SPS activation DCI. For example, starting from the next scheduled SPS occasion 405 after receiving the SPS activation DCI, the UE may monitor the scheduled SPS occasion 405 to decode the PDSCH communication using the communication parameters indicated in the SPS activation DCI. The UE may refrain from monitoring the configured SPS occasion 405 before receiving the SPS activation DCI.

[0073] The network node may send an SPS reactivation DCI to the UE to modify communication parameters for SPS PDSCH communication. Based at least in part on receiving the SPS reactivation DCI, the UE may begin monitoring scheduled SPS occasions 405 using the communication parameters indicated in the SPS reactivation DCI. For example, starting with the next scheduled SPS occasion 405 after receiving the SPS reactivation DCI, the UE may monitor the scheduled SPS occasion 405 to decode PDSCH communication based on the communication parameters indicated in the SPS reactivation DCI.

[0074] In some cases, such as when the network node has no downlink traffic to transmit to the UE, the network node may send an SPS cancellation DCI to the UE to temporarily cancel or deactivate one or more subsequent SPS occasions 405 for the UE. The SPS cancellation DCI may deactivate only one subsequent SPS occasion 405 or only N subsequent SPS occasions 405, where N is an integer. The SPS occasions 405 after the one or more (e.g., N) SPS occasions 405 following the SPS cancellation DCI may remain activated. Based at least in part on receiving the SPS cancellation DCI, the UE may refrain from monitoring one or more (e.g., N) SPS occasions 405 after receiving the SPS cancellation DCI. As shown in the example 400, the SPS cancellation DCI cancels one subsequent SPS occasion 405 for the UE. After the SPS occasion 405 (or N SPS occasions) after receiving the SPS cancel DCI, the UE may automatically resume monitoring the scheduled SPS occasions 405.

[0075] The network node may send an SPS release DCI to the UE to deactivate an SPS configuration for the UE. The UE may stop monitoring scheduled SPS occasions 405 based at least in part on receiving the SPS release DCI. For example, the UE may refrain from monitoring scheduled SPS occasions 405 until another SPS activation DCI is received from the network node. While an SPS cancel DCI may deactivate only one subsequent SPS occasion 405 or N subsequent SPS occasions 405, an SPS release DCI deactivates all subsequent SPS occasions 405 for a given SPS configuration for the UE until the given SPS configuration is reactivated by a new SPS activation DCI.

[0076] As shown in example 410, a UE may be configured with a CG configuration for CG communication. For example, the UE may receive the CG configuration via an RRC message transmitted by a network node. The CG configuration may indicate a resource allocation associated with the CG uplink communication (e.g., in the time domain, frequency domain, space domain, and / or code domain) and a periodicity at which the resource allocation is repeated, such that the scheduled CG occasion 415 for the UE reoccurs periodically. In some examples, the CG configuration may identify one or more resource pools that are available to the UE for uplink transmission. The CG configuration may configure contention-free CG communication (e.g., resources are dedicated for the UE to transmit uplink communication) or contention-based CG communication (e.g., the UE contends for access to a channel in the configured resource allocation, such as by using a channel access procedure or a channel sensing procedure).

[0077] A network node may transmit a CG activation DCI to a UE to activate a CG configuration for the UE. The network node may indicate, in the CG activation DCI, communication parameters, such as MCS, RB allocation, and / or antenna ports, for a CG physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communication to be transmitted in a scheduled CG occasion 415. The UE may start transmitting in a CG occasion 415 based at least in part on receiving the CG activation DCI. For example, starting from the next scheduled CG occasion 415 after receiving the CG activation DCI, the UE may transmit a PUSCH communication in the scheduled CG occasion 415 using the communication parameters indicated in the CG activation DCI. The UE may refrain from transmitting in a configured CG occasion 415 prior to receiving the CG activation DCI.

