Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] cross reference This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 17 / 127,720, entitled "TECHNIQUES FOR ADAPTING SCHEDULING TIMELINE TO PROCESSING GRID," by Nam et al., filed December 18, 2020, and assigned to the assignee of the present application.

[0002] The following relates to wireless communications, including techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid. [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 so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples 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] Some wireless communication systems support wireless communications in higher frequency bands, such as the frequency ranges FR3 and FR4 (e.g., 52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz). In these higher frequency bands, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms with large subcarrier spacing (SCS) may be used to help reduce the effects of phase noise. Due to the larger SCS, the slot length may be shorter. For example, from FR2 to FR4, the slot length may decrease by a factor of eight. To perform wireless communications with shorter slot lengths, the processing delay or timeline at the UE may need to be reduced. However, the processing timeline at the UE (e.g., the timeline for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) processing) may not scale with the shortened slot length, and conventional communication systems may be inadequate to address these issues. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

For example, the UE may be configured to send a capability report to a base station, where the capability report indicates that the UE can support both single-slot and multi-slot scheduling. The base station may then configure the UE with a configuration for single-slot and multi-slot processing based on the capability report.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0050] Some wireless communication systems support wireless communications in higher frequency bands, such as FR3 and FR4 (e.g., 52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz). In these higher frequency bands, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms with larger subcarrier spacing (SCS) may be used to help reduce the effects of phase noise compared to lower frequency bands, such as FR1 and FR2. Due to the larger SCS, the slot length may be shorter. For example, if an SCS of 120 kHz and 960 kHz is considered for FR2 and FR4, respectively, the slot length may decrease by a factor of eight from FR2 to FR4. To perform wireless communications with a shorter slot length, the processing delay or timeline in a user equipment (UE) may need to be reduced. However, the processing timeline (e.g., the timeline for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) processing) in a UE may not scale with the shortened slot length. For example, in some cases, the reduced slot length may cause the UE to take longer than one slot to process a received PDCCH. Additionally, beam switching (adjusting radio frequency (RF) circuitry) and time division duplex (TDD) direction changes (eg, from downlink to uplink) may require more symbols in a larger SCS.

[0051] Some wireless devices may be configured to perform wireless communications according to a single-slot processing mode, a multi-slot processing mode, or both. For example, in a multi-slot scheduling mode (e.g., a multi-slot processing mode), a single PDCCH may schedule transmissions of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and / or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) over multiple slots, rather than the PDCCH scheduling PDSCH / PUSCH transmissions for a single slot, as may be done according to a single-slot scheduling mode (e.g., a single-slot processing mode). However, some wireless communication systems do not support signaling that can inform the network that a UE can support multi-slot scheduling. Thus, without knowledge of a UE's ability to support multi-slot scheduling, the network may refrain from implementing multi-slot scheduling, thereby preventing the usefulness of such multi-slot scheduling techniques.

[0052] Thus, techniques are disclosed for signaling a UE's capability to support processing modes for both single-slot and multi-slot scheduling intervals. In particular, the techniques may enable the UE to indicate whether it supports a first processing mode for single-slot scheduling, a second processing mode for multi-slot scheduling, or both. The base station may then be configured to indicate to the UE which processing mode should be used. For example, the UE may be configured to send a capability report to the base station, where the capability report indicates that the UE can support both single-slot and multi-slot scheduling. The base station may then configure the UE with a configuration for single-slot and multi-slot processing based on the capability report. The base station may then configure the UE with the processing mode to be applied and communicate with the UE using the selected processing mode (e.g., single-slot processing mode, multi-slot processing mode).

[0053] In some implementations, the capability report transmitted by the UE may include information regarding parameters associated with multi-slot scheduling at the UE. Information that may be signaled to the base station via the capability report may include the UE's processing capability as a function of the SCS, a defined (e.g., maximum) amount of control channel elements (CCEs) and / or control channel candidates (e.g., PDCCH candidates) that can be blind decoded by the UE, a defined amount of monitoring opportunities for a scheduling interval including multiple slots, a search space periodicity for a scheduling interval (e.g., a nominal grid) including multiple slots, or any combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the capability report transmitted to the base station may indicate that the UE is configured to adjust hardware characteristics (e.g., RF characteristics, beam switching, baseband characteristics, transmit / receive times, transmit power) at the UE between adjacent scheduling intervals. By indicating various capabilities and / or parameters associated with multi-slot processing modes at the UE to the base station, the techniques described herein may enable improved scheduling of wireless communications at the UE for both single-slot and multi-slot processing modes.

[0054] 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 example communication configurations and example process flows. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts relating to techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid.

[0055] 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 100 that supports techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid according to aspects of the present 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 examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, 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.

[0056] The base stations 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100 and may be devices of different forms or with different capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which the UEs 115 and the base station 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may support communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0057] The UEs 115 may be dispersed 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 of different forms or with different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are shown in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be able to communicate 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.

[0058] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130, 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 via the backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface), either directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105), or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links 120 may be or may include one or more wireless links.

[0059] 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 GigaNode B (any of which may be referred to as gNB), Home Node B, Home eNode B, or other suitable terminology by those skilled in the art.

[0060] 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, and a “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. 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 examples, 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 examples, which may be implemented in various items such as an appliance, a vehicle, a meter, among other examples.

[0061] 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 examples.

[0062] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may communicate wirelessly with each other via one or more communication links 125 on one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication link 125 may include a portion (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) of a radio frequency spectrum band operated according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling coordinating 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.

[0063] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition or control signaling to coordinate operation with other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be arranged according to a channel raster for discovery by the UE 115. A carrier may be operated in a standalone mode, where initial acquisition and connection may be made by the UE 115 over the carrier, or the carrier may be operated in a non-standalone mode, where connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or different radio access technology).

[0064] The communication links 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include uplink transmissions from the UE 115 to the base station 105 or downlink transmissions from the base station 105 to the UE 115. A carrier may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0065] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the carrier or the “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of several determined bandwidths for a particular radio access technology carrier (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). The devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., the base station 105, the UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communication on a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communication on one carrier bandwidth of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a base station 105 or a UE 115 that supports simultaneous communication via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate on a portion (e.g., a sub-band, BWP), or all, of the carrier bandwidth.

[0066] 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 an MCM technique, 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 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 received by the UE 115, 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 communications with the UE 115.

