Description

[Technical field]

[0001] cross reference This patent application claims the benefit of Indian Patent Application No. 201941044583 by BHATTAD et al., entitled “SEMI-PERSISTENT SCHEDULING DEACTIVATION FOR INTERLACE RESOURCE ALLOCATION,” filed on November 4, 2019, which is assigned to the assignee of the present application and is expressly incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The following relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly, to resource deactivation for interlace resource allocation. [Background technology]

[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcasts, and the like. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Aspects of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE Advanced (LTE-A), or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems, sometimes referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), or Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may in some cases be known as user equipment (UE).

[0004] In some cases, the base station may configure the UE with periodic semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resources or configured-grant (CG) resources. The UE may use the SPS resources or CG resources to receive signaling from or transmit signaling to the base station. For example, the UE may use the SPS resources to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission from the base station or use the CG resources to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to the base station. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

In general, the described techniques provide a user equipment (UE) for receiving a first control message associated with a periodic resource grant, the first control message including a resource allocation field, and a first value of the resource allocation field allocating a first one or more periodic resources of a set of periodic resources. The UE may transmit or receive signaling on the one or more periodic resources. After transmitting or receiving the signaling, the UE may receive a second control message including the resource allocation field and at least one other field, and the resource allocation field of the second control message includes a second value. The UE may deactivate the periodic resource grant based on the second value of the resource allocation field and a third value of the at least one other field.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0036] In some cases, a base station may send a control message to a user equipment (UE) to indicate to the UE to activate or deactivate a periodic resource grant associated with one or more periodic resources, such as semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) resources or configuration grant (CG) resources. To verify whether the control message is for activating or deactivating a periodic resource grant, the UE may check values ​​of a set of fields in the control message. The set of fields may include a resource assignment field (e.g., a resource block assignment field) that indicates a resource block group allocated to the UE. Certain values ​​(e.g., all ones) may be reserved and not used for a resource grant. If the resource assignment field has a value corresponding to performing a deactivation and other related conditions are met (e.g., other fields in the set of fields also meet the criteria for performing a deactivation), the UE may deactivate the periodic resource grant.

[0037] However, in interlace-based resource allocation, each bit may be associated with a different resource or resource block, and thus the value for performing deactivation (e.g., all 1's) may correspond to a valid set of resources to be activated (e.g., also all 1's). Such a scenario may result from the resource block assignment field being a bitmap, where each bit of the bitmap is associated with an allocation to a different periodic resource. Having all 1's may indicate that each periodic resource of the bitmap should be activated. Assuming that the value for performing deactivation is the same as the value for activating a set of resources or the value for scheduling a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmission, the UE may not be able to decide whether to perform activation, deactivation, or HARQ transmission.

[0038] To prevent such a scenario from occurring, the network may implement one or more of the techniques described herein. In one aspect, the network may invert the definition of the bitmap such that 0 indicates that the corresponding periodic resource should be activated and 1 indicates that the corresponding periodic resource should not be activated. Thus, all 1's may indicate that the periodic resource should not be activated, which may be an indication that conforms to performing deactivation. In another aspect, the network may set the validation condition for deactivation to be all 0's, which may be the value of the resource block assignment field that corresponds to the periodic resource not being activated. In yet another aspect, the UE may determine that all 1's do not map to a valid resource configuration (e.g., all 1's indicate performing deactivation every time).

[0039] In some cases, interlace-based allocation may involve the resource block allocation field having fewer bits than the resource block allocation fields of other types of allocations (e.g., frequency allocations). Fewer bits may increase the likelihood that the UE may erroneously detect a command to deactivate resources (e.g., the Hamming distance between valid activation and deactivation values ​​may be reduced). Thus, when performing interlace-based allocation, the UE may check the values ​​of other fields, such as a transmit power control (TPC) field or a time domain resource allocation field, to determine whether deactivation or activation should be performed.