[0078] The network node may send a CG reactivation DCI to the UE to modify communication parameters for the CG PUSCH communication. Based at least in part on receiving the CG reactivation DCI, the UE may begin transmitting at scheduled CG occasions 415 using the communication parameters indicated in the CG reactivation DCI. For example, starting at the next scheduled CG occasion 415 after receiving the CG reactivation DCI, the UE may transmit a PUSCH communication at the scheduled CG occasion 415 based at least in part on the communication parameters indicated in the CG reactivation DCI.

[0079] In some cases, such as when a network node needs to override a scheduled CG communication for a higher priority communication, the network node may send a CG cancellation DCI to the UE to temporarily cancel or deactivate one or more subsequent CG occasions 415 for the UE. The CG cancellation DCI may deactivate only one subsequent CG occasion 415 or the following N CG occasions 415, where N is an integer. The CG occasions 415 after the one or more (e.g., N) CG occasions 415 following the CG cancellation DCI may remain activated. Based at least in part on receiving the CG cancellation DCI, the UE may refrain from transmitting in one or more (e.g., N) CG occasions 415 after receiving the CG cancellation DCI. As shown in example 410, the CG cancellation DCI cancels one subsequent CG occasion 415 for the UE. After the CG occasion 415 (or N CG occasions) after receiving the CG cancellation DCI, the UE may automatically resume transmission at the scheduled CG occasion 415.

[0080] The network node may send a CG release DCI to the UE to deactivate a CG configuration for the UE. The UE may stop transmitting at a scheduled CG occasion 415 based at least in part on receiving the CG release DCI. For example, the UE may refrain from transmitting at a scheduled CG occasion 415 until another CG activation DCI is received from the network node. While a CG cancellation DCI may deactivate only one subsequent CG occasion 415 or N subsequent CG occasions 415, a CG release DCI deactivates all subsequent CG occasions 415 for a given CG configuration for the UE until the given CG configuration is reactivated by a new CG activation DCI.

[0081] In some cases, it may be beneficial for the UE and / or network node to transmit more than one TB (e.g., two TBs) on the PUSCH or PDSCH, respectively. For example, by transmitting two TBs, uplink MIMO may be able to support five or more layers for PUSCH communication. In addition, the dynamic grant PDSCH may support two TBs, while the downlink SPS may typically support only one TB per SPS.

[0082] For downlink SPS and / or uplink CG, the same DCI format (e.g., DCI formats 0_1 / 0_2 and 1_1 / 1_2) may be used to facilitate activation, release, and / or retransmission. For example, the same DCI format may activate groups and / or sequences of PUSCH and / or PDSCH transmissions and provide scheduling information such as MCS, time domain resource allocation (e.g., OFDM symbols), frequency domain resource allocation (e.g., RBs), and / or spatial domain resource allocation (e.g., precoder, number of layers, DMRS ports). The DCI format may also indicate uplink and / or downlink grants for releasing CG or SPS configurations and / or retransmission of failed uplink CG and / or SPS transmissions.

[0083] In order for the UE to determine for what purpose the DCI is scheduled, the UE may verify the DCI. For example, a valid DCI transmission may include a new data indicator (NDI) with a specified value (e.g., NDI=0), a redundancy version (RV) with a specified value or any value, and / or a HARQ identifier (ID) with a specified value (or any value). For example, activation may be verified with NDI=0, RV=all 0s, HARQ ID=all 0s (if only one SPS / ULCG is configured on the associated downlink / uplink serving cell), release may be verified with NDI=0, RV=all 0s, HARQ ID=all 0s (if only one SPS / ULCG is configured on the associated downlink / uplink serving cell), MCS=all 1s, frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA)=all 0s or all 1s, and retransmission may be verified when NDI=1. The HARQ ID may be used to indicate the PDSCH / PUSCH communication that needs to be retransmitted. In some cases, if verification is not achieved, the UE may discard all information in the DCI format. Generally, DCI formats do not support activation, release, and retransmission indicators for multiple TB CG transmissions. Therefore, generally only one TB can be transmitted at a time, reducing efficiency and thereby adversely affecting network performance.