[0067] One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, where the numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time, and communication for the UE 115 may be limited to one or more active BWPs.

[0068] 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 fmay 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).

[0069] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, 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, each containing 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.

[0070] A subframe, slot, minislot, or symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0071] Physical channels may be multiplexed on carriers according to various techniques. Physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed on downlink carriers using, for example, one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth of the carrier or a subset of the system bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., 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 located in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., CCEs) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured to send control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for sending control information to a particular UE 115.

[0072] Each base station 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells, e.g., macro cells, small cells, hot spots, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof. The term “cell” may refer to a logical communication entity used for communication with the base station 105 (e.g., on a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or other) to distinguish neighboring cells. In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area 110 or a portion (e.g., a sector) of a geographic coverage area 110 in which the logical communication entity operates. Such a cell may range from a smaller area (e.g., a structure, a subset of a structure) to a larger area, depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the base station 105. For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or an outer space between or overlapping with the geographic coverage area 110, among other examples.

[0073] A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a few kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 115 that subscribe to service with the network provider that supports the macro cell. Small cells may be associated with lower-power base stations 105 compared to macro cells, and the small cells may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency bands as the macro cell. A small cell may provide unrestricted access to UEs 115 that subscribe to service with the network provider, or may provide restricted access to UEs 115 that have an association with the small cell (e.g., UEs 115 in a closed subscriber group (CSG), UEs 115 associated with users in a home or office). A base station 105 may support one or more cells and may also support communication on one or more cells using one or more component carriers.

[0074] In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access to different types of devices.

[0075] In some examples, the base stations 105 may be mobile and thus may provide communication coverage to moving geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, 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 examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include a heterogeneous network, 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.

[0076] 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 functionality (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 functionality 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.

[0077] In some examples, the UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol or a 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 in some cases be unable to receive transmissions from the base station 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 communicates to every other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, 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.

[0078] 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 the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entities may be connected to one or more network operators' IP services 150. The IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0079] Some of the network devices, such as the base stations 105, may include sub-components such as an access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with 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).

[0080] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). The 300 MHz to 3 GHz region is commonly referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because wavelengths range in length from approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter. Although UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, the waves can penetrate structures sufficiently for a macrocell to provide service to UEs 115 located indoors. Transmission of UHF waves may involve smaller antennas and shorter distances (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmissions using lower frequencies and longer waves in the short wave (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0081] 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 collision avoidance. In some examples, 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 examples.

[0082] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can 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 the UE 115 may be located in one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that can support MIMO operation 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 examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the base station 105 may be located in various geographic locations. The base station 105 may have an antenna array with several rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 can use to support beamforming of communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted through the antenna ports.

[0083] A base station 105 or a UE 115 may use MIMO communications to exploit multipath signal propagation and increase spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such techniques are sometimes referred to as spatial multiplexing. Multiple signals may be transmitted by a transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas, for example. Similarly, multiple signals may be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits related to the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), in which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0084] Beamforming, sometimes referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at 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 and receiving devices. 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 experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjusting signals communicated through antenna elements may include the transmitting or receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried through the 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).

[0085] The base station 105 or the UE 115 may use beam sweeping techniques as part of a beamforming operation. For example, the base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform a beamforming operation for directional communication with the UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted by the base station 105 multiple times in different directions. For example, the base station 105 may transmit signals according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different directions of transmission. The transmissions in different beam directions may be used (e.g., by a transmitting device such as the base station 105 or by a receiving device such as the UE 115) to identify a beam direction for later transmission or reception by the base station 105.

[0086] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by the base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with a receiving device such as the UE 115). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmission along the single beam direction may be determined based on signals transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, the UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals transmitted by the base station 105 in different directions and may report to the base station 105 an indication of the signal that the UE 115 received with the highest signal quality or possibly an acceptable signal quality.

[0087] In some examples, transmission by a device (e.g., by the base station 105 or the UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from the base station 105 to the UE 115). The UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, where the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. The base station 105 may transmit reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS)) that may or may not be precoded. The UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). These techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted by the base station 105 in one or more directions, although the UE 115 may employ similar techniques to transmit a signal multiple times in different directions (e.g., to identify a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE 115) or to transmit a signal in a single direction (e.g., to transmit data to a receiving device).

[0088] A receiving device (e.g., UE 115) may attempt multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals, such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals, from the base station 105. For example, the receiving device may attempt multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, or by processing received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which may be referred to as “listening” with different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, the receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned to a beam direction determined based on listening with different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or possibly acceptable signal quality based on listening with multiple beam directions).

[0089] The wireless communication system 100 may be a packet-based network operating according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. The Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate on logical channels. The Medium Access Control (MAC) layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels onto transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection, error correction, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer and improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer may establish, configure, and maintain RRC connections between the UE 115 and the base station 105 or core network 130, which support radio bearers for user plane data. In the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.

[0090] The UE 115 and the base station 105 may support retransmission of data to increase the likelihood that the data is successfully received. Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data is correctly received over the communication link 125. HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, in which the device may provide HARQ feedback in a particular slot for data received in a previous symbol in that slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot or according to some other time interval.

[0091] As described herein, the wireless communication system 100 may support communication in higher frequency bands, such as the mmW band. In some cases, these higher bands may be referred to as FR3 or FR4. To support communication in these higher frequency bands, OFDM waveforms with larger SCS may be used to reduce the effects of phase noise. Due to the larger SCS, the slot length or transmission time interval length may be shorter. However, processing timelines such as control channel processing, beam switching, and TDD direction changes may not scale with the shortened slot length.

[0092] Accordingly, techniques are described for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid at a UE 115 to account for SCS adjustments in higher frequency bands. In some aspects, the UE 115 and base station 105 of the wireless communication system 100 may support techniques for signaling the UE 115's capabilities to support processing modes for both single-slot and multi-slot scheduling intervals. In particular, the wireless communication system 100 may support signaling that enables the UE 115 to indicate whether it supports a first processing mode for single-slot scheduling, a second processing mode for multi-slot processing, or both. The base station 105 may then be configured to indicate to the UE 115 which processing mode should be used, and the UE 115 and base station 105 may communicate according to the indicated processing mode.