[0040] In some cases, the UE may have an activated periodic resource grant for SPS resources and an activated periodic resource grant for CG resources simultaneously. To allow the control message to indicate whether to deactivate the periodic resource grant for SPS resources, the periodic resource grant for CG resources, or both, the control message may include a field (e.g., a 2-bit field) indicating which periodic resource grant to deactivate.

[0041] Aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Additional aspects of the present disclosure are described in the context of additional wireless communication systems, communication diagrams, and process flows. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow charts relating to resource deactivation for interlace resource allocation.

[0042] 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting resource deactivation for interlace resource allocation according to aspects of the disclosure. 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 aspects, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, a LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some aspects, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0043] The base stations 105 may be distributed throughout a geographic area to form a wireless communication system 100 and may be devices in 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 over which the UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be one instance of a geographic area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support communication of signals via one or more radio access technologies.

[0044] The UEs 115 may be distributed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be fixed, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or with different capabilities. Several UEs 115 are shown in FIG. 1. 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 equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment) as shown in FIG. 1.

[0045] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or with each other, or both. For example, the base stations 105 may interface with the core network 130 through one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an S1, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations 105 may communicate with each other over the backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface), either directly (e.g., directly between the base stations 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130), or both. In some aspects, the backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links.

[0046] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include or be referred to as a base transceiver station, radio base station, access point, radio transceiver, Node B, eNode B (eNB), Next Generation Node B or Giga Node B (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), Home Node B, Home eNode B, or other suitable terminology by those skilled in the art.

[0047] The UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other aspects. The UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some aspects, the UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, among other aspects, which may be implemented in various articles, such as an appliance, a vehicle, or a meter, among other aspects.

[0048] The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, which may act as relays, as shown in FIG. 1, as well as base stations 105 and network equipment, including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other aspects.

[0049] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may wirelessly communicate 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 to support the communication link 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication link 125 may include a portion (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) of a radio frequency spectrum band 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 collection signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation on 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. The UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0050] A signal waveform transmitted on a carrier may be composed of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using a multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and the subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements and the higher the order of the modulation scheme that the UE 115 receives, the higher the data rate of the UE 115 may be. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communication with the UE 115.

[0051] The time interval for the base station 105 or the UE 115 may be, for example, T s =1 / (Δf max N f ) seconds, where Δf max may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f may represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. The communication resource time intervals may be organized according to radio frames, each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0052] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some aspects, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into several slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include several symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of a cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems 100, a slot may be further divided into multiple minislots that include one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may include one or more (e.g., N f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the frequency band of operation.

[0053] A subframe, slot, minislot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some aspects, 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 communications system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0054] The physical channels may be multiplexed on the carriers according to various techniques. The physical control channels and the physical data channels may be multiplexed on the downlink carriers using, for example, one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM), a frequency division multiplexing (FDM), or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for the physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may span the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., a CORESET) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search the 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 the control channel candidates may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with the coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for sending control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for sending control information to a particular UE 115.

[0055] In some aspects, the base stations 105 may be mobile and thus provide communication coverage to moving geographic coverage areas 110. In some aspects, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other aspects, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include heterogeneous networks, for example, where different types of base stations 105 provide coverage to various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0056] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable or low latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) or mission-critical communications. The UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low latency, or critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functionality). Ultra-reliable communications may include private or group communications 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 service prioritization, and the 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.

[0057] In some aspects, the 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 the base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of the base station 105 or may not be able to receive transmissions from the base station 105 in some aspects. In some aspects, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to every other UE 115 in the group. In some aspects, the base station 105 facilitates scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication occurs between UEs 115 without the involvement of the base station 105.

[0058] 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 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) that manages access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) that routes packets or interconnects to external networks. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for UEs 115 served by base stations 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be forwarded through a user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to network operator IP services 150. Operator IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0059] Some of the network devices, such as the base station 105, may include subcomponents, such as an access network entity 140, which may be an instance of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with the UE 115 through one or more other access network transmitting entities 145, which may be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, or a transmit / receive point (TRP). Each access network transmitting entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or integrated into a single network device (e.g., the base station 105).