[0084] Some aspects of the techniques and apparatus described herein provide support for activation, release, and retransmission of multiple TB CG communication. In some aspects, the techniques and apparatus described herein may be applied to access link communication and / or sidelink communication. CG communication may include, for example, uplink CG communication, downlink SPS communication, sidelink CG communication, or sidelink SPS communication. In some aspects, for example, a UE may receive a configuration corresponding to a CG, the CG being associated with a CG transmission including multiple TBs. The UE may further receive a DCI transmission including at least one state change indication corresponding to at least one state change associated with the CG transmission. In this manner, some aspects may facilitate transmission of multiple TBs using a CG, thereby improving communication efficiency and positively impacting network performance.

[0085] As noted above, Figure 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described with respect to Figure 4.

[0086] 5 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 relating to state changes associated with CG transmission of multiple TBs in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, a UE 502 and a network node 504 may be in communication with each other. In some aspects, the network node 504 may include a network node, a relay device, a network function, and / or a UE, among other examples.

[0087] As indicated by reference numeral 506, the network node 504 can transmit, and the UE 502 can receive, a configuration corresponding to a CG. The CG may be associated with a CG transmission that includes multiple TBs. In some aspects, the CG may include a downlink SPS grant. In some aspects, the CG may include an uplink CG. In some other aspects, the CG may include a sidelink SPS grant. In some other aspects, the CG may include a sidelink CG.

[0088] As indicated by reference numeral 508, the network node 504 may transmit, and the UE 502 may receive, a DCI transmission including at least one state change indication corresponding to at least one state change associated with the CG transmission. In some aspects, the at least one state change indication may include an indication of activation associated with the CG transmission, release associated with the CG transmission, or retransmission associated with the CG transmission. In some aspects, the CG may be activated, released, and / or retransmitted according to a PDSCH or PUSCH. For example, the DCI transmission may include a state change indication corresponding to all TBs associated with the PDSCH or PUSCH. In some other aspects, the state change indication may correspond to a TB. For example, in some aspects, a DCI transmission may serve one purpose (e.g., activation) for one TB and another purpose (e.g., release or retransmission) for another TB associated with the same PDSCH or PUSCH transmission.

[0089] In some aspects, the at least one state change may correspond to multiple TBs, and the at least one state change indication may include a first NDI value associated with a first TB of the multiple TBs and a second NDI value associated with a second TB of the multiple TBs. In some aspects, the at least one state change indication may indicate a state change associated with a CG transmission based at least in part on the first NDI value corresponding to the second NDI value. In some aspects, the at least one state change indication may not indicate a state change associated with a CG transmission based at least in part on the first NDI value being different from the second NDI value. In some aspects, the at least one state change indication may indicate a state change associated with a CG transmission based at least in part on the first NDI value being a specified value. In some aspects, the UE 502 may use only the first (or last) NDI value for validation and ignore the other NDI(s). For example, in some aspects, only the first (or last) NDI value may be used to indicate the purpose of the DCI (e.g., the type of state change caused by the DCI), and the other NDI(s) may be set to a fixed value regardless of the purpose of the DCI (e.g., the type of state change caused by the DCI). Alternatively, the other NDI values ​​may be reserved for other purposes (e.g., to indicate signaling and / or information other than the type of state change, among other examples).

[0090] In some aspects, the at least one state change may correspond to a plurality of TBs, and the at least one state change indication may include at least one of a first RV value associated with a first TB of the plurality of TBs and a second RV value associated with a second TB of the plurality of TBs. The at least one state change indication may indicate an activation associated with a CG transmission based at least in part on at least one of the first RV value or the second RV value including a specified value. In some aspects, the first TB of the plurality of TBs may be disabled based at least in part on the first pair of parameter values ​​including a specified pair of values. For example, the first pair of parameter values ​​may include a first RV value and a first MCS value associated with the first TB. The at least one state change indication may indicate a number of TBs to be activated of the plurality of TBs.

[0091] In some aspects, the at least one state change may correspond to a plurality of TBs, and the at least one state change indication may include at least one of a first pair of parameter values ​​or a second pair of parameter values. The first pair of parameter values ​​may include a first RV value associated with a first TB of the plurality of TBs and a first MCS value associated with the first TB, and the second pair of parameter values ​​may include a second RV value associated with a second TB of the plurality of TBs and a second MCS value associated with the second TB. In some aspects, the at least one state change indication may indicate a release associated with a CG transmission based at least in part on the first RV value corresponding to the second RV value and the first MCS value corresponding to the second MCS value.