[0093] In single-slot processing mode, a single PDCCH may schedule PDSCH / PUSCH transmissions for a single slot. Conversely, in multi-slot processing mode, a single PDCCH may schedule PDSCH / PUSCH transmissions over a scheduling interval spanning multiple slots. Thus, multi-slot processing mode may consider the PDCCH processing timeline by reducing beam switching and reducing TDD direction changes.

[0094] For example, a UE 115 of the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to transmit a capability report to the base station 105, where the capability report indicates that the UE 115 can support a first processing mode associated with communications scheduled in a single transmission time interval (TTI) (e.g., single-slot scheduling), a second processing mode associated with communications scheduled in scheduling intervals spanning multiple TTIs (e.g., multi-slot scheduling), or both. In this example, upon receiving the capability report, the base station 105 may configure the UE 115 with communication configurations for the first processing mode (e.g., single-slot processing mode) and the second processing mode (e.g., multi-slot processing mode) based on the capability report. In this regard, the UE 115 may be configured with information that can be used to perform both the first processing mode and the second processing mode. Subsequently, the base station 105 may indicate to the UE 115 the processing mode to be applied and may communicate with the UE 115 using the selected processing mode (e.g., single-slot processing mode, multi-slot processing mode).

[0095] In some aspects, the term "scheduling interval" for multi-TTI scheduling may additionally or alternatively be referred to as a "nominal grid," where the nominal grid spans multiple TTIs for multi-TTI scheduling. For example, with multi-TTI scheduling, a single PDCCH may schedule PDSCH / PUSCH transmissions over a nominal grid spanning multiple slots.

[0096] In some aspects, the capability report transmitted by the UE 115 may include information regarding parameters associated with multi-slot scheduling at the UE 115. Information that may be signaled to the base station via the capability report may include the processing capability of the UE 115 as a function of the SCS, a defined (e.g., maximum) amount of CCEs and / or control channel candidates (e.g., PDCCH candidates) that may be blind decoded by the UE, a defined amount of monitoring opportunities for a scheduling interval including multiple slots, a search space periodicity for a scheduling interval including multiple slots, or any combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the capability report transmitted to the base station 105 may indicate that the UE 115 is configured to adjust hardware characteristics (e.g., RF characteristics, beam switching, baseband characteristics, transmit / receive time, transmit power) at the UE 115 between adjacent scheduling intervals.

[0097] The techniques described herein may provide improved scheduling of wireless communications for both single-TTI scheduling (e.g., single-slot scheduling) and multi-TTI scheduling (e.g., multi-slot scheduling). In particular, by enabling the UE 115 to inform the network (e.g., base station 105) of its ability to support single-slot and / or multi-slot processing modes, the techniques described herein may enable the network to communicate with the UE 115 using single-slot and / or multi-slot scheduling, depending on the characteristics of the network (e.g., amount of data traffic, noise) and the capabilities of the UE 115. Thus, the techniques described herein may enable more widespread use of multi-slot scheduling within the wireless communications system 100, which may relax processing limitations at the UE 115 and enable higher frequency wireless communications (e.g., FR3, FR4).

[0098] 2 illustrates an example of a communication configuration 200 that supports techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the communication configuration 200 may implement or be implemented by the wireless communication system 100.

[0099] In some aspects, the communication configuration 200 illustrates a relationship between a slot length and an SCS for wireless communication. In particular, the communication configuration 200 illustrates an inverse relationship between an SCS and a slot length and the impact on a processing timeline at the UE 115.

[0100] As previously described herein, some wireless communication systems support wireless communication in higher frequency bands, such as FR3 and FR4 (e.g., 52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz). These higher frequency bands may require OFDM waveforms with large SCSs (e.g., 240 kHz to 1.92 MHz) to help reduce the effects of phase noise. Due to the larger SCSs at higher frequencies, slot lengths may be shorter.

[0101] For example, FIG. 2 illustrates slot 205-a and slot 205-b. In some cases, slot 205-a may comprise an example of a slot associated with FR2. For example, slot 205-a may be associated with a 120 kHz SCS and a 125 μs slot length. In comparison, slot 205-b may comprise an example of a slot associated with FR4. To help reduce the effects of phase noise in the higher frequency bands of FR4 compared to FR2, slot 205-b associated with FR4 may be associated with a larger SCS. In particular, slot 205-b may be associated with a 960 kHz SCS and a 15.6 μs slot length.

[0102] Thus, increasing the SCS from FR2 to FR4 may reduce the slot length by a factor of eight (e.g., the length of slot 205-a is eight times the length of slot 205-a). To perform wireless communications with the shorter slot 205 length, processing delays or timelines at the wireless device (e.g., UE, base station) may need to be reduced. For example, the PDCCH processing time at the UE 115 may need to be significantly shorter for slot 205-b compared to slot 205-a due to the shortened slot length. Additionally, shorter slot lengths at higher frequency bands may require more frequent (and faster) TDD direction switching and / or beam switching.

[0103] However, due to implementation complexity, the processing timeline (e.g., PDCCH processing, data processing) at the UE 115 may not scale proportionally to the shortened slot length at higher frequencies. This may be illustrated with reference to slot 205-c shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, slot 205-c may include a control resource set (CORESET 210) spanning the first three symbols of slot 205-c. In higher frequency ranges (e.g., FR4), due to the shortened length of slot 205-c, the processing interval 215 (e.g., PDCCH processing interval 215) may be longer than CORESET 210. In this regard, in higher frequency ranges, the UE 115 may process control channels (e.g., PDCCH) in CORESET 210 for the processing interval 215 before it can take action in response to the control channels in CORESET 210. Effectively, a longer processing interval 215 relative to the length of slot 205-c reduces the percentage of the slot that can be used for control channel transmission.

[0104] Furthermore, the UE 115 may not be able to perform a microsleep procedure during the microsleep time interval 220-a until the end of the processing interval 215. For example, if the UE 115 performs single-slot processing for a single-slot scheduling interval, the UE 115 may monitor the CORESET 210 in every slot. In this example, by monitoring the CORESET 210 in every slot, the UE 115 may also perform control channel processing throughout the processing interval 215 of every slot, leaving only the microsleep time interval 220-a of each slot to perform a microsleep procedure. Thus, an increase in the length of the processing interval 215 relative to the length of the slots 205-c in higher frequency bands may reduce the amount of time in each slot 205-c that the UE 115 may perform a microsleep procedure, thereby reducing the power savings benefit of the microsleep procedure compared to a microsleep procedure in a lower frequency range (e.g., FR1, FR2).