[0060] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically within the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). The 300 MHz to 3 GHz region is commonly known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band, as the wavelengths range from approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter in length. Although UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, these waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macrocell to serve UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmissions using lower frequencies and longer waves in the shortwave (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0061] 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 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 aspects, operation in an unlicensed band may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operation in an unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other aspects.

[0062] The base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the base station 105 or UE 115 may be located in one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located in an antenna assembly such as an antenna tower. In some aspects, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located in diverse geographic locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array with several rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming of communications 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 panels may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted through the antenna ports.

[0063] Beamforming, sometimes referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used in a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., base station 105, UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., transmit beam, receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals communicated through antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating in a particular orientation relative to the antenna array are subject to constructive interference and other signals are subject to destructive interference. Adjustment of signals communicated through antenna elements may include the transmitting or receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals conveyed through an antenna element associated with the device. The adjustment associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting or receiving device, or to some other orientation).

[0064] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcasts, and the like. These systems may be multiple-access systems capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). A wireless network, e.g., a wireless local area network (WLAN), such as a Wi-Fi (i.e., Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11) network, may include an access point (AP) that may communicate with one or more wireless or mobile devices. The AP may be coupled to a network, such as the Internet, and may enable mobile devices to communicate over the network (or communicate with other devices coupled to the access point). A wireless device may communicate bidirectionally with a network device. For example, in a WLAN, a device may communicate with an associated AP via a downlink (e.g., a communication link from the AP to the device) and an uplink (e.g., a communication link from the device to the AP). A wireless personal area network (PAN), which may include a Bluetooth connection, may provide short-range wireless connectivity between two or more paired wireless devices. For example, a wireless device such as a cellular phone may utilize wireless PAN communications to exchange information such as audio signals with a wireless headset.

[0065] In some cases (e.g., when UE115 is operating in the NR unlicensed (NR-U) mode), the base station 105 may configure UE115 with CG resources or SPS resources. Each SPS resource may be a periodic resource associated with a set of HARQ identification information and may be used for downlink communication, sidelink communication, or uplink communication. Similarly, the CG resources may be used for downlink communication, sidelink communication, or uplink communication. In some cases, UE115 may be able to receive physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions or physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmissions on the SPS resources without first receiving the corresponding physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) message or physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) message. The periodic resource grants for SPS resources and CG resources may be activated or deactivated using a control message that includes downlink control information (DCI) based on a configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (CS-RNTI). For example, the periodic resource grant for a CG resource or an SPS resource may be deactivated after receiving the control message if the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the corresponding DCI format is scrambled with the CS-RNTI of the DCI of the control message. Additionally or alternatively, a CG resource or an SPS resource may be activated or deactivated after receiving the control message if the new data indicator field of the DCI is set to 0. The CG resources, SPS resources, or both may be used in industrial IoT applications.

[0066] UE115 may determine that the DCI format for performing activation of SPS or CG should be verified according to the corresponding DCI format of Table 1 when each of the fields refers to Table 1.

Table 1

[0067] UE 115 may determine that, if each of the fields refers to Table 2, the DCI format for performing the deactivation or release of the SPS or CG should be verified according to the corresponding DCI format in Table 2. [Table 2]

[0068] If the UE 115 achieves the verification, the UE 115 may determine that the information in the DCI is a valid activation or release of a CG or SPS resource. If the verification is not achieved, the UE 115 may determine that a DCI format with a non-matching CRC was detected. The UE 115 may ignore the DCI format with a non-matching CRC or failed verification.