[0092] The at least one state change may correspond to a plurality of TBs, and the at least one state change indication may include a first pair of parameter values ​​of a plurality of pairs of parameter values. The plurality of pairs of parameter values ​​may further include a second pair of parameter values, the first pair of parameter values ​​including a first RV value associated with a first TB of the plurality of TBs and a first MCS value associated with the first TB. The second pair of parameter values ​​may include a second RV value associated with a second TB of the plurality of TBs and a second MCS value associated with the second TB. The at least one state change indication may indicate a release associated with the CG transmission based at least in part on at least one of the first RV value or the first MCS value including a specified value.

[0093] In one example, the UE 502 may use only the first pair (or the last pair) of RV and MCS values ​​for the release indication. Any other pair or pairs of RV and MCS values ​​may be ignored by the UE 502. In another example, the first pair (or the last pair) of RV and MCS values ​​may be used for the release indication, and any other pairs may be set to fixed value pairs. In another example, the first pair (or the last pair) of RV and MCS values ​​may be used for the release indication, and any other pairs of RV and MCS values ​​may be reserved. The reserved values ​​may be used, for example, to indicate other information and / or signaling (e.g., other than the release indication).

[0094] As indicated by reference numeral 510, the UE 502 may discard the DCI transmission based at least in part on the first pair of parameter values ​​including at least one parameter value that is different from at least one parameter value of the second pair of parameter values. As indicated by reference numeral 512, the UE 502 may determine a validation associated with the at least one state change indication based at least in part on at least one of the second RV value or the second MCS value including a validation value. In some aspects, for example, the first TB may be enabled and the second TB may be disabled. The UE 502 may determine a first validity of the first TB and a second validity of the second TB.

[0095] In some aspects, the maximum number of TBs in the plurality of TBs may be based at least in part on a radio resource control parameter corresponding to the dynamic grant. In some aspects, the at least one state change may correspond to a plurality of TBs, and the DCI transmission may indicate the same state change for each TB of the plurality of TBs. The DCI transmission may correspond to a first number of TBs of the plurality of TBs, and the network node 504 may transmit, and the UE 502 may receive, an additional DCI transmission that reactivates the CG based at least in part on the updated scheduling information. The additional DCI transmission may correspond to a second number of TBs of the plurality of TBs, the second number being different from the first number.

[0096] In some aspects, the at least one state change indication may include a first state change indication corresponding to a first TB of the plurality of TBs and a second state change indication corresponding to a second TB of the plurality of TBs. The first state change indication may indicate a first state change associated with the first TB and a second state change associated with the second TB, the second state change being different from the first state change. In some aspects, the first state change indication may indicate a first state change based at least in part on at least one of a first NDI value associated with the first TB, a first RV value associated with the first TB, or a first MCS value associated with the first TB. The second state change indication may indicate a second state change based at least in part on at least one of a second NDI value associated with the second TB, a second RV value associated with the second TB, or a second MCS value associated with the second TB. The first state change may include a retransmission associated with the first TB. In some aspects, the first state change may include a retransmission based at least in part on the first NDI value associated with the first TB including the first designated value. In some aspects, the DCI transmission may include a HARQ ID including a HARQ process ID value indicating a HARQ process corresponding to the retransmission. In some aspects, the second state change may include a continuation state.

[0097] In some aspects, the UE 502 may determine a configuration index associated with the second TB based at least in part on a last PDSCH associated with the HARQ process. The first state change may include a retransmission based at least in part on a first pair of parameters associated with the first TB including a valid combination of parameter values. The first pair of parameters includes a first RV value associated with the first TB and a first MCS value associated with the first TB. In some aspects, the first state change may include a retransmission based at least in part on a first NDI value associated with the first TB including a first specified value, and the second state change includes an activation or release based at least in part on at least one of a second NDI value associated with the second TB including a second specified value or a second parameter pair associated with the second TB including at least one specified parameter value. The second pair of parameters may include an RV value associated with the second TB and an MCS value associated with the second TB. The activation may include reactivating the second TB based at least in part on the second pair of parameters.