[0105] Accordingly, techniques are disclosed for signaling a UE 115's capability to support processing modes for both single-slot and multi-slot scheduling intervals. In particular, the techniques may enable the UE 115 to indicate whether it supports a first processing mode for single-slot scheduling, a second processing mode for multi-slot scheduling, or both. The base station may then be configured to indicate to the UE which processing mode should be used. By indicating various capabilities and / or parameters associated with multi-slot processing modes at the UE 115 to the base station, the techniques described herein may enable improved scheduling of wireless communications at the UE for both single-slot and multi-slot processing modes.

[0106] Furthermore, by enabling the UE 115 to be configured for multi-slot processing, the techniques described herein may enable the UE 115 to refrain from performing control channel processing in all slots, thereby increasing the duration for microsleep procedures and reducing power consumption at the UE 115. For example, with reference to slot 205-c, the techniques described herein may enable the UE 115 to indicate that it supports a processing mode of multi-slot scheduling, thereby enabling the network to schedule communications at the UE 115 according to multi-slot scheduling. In multi-slot scheduling, communications may be scheduled in a scheduling interval that spans multiple slots. Thus, while communicating according to multi-slot scheduling, the UE 115 may refrain from performing control channel processing during a processing interval 215 for each slot within the scheduling interval (e.g., the processing interval 215 may not apply to slot 205-c of the scheduling interval in which the UE 115 does not perform control channel processing). In this regard, multi-slot scheduling may enable the UE 115 to perform a microsleep procedure during the microsleep time interval 220-b of each slot 205-c during which the UE 115-c does not perform control channel processing. Thus, multi-slot processing may improve the duration of microsleep in the UE 115, which may reduce power consumption and improve battery performance in the UE 115.

[0107] 3 illustrates an example of a communications configuration 300 that supports techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the communications configuration 300 may implement or be implemented by the wireless communications system 100, the communications configuration 200, or both.

[0108] As described with reference to Figure 2, increasing the SCS may result in a shorter slot length, which may result in the processing complexities described in Figure 2. Additionally, a shorter slot length may also result in complexities in the context of beam switching and TDD direction switching. Particularly at higher frequencies (e.g., FR4), due to the shorter slot length, the time duration for beam switching may be comparable to or longer than the slot length.

[0109] For example, the communication configuration 300 shown in FIG. 3 illustrates a resource allocation scheme 305-a. The resource allocation scheme 305-a may include an example of a resource allocation scheme associated with FR2 with a 120 kHz SCS. The resource allocation scheme 305-a may include a set of symbols 310 (e.g., OFDM symbols). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the resource allocation scheme 305-a includes a first symbol 310-a, a second symbol 310-b, a third symbol 310-c, and a fourth symbol 310-d. In some aspects, each symbol 310 may include a cyclic prefix 315. In the context of FR2 communication, the duration of each cyclic prefix 315 in the time domain may be approximately 584 ns.

[0110] With continued reference to resource allocation scheme 305-a, UE 115 may be configured to communicate according to a first beam (e.g., a downlink beam) during time interval 320-a and a second beam (e.g., an uplink beam) during time interval 320-b. In this regard, UE 115 may be configured to perform a beam switching procedure following time interval 320-a to switch from the first beam to the second beam. In some other cases, UE 115 may perform a TDD link direction change from downlink to uplink, from uplink to downlink, or both. Beam switching procedures and TDD link direction changes may involve readjustment of RF components and other communication circuitry and may result in a beam switching delay 325-a or a TDD direction change delay. Beam switching delay 325-a at UE 115 may be in the range of hundreds of nanoseconds. Thus, in the context of FR2 communication illustrated in resource allocation scheme 305-a, the duration of beam switching delay 325-a may be less than the length of the cyclic prefix (e.g., the duration of beam switching delay 325-a may be less than 584 ns). In this regard, beam switching delay 325-a in FR2 communication may be associated with a relatively small interruption in wireless communication (e.g., a relatively small retuning overhead).

[0111] In comparison, the resource allocation scheme 305-b shown in FIG. 3 may include an example of a resource allocation scheme associated with FR4 communication using a 960 kHz SCS. In this regard, the resource allocation scheme 305-b may exhibit a higher frequency range compared to the resource allocation scheme 305-a. The resource allocation scheme 305-b may include a set of symbols 310 (e.g., OFDM symbols). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the resource allocation scheme 305-b includes a first symbol 310-e, a second symbol 310-f, a third symbol 310-g, and a fourth symbol 310-h. Due to the higher frequency range and larger SCS of resource allocation scheme 305-b, the symbols 310-e, 310-f, 310-g, and 310-h of resource allocation scheme 305-b may be shorter than the symbols 310-e, 310-f, 310-g, and 310-h of resource allocation scheme 305-b. For example, each symbol 310 of resource allocation scheme 305-b may be eight times shorter than each symbol of resource allocation scheme 305-a. Thus, it should be noted that resource allocation schemes 305-a and 305-b are not necessarily shown to scale with respect to each other herein.

[0112] In some aspects, each symbol 310 of resource allocation scheme 305-b may include a cyclic prefix 315. In the context of FR4 communications, the duration of each cyclic prefix 315 in the time domain may be approximately 73 ns. Thus, each cyclic prefix 315 of resource allocation scheme 305-b may be eight times shorter than each cyclic prefix 315 of resource allocation scheme 305-a (e.g., 73 ns compared to 584 ns).

[0113] With continued reference to resource allocation scheme 305-b, UE 115 may be configured to communicate according to a first beam (e.g., a downlink beam) during time interval 320-c and according to a second beam (e.g., an uplink beam) during time interval 320-d. In this regard, UE 115 may be configured to perform a beam switching procedure following time interval 320-c to switch from the first beam to the second beam. In some other cases, UE 115 may perform a TDD link direction change from downlink to uplink, from uplink to downlink, or both.