[0069] NR-U may support interlace-based frequency resource allocation. For example, the base station 105 may configure the UE 115 with an interlace consisting of a set of frequency resources spread across a bandwidth (e.g., a listen-before-talk (LBT) bandwidth within the NR-U bandwidth). The type of interlace resource allocation used and the form of the resource allocation field may depend on the subcarrier spacing (SCS) associated with the frequency resource. For example, if the SCS is 30 kHz, the resource allocation field may have a 5-bit bitmap used to indicate various interlace combinations. Alternatively, if the SCS is 15 kHz, the resource allocation field may have a 10-bit bitmap used to indicate various interlace combinations. In either case, each bit of the bitmap may correspond to a different set of interlaced resource blocks. In other cases, a resource indicator value (RIV) type of allocation may be used for the resource allocation field. The RIV type assignment specifies the value of the resource allocation field (e.g., up to two resources with N bits in the resource allocation field) to point to a particular combination of resources (e.g., a starting resource and a number of resources). N -1 value). The RIV type assignment may include a start length indicator value (SLIV) or combination of RIV values ​​that indicate a particular combination. According to some aspects, when the SCS is 15 kHz, the resource block assignment field may use 6 bits to indicate the start interlace index and the number of consecutive interlace indexes, and may use up to 9 remaining RIV values ​​to indicate predefined interlace combinations.

[0070] The UE 115 may receive a first control message associated with the periodic resource grant from the base station 105, the first control message including a resource allocation field, where a first value of the resource allocation field allocates a first one or more periodic resources of the set of periodic resources. The UE 115 may transmit or receive signaling to or from the base station 105 on the one or more periodic resources. After transmitting or receiving the signaling, the UE 115 may receive a second control message including the resource allocation field and at least one other field from the base station 105, where the resource allocation field of the second control message includes a second value. The UE 115 may deactivate the periodic resource grant based on the second value of the resource allocation field and a third value of the at least one other field.

[0071] 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 200 supporting resource deactivation for interlace resource allocation in accordance with aspects of the disclosure. In some aspects, the wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the base station 105-a and the UE 115-a may be examples of the base station 105 and the UE 115, respectively, as described with reference to FIG.

[0072] In some cases, the base station 105-a may transmit a control message 205 to the UE 115-a. The control message 205 may indicate activating or deactivating one or more periodic resources, as described with reference to FIG. 1. The control message 205 may be transmitted via a PDCCH and may include a DCI. The DCI may include one or more fields, including a resource assignment field 210, sometimes referred to as a resource allocation field, as described with reference to FIG. 1. The resource allocation field may correspond to a frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA).

[0073] If the resource assignment field 210 includes all bits set to a predefined bit value 215 (e.g., a bit value of "1") such as those described with reference to Table 2 of FIG. 1, the UE 115-a may deactivate a periodic resource grant associated with one or more periodic resources. However, if the resource assignment field is used for interlace-based resource allocation using a bitmap where each bit corresponds to an interlace, each bit set to a predefined bit value 215 may point to a valid resource allocation. Thus, the UE 115-a may not be able to determine whether to deactivate a periodic resource grant or activate a periodic resource grant associated with the resource assignment field 210 that allocated each resource.

[0074] To prevent such a scenario from occurring, the network may implement one or more of the techniques described herein. In one aspect, the network may invert the definition of the bitmap such that a bit value of "0" indicates that the corresponding periodic resource should be activated and a bit value of "1" indicates that the corresponding periodic resource should not be activated. Thus, all bits of the resource allocation field set to a bit value of "1" may indicate that the periodic resource should not be activated. In some such aspects, the network may invert the definition for a bitmap corresponding to one SCS (e.g., one of 15 kHz or 30 kHz) but not another bitmap corresponding to another SCS (e.g., the other of 15 kHz or 30 kHz). Instead, an all "1" value of the resource allocation bit field for the other SCS may still be used to indicate deactivation. In another aspect, the network may set the validation condition for deactivation to be all 0s, which may be the value of the resource block assignment field corresponding to the periodic resource not being activated. In yet another aspect, the UE 115-a may determine that all bits in the resource allocation field having a bit value of "1" do not map to a valid resource configuration, and thus, when the UE 115-a receives all "1's" in the resource allocation field, the UE 115-a may perform deactivation.