[0098] In some aspects, the first state may include an activation associated with the first TB and the second state change may include a release associated with the second TB. The first state change may include an activation based at least in part on a first NDI value associated with the first TB that includes a specified NDI value and the second state change may include a release based at least in part on a second NDI value associated with the second TB that includes a specified value. In some aspects, the first state change may include an activation based at least in part on a first RV value associated with the first TB that includes a specified RV value and the second state change may include a release based at least in part on a second RV value. The second RV value may correspond to the first RV value. In some aspects, the first state change may include an activation based at least in part on a first MCS value associated with the first TB that includes an MCS value other than the specified MCS value and the second state change includes a release based at least in part on a second MCS value associated with the second TB that includes a specified MCS value. Scheduling information (e.g., time domain resource allocation, frequency domain resource allocation, spatial domain information, DMRS ports, precoding settings) included in the DCI transmission may be associated with only the first TB based at least in part on the second state change including a release.

[0099] In some aspects, the maximum number of TBs associated with a dynamic grant transmission corresponding to the dynamic grant may be equal to or greater than the maximum number of TBs in the plurality of TBs. A bit width of at least one field in a DCI format corresponding to a DCI transmission may be based at least in part on the dynamic grant. In some aspects, the maximum number of TBs associated with a dynamic grant transmission corresponding to the dynamic grant may be less than the maximum number of TBs in the plurality of TBs. A bit width of at least one field in a DCI format corresponding to a DCI transmission may be based at least in part on the maximum bit width associated with the dynamic grant and the CG.

[0100] In some aspects, the maximum number of TBs in the plurality of TBs may be based at least in part on RRC parameters corresponding to one or more CGs configured in the cell, the one or more CGs including CG. For example, the UE 502 may be configured with two separate parameters related to the maximum number of TBs per PUSCH and / or PDSCH. One parameter may be used to indicate the maximum number of TBs associated with a DG PUSCH or a DG PDSCH, and the other parameter may be associated with a CG PUSCH (e.g., UL CG), a CG PDSCH (e.g., DL SPS), or a sidelink (SL) CG. In some aspects, the maximum number of TBs in the plurality of TBs may be based at least in part on RRC parameters corresponding to a CG. For example, the maximum number of TBs per CG transmission may be configured separately for each CG configuration (e.g., DL SPS configuration, UL CG configuration, or SL CG configuration).

[0101] In some aspects, the CG may include a downlink SPS grant, and the UE 502 may transmit a HARQ-ACK transmission based at least in part on the CG transmission. In some aspects, the number of bits associated with the CG and included in the HARQ-ACK transmission may be based at least in part on the number of TBs activated in the control channel corresponding to the CG. In some aspects, the number of bits associated with the CG and included in the HARQ-ACK transmission may be based at least in part on the maximum number of TBs configured for the CG. The maximum number of TBs configured for the CG may be, for example, two TBs, and the HARQ-ACK transmission may include two bits.

[0102] In some aspects, the UE 502 may switch to a single TB configuration corresponding to the CG based at least in part on an amount of data to be communicated using the CG. In some aspects, the UE 502 may determine whether to transmit available data on resources associated with the first TB or the second TB (e.g., the first TB may be scheduled on a first number of spatial layers and the second TB may be scheduled on a second number of spatial layers). In some aspects, the determination of which TB to use for the CG transmission (from two or more scheduled TBs) may depend on the priority of the first TB and the second TB. In some aspects, the first TB of the multiple TBs may have a first priority higher than a second priority associated with the second TB based at least in part on the switching to the single TB configuration. In some aspects, the priority may be determined based on a TB index. For example, the first priority may be higher than the second priority based at least in part on the TB index associated with the first TB being lower than the TB index associated with the second TB. In some aspects, the priority may be determined based on an MCS value. For example, the first priority may be higher than the second priority based at least in part on the MCS value associated with the first TB being higher (or lower) than the MCS value associated with the second TB. In some aspects, the priority may be determined based on the number of layers. For example, in some aspects, the first priority may be higher than the second priority based at least in part on the number of layers associated with the first TB being higher (or lower) than the number of layers associated with the second TB.