[0114] As previously described herein, beam switching procedures and TDD link direction changes may involve readjustments of RF components and other communication circuitry, resulting in a beam switching delay 325-b or a TDD direction change delay, respectively. In some cases, the beam switching delay 325-b may be on the order of hundreds of nanoseconds. Thus, in the context of FR4 communication illustrated in resource allocation scheme 305-b, the duration of the beam switching delay 325-b may exceed the length of the cyclic prefix 315 of resource allocation scheme 305-b (e.g., the duration of the beam switching delay 325-a may be greater than 73 ns). In some cases, as shown in FIG. 3, an additional beam switching gap of an integer number of OFDM symbols 310 may be required for the beam switching procedure. Furthermore, in some cases, at higher frequencies (e.g., FR4), the duration of the beam switching delay 325-b may be comparable to or longer than the duration of a symbol 310. For example, as shown in resource allocation scheme 305-b, the duration of beam switching delay 325-b may be comparable to the duration of symbol 310-g.

[0115] Comparing resource allocation schemes 305-a and 305-b, the beam switching delay 325-b in FR4 communication shown in resource allocation scheme 305-b may be significantly longer relative to the length of a symbol 310 in resource allocation scheme 305-b compared to the beam switching delay 325-a in FR2 communication as shown in resource allocation scheme 305-a. In this regard, the beam switching delay 325-b and / or TDD link direction change in FR4 communication may be associated with a relatively larger interruption in wireless communication (e.g., a relatively larger retuning overhead) compared to the beam switching delay 325-a and TDD link direction change delay in FR2 communication. In particular, for FR2 communication, a TDD link direction change (e.g., a TDD link direction change from uplink to downlink or downlink to uplink) may be accomplished within two symbols 310. By comparison, for FR4 communication, a TDD link direction change may occur over a larger number of symbols 310.

[0116] When the UE 115 is configured to operate in a single-slot processing mode (e.g., single-slot scheduling), the UE 115 may be configured to perform frequent beam switching procedures and / or frequent TDD link direction changes. For example, a UE 115 operating according to a single-slot processing mode may perform a beam switching procedure between each slot. These frequent beam switches may not significantly interrupt wireless communications in the context of FR2 communications, as indicated by the relatively short beam switching delay 325-a shown in resource allocation scheme 305-a. However, in the context of FR4 communications, performing frequent beam switching procedures (e.g., during single-slot processing mode) may result in significant interruptions in wireless communications, as indicated by the relatively long beam switching delay 325-b shown in resource allocation scheme 305-b.

[0117] Accordingly, techniques are disclosed for signaling a UE 115's capability to support processing modes for both single-slot and multi-slot scheduling intervals. In particular, the techniques may enable the UE 115 to indicate whether it supports a first processing mode for single-slot scheduling, a second processing mode for multi-slot scheduling, or both. The base station 105 may then be configured to indicate to the UE 115 which processing mode should be used. By indicating to the base station 105 various capabilities and / or parameters associated with multi-slot processing modes at the UE 115, the techniques described herein may enable improved scheduling of wireless communications at the UE 115 for both single-slot and multi-slot processing modes.

[0118] Furthermore, by allowing the UE 115 to be configured for multi-slot processing, the techniques described herein may help reduce the frequency or amount of beam switching procedures and / or TDD link direction changes performed by the UE 115. For example, compared to a single-slot processing mode in which a beam switching procedure may be performed between each slot, a multi-slot processing mode may enable the UE 115 to perform a beam switching procedure between scheduling intervals spanning multiple slots, thereby reducing the frequency of the beam switching procedures. In this regard, by allowing the UE 115 to communicate an ability to support single-slot and multi-slot processing modes and to be configured with both single-slot and multi-slot processing modes, the techniques described herein may reduce the frequency of beam switching procedures by configuring the UE 115 for multi-slot scheduling, thereby reducing the amount and / or frequency of the beam switching delay 325. Such a reduction in the amount and / or frequency of the beam switching delay 325 may reduce interruptions in wireless communications, particularly in the context of higher frequency ranges, as shown in resource allocation scheme 305-b.

[0119] 4 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system 400 that supports techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the wireless communication system 400 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100, the communication configuration 200, the communication configuration 300, or any combination thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 400 may support signaling that enables the UE 115 to indicate an ability to support single-slot processing, multi-slot processing, or both.

[0120] The wireless communication system 400 may include a base station 105-a and a UE 115-a, which may be examples of the base station 105 and the UE 115 described with reference to FIGS. 1-3. The UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using a communication link 405, which may be an example of an NR or LTE link between the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a. In some cases, the communication link 405 between the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a may include an example of an access link (e.g., a Uu link), which may include a bidirectional link enabling both uplink and downlink communication. For example, the UE 115-a may transmit uplink signals, such as uplink control signals or uplink data signals, to the base station 105-a using the communication link 405, and the base station 105-a may transmit downlink signals, such as downlink control signals or downlink data signals, to the UE 115-a using the communication link 405.

[0121] In some aspects, the wireless communications system 400 may support signaling that enables the UE 115-a to indicate whether it supports a processing mode for single-slot scheduling, multi-slot scheduling, or both. In particular, the wireless communications system 400 may support signaling that enables the UE 115-a to indicate whether it supports a first processing mode for single-slot scheduling, a second processing mode for multi-slot processing, or both. The base station 105 may then be configured to indicate to the UE 115 which processing mode should be used, thereby enabling the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a to communicate according to the indicated processing mode. By enabling the UE 115-a to indicate to the base station 105-a various capabilities and / or parameters associated with the single-slot and / or multi-slot processing modes supported by the UE 115-a, the techniques described herein may enable improved scheduling of wireless communications at the UE 115-a for both the single-slot and multi-slot processing modes.

[0122] For example, the UE 115-a may send an indication of UE capabilities to the base station 105-a (e.g., capability report 410). In some aspects, the capability report 410 may indicate the UE 115-a's ability to support a first processing mode 420-a for single-TTI scheduling, a second processing mode 420-b for multi-TTI scheduling, or both.