[0075] In some cases, interlace-based allocation may involve the resource block allocation field having fewer bits than the resource block allocation fields of other types of allocations (e.g., frequency allocations). Fewer bits may increase the likelihood that the UE 115-a may erroneously detect a command to deactivate resources. Thus, when performing an interlace-based allocation, the UE 115-a may examine values ​​of other fields, such as a transmit power control (TPC) field or a time domain resource assignment field (e.g., in addition to the fields in Table 2), to determine whether a deactivation or activation should be performed. The UE 115-a may refrain from examining such fields when a non-interlace-based allocation (e.g., frequency resource allocation) is being performed, or may examine such fields regardless of what type of resource allocation is being performed. In the latter case, the UE 115-a may examine such fields as long as the cell serving the UE 115-a is an NR-U cell. It should be noted that such a method may be performed for when an activated periodic resource grant is for a CG resource (e.g., an uplink or sidelink CG resource), when an activated periodic resource grant is for an SPS resource (e.g., a downlink or sidelink SPS resource), or when there is an activated periodic resource grant for both.

[0076] In some cases, the UE 115-a may have an activated periodic resource grant for SPS resources and an activated periodic resource grant for CG resources at the same time. Both periodic resource grants may be activated by a single control message 205 or may be activated by separate control messages 205. In some cases, the CG resources and the SPS resources whose periodic resource grants are activated by a single control message 205 may be in the same bandwidth part. One technique for selectively deactivating the periodic resource grant for SPS resources or the activated periodic resource grant for CG resources is to send a separate control message 205 (e.g., a separate DCI) for deactivation. However, such a method may incur extra overhead.

[0077] Instead, to allow the control message to indicate whether to deactivate the periodic resource grant for SPS resources, the periodic resource grant for CG resources, or both without incurring extra overhead, the control message 205 may include a field (e.g., a 2-bit field) indicating which periodic resource grant to deactivate or release. Releasing or deactivating both the periodic resource grant for CG resources and the periodic resource grant for SPS resources may be referred to as joint deactivation or joint release. Although the control message 205 used for activation may include different resource allocations by CG and SPS and thus may require using different DCIs for CG vs. SPS activation, the deactivation command may not include any related scheduling information and may have overlapping content for deactivation of both CG and SPS resource grants. Thus, the UE 115-a may be able to use a single control message 205 to deactivate periodic resource grants for either or both CG and SPS resources. In some cases, the CG and SPS resources whose periodic resource grants are deactivated by a single control message 205 may be in the same bandwidth part. One case for performing the deactivation may be described with reference to FIG.

[0078] If the CG resource is an uplink resource and the SPS resource is a downlink resource, or vice versa, the control message 205 may include a deactivation or release instruction in either the downlink DCI (e.g., DCI format 0_0) or the uplink DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_0). It should be noted that the methods described herein may be applied to downlink and uplink DCIs, as long as the control message 205 used for activation includes a DCI having a resource block assignment field that includes a bitmap type resource allocation field for resource allocation.

[0079] The methods as described herein may also be applied to situations where the control message 205 is used to activate SPS or CG resources for sidelink communications (e.g., communications between UEs 115) on unlicensed channels. Such methods may be applicable when bitmap-based interlace allocation is supported for transmissions between UEs 115. For example, the base station 105-a may transmit a control message 205 to the UE 115-a to activate periodic resource grants for sidelink SPS and / or CG resources. Similarly, the base station 105-a may transmit a control message 205 to the UE 115-a to deactivate periodic resource grants for sidelink SPS and / or CG resources. Alternatively, the UE 115 communicating with the UE 115-a according to the sidelink SPS and / or CG resources may transmit a DCI or sidelink control information (SCI) to the UE 115-a to indicate deactivation of periodic resource grants for the sidelink SPS and / or CG resources.