[0103] In some aspects, the UE 502 may receive a configuration including a dedicated parameter (e.g., an RRC parameter, or a MAC-CE parameter) indicating that the UE 502 can switch to a single TB configuration. In the case of DL SPS, the dedicated parameter may indicate that the network node 504 can switch transmission to a single TB transmission depending on the availability of data. In this case, the UE 502 may perform blind detection to detect the number of TBs actually transmitted by the network node 504. In the case of UL CG, the roles of the network node 504 and the UE 502 are reversed. For example, the dedicated parameter may indicate whether the UE 502 is allowed to dynamically switch to a single TB transmission depending on the availability of data. If this is indeed allowed, the network node 504 may perform blind detection to determine the number of TBs transmitted by the UE 502 in each CG transmission occasion. On the other hand, if the parameter indicates that the UE 502 cannot dynamically switch to a single TB transmission, the UE 502 may zero pad the second TB. For example, the UE 502 may generate some padding bits and send the padding bits on the second TB (instead of skipping the transmission of the second TB).

[0104] In one example, the dedicated parameter may also be used to indicate whether the UE 502 may skip the entire transmission (e.g., if no TBs are transmitted) if the data is not generated at the UE 502. In other words, if the parameter indicates that the UE 502 is permitted to skip TBs, the indication may also indicate that the UE 502 may be able to skip both TBs, and thus the network node 504 may decide among the three hypotheses: no TBs are transmitted, one TB is transmitted, and two TBs are transmitted. In another example, a separate RRC parameter may be used to indicate whether the UE 502 is permitted to skip both TBs. In that case, several scenarios may arise. In some aspects, the UE 502 may be permitted to skip one TB, but not both. In some other aspects, the UE 502 may be permitted to skip both one TB and both TBs. In some aspects, the UE 502 may be permitted to skip all TBs (and thus the entire CG transmission), but not to skip TBs partially. In some other aspects, the UE 502 may not be allowed to skip any TBs.

[0105] The UE 502 may perform blind decoding on the additional CG transmission to determine the number of transmitted TBs based at least in part on the switching to the single TB configuration. In some aspects, the UE 502 may transmit a HARQ-ACK transmission based at least in part on the CG transmission, where the HARQ-ACK transmission includes two bits regardless of whether the network node 504 switched to single TB transmission.

[0106] As noted above, Figure 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those described with respect to Figure 5.

[0107] 6 illustrates an example process 600, implemented, for example, by a UE, in accordance with the present disclosure. The example process 600 is an example of a UE (e.g., UE 120) performing operations related to state changes associated with CG transmissions of multiple TBs.

[0108] 6, in some aspects, process 600 may include receiving a configuration corresponding to a CG, the CG being associated with a CG transmission including multiple TBs (block 610). For example, the UE (e.g., using the communications manager 808 and / or the receiving component 802 shown in FIG. 8) may receive a configuration corresponding to a CG, the CG being associated with a CG transmission including multiple TBs, as described above.

[0109] 6, in some aspects, the process 600 may include receiving a DCI transmission including at least one state change indication corresponding to at least one state change associated with the CG transmission (block 620).

[0119] In a twentieth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to nineteenth aspects, a first TB is enabled and a second TB is disabled. In a twenty-first aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to twentieth aspects, the at least one state change corresponds to a plurality of TBs, and the DCI transmission indicates a same state change for each TB of the plurality of TBs. In a twenty-second aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to twenty-first aspects, the DCI transmission corresponds to a first number of TBs of the plurality of TBs, and the process 600 includes receiving an additional DCI transmission that reactivates the CG based at least in part on the updated scheduling information, and the additional DCI transmission corresponds to a second number of TBs of the plurality of TBs, the second number being different from the first number.