[0123] In the context of a first processing mode 420-a for single-TTI scheduling, a single control message (e.g., PDCCH transmission 425) received by the UE 115-a may schedule a transmission for a single TTI (e.g., PDSCH transmission 430 or PUSCH transmission 435). In comparison, in the context of a second processing mode 420-b for multi-TTI scheduling, a single control message (e.g., PDCCH transmission 425) received by the UE 115-a may schedule transmissions (e.g., PDSCH transmission 430, PUSCH transmission 435) within (e.g., across) multiple TTIs of a scheduling interval (e.g., a nominal grid) for multi-TTI scheduling. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 illustrating a second processing mode 420-b for multi-TTI scheduling, a single control message (e.g., PDCCH transmission 425) may schedule a first PDSCH transmission 430 in a first TTI of a scheduling interval (e.g., the first TTI of a nominal grid), a second PDSCH transmission 430 in a second TTI of the scheduling interval (e.g., the second TTI of a nominal grid), a third PDSCH transmission 430 in a third TTI of the scheduling interval (e.g., the third TTI of a nominal grid), or any combination thereof. As another example, a single control message (e.g., PDCCH transmission 425) may schedule a first PUSCH transmission 435 in a first TTI of a scheduling interval (e.g., the first TTI of a nominal grid), a second PUSCH transmission 435 in a second TTI of a scheduling interval (e.g., the second TTI of a nominal grid), a third PUSCH transmission 435 in a third TTI of a scheduling interval (e.g., the third TTI of a nominal grid), or any combination thereof. In the context of single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a TTI may include any time interval, including, but not limited to, a slot, a subframe, a symbol group, or any combination thereof.

[0124] In some aspects, the capability report 410 may indicate one or more parameters (e.g., configuration parameter values) associated with the capabilities of the UE 115-a, one or more parameters associated with single-TTI and / or multi-TTI scheduling supported by the UE 115-a, or any combination thereof. The configuration parameters that may be indicated in the capability report 410 may include, but are not limited to, the processing capability of the UE 115-a, the amount of CCEs and / or control channel candidates (e.g., PDCCH candidates) for blind decoding for multi-TTI scheduling, the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities for multi-TTI scheduling, the search space set periodicity for multi-TTI scheduling, the time interval (e.g., processing interval) for multi-TTI scheduling, the beam switching capability, the beam switching delay, or any combination thereof.

[0125] For example, as previously described herein, as the frequency of wireless communications increases, the SCS associated with the wireless communications may also increase. Furthermore, as the SCS increases, the slot length of the wireless communications decreases, resulting in complexity in the context of the processing capabilities of the UE 115. In this regard, the processing capabilities of the UE 115-a may be characterized or defined as a function of the SCS. Thus, in this example, the capability report 410 may include an indication of the processing capabilities of the UE 115-a associated with one or more SCSs. For example, the capability report 410 may indicate a first processing capability associated with a first SCS and a second processing capability associated with a second SCS, where the second processing capability is different from the first processing capability. The processing capabilities may be reported using any metric or unit known in the art, including, but not limited to, MHz, GHz, clock speed, etc.

[0126] In some examples, the capability report 410 may include an indication of a defined (e.g., maximum) amount of CCEs and PDCCH candidates for blind decoding for single-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling, or both. In the context of single-TTI scheduling, the amount of CCEs and PDCCH candidates for blind decoding may be defined per TTI (e.g., defined per slot, per subframe, etc.). In the context of multi-TTI scheduling, the amount of CCEs and PDCCH candidates for blind decoding may be defined per scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling. For example, the capability report 410 may indicate the maximum number of CCEs and PDCCH candidates that the UE 115-a is capable of blind decode per scheduling interval. In some aspects, the amount of CCEs for blind decoding may be reported as a function of the amount of TTIs per scheduling interval. For example, the capability report 410 may indicate that the UE 115-a can blind decode a greater amount of CCE and PDCCH candidates for a longer scheduling interval (e.g., a scheduling interval spanning a greater amount of TTIs), and may indicate that the UE 115 can blind decode a lesser amount of CCE and PDCCH candidates for a shorter scheduling interval (e.g., a scheduling interval spanning a smaller amount of TTIs).

[0127] As another example, the capability report 410 may include an indication of the amount of monitoring opportunities (e.g., control channel monitoring opportunities) for single-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling, or both. In the context of single-TTI scheduling, the amount of monitoring opportunities may be defined per TTI or amount of TTIs (e.g., monitoring opportunities per subslot, monitoring opportunities per slot, monitoring opportunities per multiple slots, monitoring opportunities per subframe, monitoring opportunities per multiple subframes, etc.). For example, the capability report 410 may indicate a first amount of control channel monitoring opportunities per slot and a second amount of control channel monitoring opportunities per subframe. In the context of multi-TTI scheduling, the amount of monitoring opportunities (e.g., control channel monitoring opportunities) may be defined per scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling. For example, the capability report 410 may indicate a maximum amount of control channel monitoring opportunities that the UE 115-a can monitor per scheduling interval (e.g., the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities within a scheduling interval). As discussed previously herein with respect to the quantity of CCE and PDCCH candidates for blind decoding, the quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities supported by UE 115-a may be reported as a function of the quantity of TTIs per scheduling interval. In particular, UE 115-a may indicate that it supports a greater quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities for longer scheduling intervals and a lesser quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities for shorter scheduling intervals.

[0128] In some examples, the capability report 410 may indicate a defined search space set periodicity (e.g., a minimum search space set periodicity) for single-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling, or both. In the context of single-TTI scheduling, the search space set periodicity may be defined per TTI (e.g., a minimum search space set periodicity of one slot, a minimum search space set periodicity of one subframe, etc.). In the context of multi-TTI scheduling, the search space set periodicity may be defined per scheduling interval, a set of scheduling intervals, or both (e.g., a minimum search space set periodicity of a scheduling interval, a minimum search space set periodicity of a set of scheduling intervals, etc.). In some aspects, the search space set periodicity may be reported as a function of the length of the scheduling interval. For example, the capability report 410 may indicate a first search space set periodicity associated with a first scheduling interval of a first length and a second search space set periodicity associated with a second scheduling interval of a second length.

[0129] In some aspects, the capability report 410 may indicate a time interval that defines a processing duration between when the UE 115-a receives a message (e.g., a grant, a resource allocation) from the base station 105-a and when it is able to act on the message. For example, the capability report 410 may indicate a time interval between a first time that the UE 115-a receives a grant and a second time that the UE 115-a is able to act on the grant.