[0080] Redefining the bitmap or verification condition, or determining that all bits with a bit value of "1" are invalid resource configurations, may prevent confusion on the part of the UE 115-a and may allow the UE 115-a to more accurately execute commands from the base station 105-a. On the other hand, using an additional field to verify whether the control message 205 is for deactivating a periodic resource grant may allow the UE 115-a to experience fewer false positives and to be less likely to erroneously deactivate a periodic resource grant that the base station 105-a did not request to be deactivated. On the other hand, deactivating both the SPS periodic resource grant and the CG periodic resource grant using a single control message 205 may limit the overhead associated with transmitting two separate control messages 205 to deactivate each periodic resource grant.

[0081] 3 illustrates an example of a communication diagram 300 supporting resource deactivation for interlace resource allocation according to aspects of the disclosure. In some aspects, the communication diagram 300 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100. The communication diagram 300 may illustrate an example of a control message that deactivates one or more periodic resource grants.

[0082] The communication diagram 300 may include resource blocks 310 defined by frequency resources (e.g., subcarriers, subbands, groups of subchannels) and time spans 305 (e.g., subframes, symbols, slots). In addition, the communication diagram 300 may be divided into periods 315 during which periodic resources (e.g., CG resources 325 and / or SPS resources 320) may repeat. Note that there may be instances where the periods 315 for the SPS resources 320 may differ from the periods for the CG resources 325.

[0083] During the period 315-a, the periodic resource grant may not be activated at the UE 115. At some point within the period 315-a, the base station 105 may send a control message to the UE 115 to activate a periodic resource grant for the SPS resource 320, where the mechanism for activation may be as described with reference to FIG. 2. Thus, over the periods 315-b and 315-c, the base station 105 and the UE 115 may communicate on the SPS resource 320. For example, on the SPS resource 320, the base station 105 may transmit a PDSCH transmission to the UE 115, or the UE 115 may receive a PSSCH transmission from another UE 115.

[0084] During the period 315-c, the base station 105 may transmit a control message to the UE 115 activating a periodic resource grant for the CG resources 325, where the mechanism for activation may be as described with reference to Figure 2. Thus, over the period 315-d, the base station 105 and the UE 115 may communicate on the SPS resources 320 and the CG resources 325. For example, the base station 105 may transmit a PDSCH transmission to the UE 115 on the SPS resources 320, and the UE 115 may transmit a PUSCH transmission to the base station 105 or a PSSCH transmission to another UE 115 on the CG resources 325.

[0085] During the period 315-d, the base station 105 may transmit a control message to the UE 115 that deactivates the periodic resource grants for both the SPS resources 320 and the CG resources 325. For example, the base station 105 may transmit a control message with a field indicating that both periodic resource grants are to be deactivated. Thus, during the period 315-e, the UE 115 and the base station 105 may not communicate on the SPS resources 320 or the CG resources 325.

[0086] 4 illustrates an example of a process flow 400 supporting resource deactivation for interlace resource allocation according to aspects of the disclosure. In some aspects, the process flow 400 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the base station 105-b and the UE 115-b may be examples of the base station 105 and the UE 115, respectively, as described with reference to FIG.

[0087] At 405, the base station 105-b may transmit a first control message (e.g., DCI) indicating activating a first periodic resource grant, and the UE 115-b may receive the first control message. The first control message may include a resource allocation field, where each bit of the resource allocation field is associated with an allocation of a periodic resource of the set of periodic resources. In some cases, a first value of the resource allocation field of the first control message may allocate a first one or more periodic resources of the set of periodic resources. The first one or more periodic resources may be SPS resources or CG resources.

[0088] The UE 115-b may transmit or receive signaling on the first one or more periodic resources, at 410. The base station 105-b may receive or transmit the signaling, respectively.