[0130] In some aspects, the time interval may be indicated via a K1 value, a K2 value, a K3 value, or any combination thereof, where each of the K values ​​defines a timing (e.g., a time interval) for a transmission performed at the UE 115-a. For example, the capability report 410 may include an indication of a K0 value associated with a PDSCH transmission, where the K0 value defines the time interval between the reception of a transmission scheduling the PDSCH transmission and the reception of the PDSCH transmission. As another example, the capability report 410 may include a K1 value for a HARQ feedback message (e.g., an acknowledgment (ACK), a negative acknowledgment (NACK)), where the K1 value defines the time interval between the reception of the message and the transmission of the HARQ feedback in response to the received message. Similarly, the capability report 410 may include a K2 value for a PUSCH transmission, where the K2 value defines the time interval between the reception of a transmission scheduling the PUSCH transmission and the transmission of the PUSCH transmission. In this regard, the capability report 410 may indicate one or more scheduling offsets for scheduled transmissions at the UE 115-a.

[0131] Additionally or alternatively, the capability report 410 may indicate configuration parameters or capabilities associated with beam switching procedures performed at the UE 115-a. For example, the capability report 410 may indicate one or more beam switching delays associated with one or more beam switching procedures (e.g., from an uplink beam to a downlink beam, from a downlink beam to an uplink beam, from beam ID1 to beam ID2, or from beam ID1 to beam ID3) performed by the UE 115-a. As another example, the capability report 410 may indicate the capability of the UE 115-a to perform beam switching procedures between adjacent TTIs (e.g., between adjacent slots), between adjacent scheduling intervals, or both. For example, in the context of multi-TTI scheduling, the UE 115-a may indicate the capability to perform one or more beam switching procedures between a first scheduling interval including a first set of TTIs and a second adjacent scheduling interval including a second subset of TTIs. In some cases, the capability to perform beam switching capabilities may be reported as a function of the size (e.g., length, amount of TTIs) of the scheduling interval.

[0132] Additional configuration parameters that may be indicated via the capability report 410 may include a unit of PDSCH / PUSCH scheduling, a repetition configuration for transmission / reception of signals associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a frequency hopping configuration for transmission / reception of signals associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) table associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a set of resources (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, PUSCH resources, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources, PDSCH resources, PDCCH resources) associated with transmissions scheduled via single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the capability report 410 may include an indication of a configuration for PUSCH repetition type B transmissions associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling (e.g., split point for PUSCH repetition type B), or any combination thereof.

[0133] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive from the base station 105-a a first configuration 415-a of a first processing mode 420-a for the UE 115-a associated with communication scheduled for a single TTI (e.g., a configuration for single-TTI scheduling). The first configuration 415-a may be indicated via an RRC message, a MAC-CE message, a downlink control information (DCI) message, a system information message, or any combination thereof. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive the first configuration 415-a based on transmitting a capability report 410.

[0134] The first configuration 415-a of the first processing mode 420-a may indicate one or more parameters or characteristics for single-TTI scheduling of wireless communications in the UE 115-a. In particular, the first configuration 415-a may include one or more configuration parameter values ​​for single-TTI scheduling indicated in the capability report 410, including, but not limited to, a processing capability associated with one or more SCSs for single-TTI scheduling, an amount of CCE and PDCCH candidates for blind decoding for single-TTI scheduling, an amount of control channel monitoring opportunities within a TTI or set of TTIs for single-TTI scheduling, a search space periodicity associated with a TTI or set of TTIs for single-TTI scheduling, a time interval for acting on a grant or other transmission for single-TTI scheduling, an ability to perform beam switching between adjacent TTIs for single-TTI scheduling, a beam switching delay for single-TTI scheduling, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the capability report 410 may indicate the ability of the UE 115-a to switch between the first processing mode 420-a and the second processing mode 420-b, a delay time for switching between the respective processing modes, etc. Similarly, in some examples, the capability report 410 may indicate the capability of the UE 115-a to selectively modify one or more parameters associated with the first processing mode 420-a and / or the second processing mode 420-b, or both.

[0135] Similarly, the UE 115-a may receive from the base station 105-a a second configuration 415-b (e.g., a configuration for multi-TTI scheduling) of a second processing mode 420-b for the UE 115-a associated with communications scheduled in a scheduling interval (e.g., a nominal grid) spanning a set of TTIs. The second configuration 415-b may be indicated via an RRC message, a MAC-CE message, a DCI message, a system information message, or any combination thereof. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive the second configuration 415-b based on transmitting the capability report 410, receiving the first configuration 415-a, or both. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-a may receive the first configuration 415-a for the first processing mode 420-a and the second configuration 415-b for the second processing mode 420-b in a single transmission (e.g., an RRC message, a MAC-CE message, a DCI message, a system information message).

[0136] The second configuration 415-b of the second processing mode 420-b may indicate one or more parameters or characteristics for multi-TTI scheduling of wireless communications at the UE 115-a. In particular, the first configuration 415-a may include one or more configuration parameter values ​​for multi-TTI scheduling indicated in the capability report 410, including, but not limited to, a type of TTI associated with the scheduling interval (e.g., slot, subframe, symbol group), a length of the scheduling interval (e.g., amount of TTIs per scheduling interval), a processing capability associated with one or more SCSs for multi-TTI scheduling, an amount of CCE and PDCCH candidates for blind decoding within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, an amount of control channel monitoring opportunities within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, a search space periodicity associated with a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, a time interval for acting on a grant or other transmission for multi-TTI scheduling, an ability to perform beam switching between adjacent scheduling intervals for multi-TTI scheduling, a beam switching delay for multi-TTI scheduling, or any combination thereof.

[0137] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive the first configuration 415-a, the second configuration 415-b, or both based on (e.g., in accordance with) parameters or characteristics indicated via the capability report 410. For example, if the capability report 410 indicates processing capabilities of the UE 115-a associated with one or more SCSs, the UE 115-a may receive the first configuration 415-a and / or the second configuration 415-b based on the indication of the processing capabilities. For example, the second configuration 415-b may include an indication of the SCS, the TTI length (e.g., slot length), or both based on the indication of the processing capabilities indicated in the capability report 410.

[0138] As another example, if the capability report 410 indicates a quantity of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding within a scheduling interval, a quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities within the scheduling interval, or both, the UE 115-a may receive a first configuration 415-a and / or a second configuration 415-b based on the quantity of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding, the quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities, or both. For example, the second configuration 415-b may configure the UE 115-a to monitor a first quantity of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates within a scheduling interval based on (e.g., in accordance with) an indication of the quantity of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding. Similarly, the second configuration 415-b may configure the UE 115-a to monitor a first quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities within a scheduling interval based on (e.g., in accordance with) an indication of the quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities.