[0089] At 415, the base station 105-b may transmit a control message (e.g., a DCI) including a resource allocation field and at least one other field. The resource allocation field of the control message may have an associated value, and at least one other field of the control message may have an associated value. The associated value of the resource allocation field of the control message may be at a value indicating deactivating the first one or more periodic resources. For example, the associated value may correspond to a de-allocation condition for each resource of the set of periodic resources, such as all ones according to one implementation as described with reference to FIG. 2 or all zeros according to another implementation as described with reference to FIG. 2. However, the associated value of the at least one other field of the control message may have a value that fails to indicate deactivating the first periodic resource grant. Thus, the UE 115-b may not deactivate the first periodic resource grant. In addition, assuming that the associated value corresponds to a de-allocation condition for each resource of the set of periodic resources, this may cause the resource allocation field to not point to a resource to be activated. Thus, the UE 115-b may not activate new resources. In some cases, the at least one other field may be a HARQ process number field, a redundancy version field, a new data indicator field, a TPC field, a time domain allocation field, or a combination thereof.

[0090] The UE 115-b may transmit or receive the additional signaling on the first periodic resource or resources, at 420. The base station 105-b may receive or transmit the additional signaling, respectively.

[0091] At 425, the base station 105-b may transmit a control message (e.g., DCI) associated with the second periodic resource grant. The control message may include an associated value of a resource allocation field that allocates a second one or more periodic resources of the second set of periodic resources. Activating the second periodic resource grant may not deactivate the first periodic resource grant if one of the first one or more periodic resources and the second one or more periodic resources is an SPS resource and the other of the first one or more periodic resources and the second one or more periodic resources is a CG resource. A control message including an uplink DCI may configure an uplink or sidelink CG resource, and a control message including a downlink DCI may configure a downlink or sidelink SPS resource.

[0092] At 430, the UE 115-b may transmit or receive additional signaling on the first resource(s) and / or the second resource(s). The UE 115-b may transmit or receive on the first resource(s) and the second resource(s) when the first resource(s) are downlink SPS resources and the second resource(s) are uplink CG resources, or vice versa.

[0093] At 435, the base station 105-b may transmit a control message (e.g., DCI) including a resource allocation field and at least one other field, and the UE 115-b may receive the control message. The resource allocation field of the control message may have an associated value, and at least one other field of the control message may have an associated value. The associated value of the resource allocation field of the control message may be at a value indicating deactivating the first one or more periodic resources. For example, the associated value may correspond to a de-allocation condition for each resource of the set of periodic resources, such as all ones according to one implementation as described with reference to FIG. 2 or all zeros according to another implementation as described with reference to FIG. 2. Similarly, the associated value of the at least one other field of the control message may have a value indicating deactivating the first periodic resource grant.

[0094] At 440, the UE 115-b may deactivate the first periodic resource grant based on the value of the resource allocation field and the value of at least one other field of the control message indicating deactivating the first periodic resource grant. If the UE 115-b had activated the second periodic resource grant, the UE 115-b may also deactivate the second periodic resource grant based on the value of the resource allocation field and the value of at least one other field of the control message of 435 indicating deactivating the first periodic resource grant. Alternatively, the control message of 435 may include a field indicating whether to deactivate the first periodic resource grant, the second periodic resource grant, or both. In such a case, the UE 115-b may deactivate the periodic resource grant indicated by that field. In some cases, deactivating the first periodic resource grant may be based on the control message of 435 including a CS-RNTI scrambled with a CRC.

[0095] In some cases, deactivating the first periodic resource grant may be based on the type of resource allocation associated with the resource allocation field. For example, if the type of resource allocation is not bitmap-based or interlace-based allocation and each of at least one other field, except the TPC field or the time domain allocation field, indicates to perform deactivation, the UE 115-b may still perform deactivation. However, if the type of resource allocation is bitmap-based or interlace-based and the TPC field or the time domain allocation field does not indicate to perform deactivation, the UE 115-b may refrain from performing deactivation. In other cases, the UE 115-b may refrain from performing deactivation if the TPC field or the time domain allocation field fails to indicate to perform deactivation, regardless of the type of resource allocation.

[0096] Assuming that the UE 115-b deactivates the first periodic resource grant (e.g., via a field indicating to deactivate the first periodic resource grant) but does not deactivate the second periodic resource grant, the UE 115-b may transmit or receive signaling on the second periodic resource or resources at 445. The base station 105-b may receive or transmit the signaling, respectively.