[0139] As another example, if the capability report 410 indicates a search space set periodicity associated with a scheduling interval, the second configuration 415-b may configure the UE 115-a to monitor the first search space set periodicity corresponding to the scheduling interval based on (e.g., in accordance with) the indication of the search space set periodicity associated with the scheduling interval.

[0140] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive an indication 440 to apply the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b from the base station 105-a. In some aspects, the indication 440 may be received via control signaling, including RRC signaling, a MAC-CE message, a DCI message, a system information message, or any combination thereof. For example, the indication 440 to apply the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b may be indicated via one or more bit field values ​​in a DCI message. In some aspects, the first UE 115-a may receive the indication 440 to apply the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b based on transmitting a capability report 410, receiving a first configuration 415-a, receiving a second configuration 415-b, or any combination thereof.

[0141] Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-a may receive an indication 440 to apply the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b based on (e.g., in response to) a request by the UE 115-a to be configured in the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b. For example, in some cases, the UE 115-a may transmit a request to be configured for communications scheduled according to the first configuration 415-a or the second configuration 415-b (e.g., a request for single-TTI scheduling or multi-TTI scheduling). The UE 115-a may transmit a request for the indicated processing mode based on identified characteristics (e.g., power consumption, battery level) at the UE 115-a, based on identified characteristics (e.g., traffic, noise) of the wireless communications system, or based on any combination thereof. In this example, the base station 105-a may transmit the indication 440 of the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b in accordance with the request.

[0142] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may determine a set of configuration parameter values ​​associated with the first processing mode 420-a, the second processing mode 420-b, or both. For example, the UE 115-a may determine a first set of configuration parameter values ​​associated with the first processing mode 420-a, a second set of configuration parameter values ​​associated with the second processing mode 420-b, or both. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may determine the configuration parameter values ​​based on transmitting a capability report 410, receiving a first configuration 415-a, receiving a second configuration 415-b, receiving an indication 440 of the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b, or any combination thereof.

[0143] The configuration parameter values ​​for each processing mode 420 may include any configuration parameter value associated with the respective processing mode, including, but not limited to, the amount of TTIs within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, the indicated SCS, the TTI length, the time interval between the time of receipt of the grant and the time when the UE 115-a may act on the grant, the processing capability of the UE 115-a, the amount of CCE and PDCCH candidates for blind decoding, the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities, the search space set periodicity, the beam switching capability, or any combination thereof.

[0144] In some aspects, a first configuration 415-a for a first processing mode 420-a (e.g., a first configuration 415-a for single-TTI scheduling) may include the same or different configuration parameter values ​​compared to a second configuration 415-b for a second processing mode 420-b (e.g., a second configuration 415-b for multi-TTI scheduling). For example, the first configuration 415-a may be associated with a first set of configuration parameter values, and the second configuration 415-b may be associated with a second set of configuration parameter values. In some cases, at least one configuration parameter value of the second set of configuration parameter values ​​may differ from the first set of configuration parameter values, or vice versa. In additional or alternative cases, at least one configuration parameter value may be shared across the first and second sets of configuration parameter values. For example, the UE 115-a may receive different one or more configuration parameter values ​​for the first processing mode 420-a and the second processing mode 420-b (e.g., via the first configuration 415-a and / or the second configuration 415-b), where the different one or more configuration parameter values ​​include a search space set periodicity, a TDRA table, a PUCCH resource, or a combination thereof.

[0145] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may determine a set of hardware characteristics for communicating with the base station 105-a. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may determine the set of hardware characteristics based on transmitting a capability report 410, receiving a first configuration 415-a, receiving a second configuration 415-b, receiving an indication 440 of a first processing mode 420-a or a second processing mode 420-b, determining a set of configuration parameter values, or any combination thereof.

[0146] The set of hardware characteristics may include hardware characteristics associated with the antenna array of the UE 115-a (e.g., RF component characteristics, phase shift characteristics, low noise amplifier (LNA) characteristics), characteristics associated with the baseband components of the UE 115-a, characteristics associated with bandwidth portions at the UE 115-a (e.g., bandwidth portion adjustment parameters, center frequency adjustment parameters, bandwidth portion switching parameters), characteristics associated with transmit timing parameters at the UE 115-a, characteristics associated with receive timing parameters at the UE 115-a, characteristics associated with transmit power metrics for transmissions performed by the UE 115-a (e.g., phase-locked loop (PLL) parameters, power amplifier gain), characteristics associated with discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles at the UE 115-a (e.g., characteristics associated with power-up / power-down of hardware blocks), characteristics associated with MAC-CE application timing, or any combination thereof.

[0147] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a based on (e.g., in accordance with) the processing mode indicated by the indication 440. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a in accordance with the indicated processing mode based on sending a capability report 410, receiving a first configuration 415-a, receiving a second configuration 415-b, receiving an indication 440 of a first processing mode 420-a or a second processing mode 420-b, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​for the respective processing mode 420, determining a set of hardware characteristics, or any combination thereof.

[0148] For example, if the indication 440 indicates a first processing mode 420-a, the UE 115 may communicate with the base station 105-a according to the first processing mode 420-a. In this example, the base station 105-a may schedule transmissions (e.g., PDSCH transmission 430, PUSCH transmission 435) between the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a according to a single-TTI scheduling configuration in which communication is scheduled for a single TTI. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, according to the first processing mode 420-a, the UE 115-a may receive a PDCCH transmission 425 within a TTI (e.g., a slot), which schedules the PDSCH transmission 430 or the PUSCH transmission 435 within the TTI.

[0149] Conversely, as another example, if the indication 440 indicates a second processing mode 420-b, the UE 115 may communicate with the base station 105-a according to the second processing mode 420-b. In this example, the base station 105-a may schedule transmissions between the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a according to a multi-TTI scheduling configuration in which communications are scheduled in a scheduling interval spanning a set of TTIs (e.g., a scheduling interval spanning a set of slots). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, according to the second processing mode 420-b, the UE 115-a may receive a PDCCH transmission 425 in a first TTI (e.g., a first slot) of the scheduling interval, which schedules a PDSCH transmission 430 (or a PUSCH transmission 435) within the first TTI of the scheduling interval, within a subsequent TTI of the scheduling interval, or both.

[0150] Communication between UE 115-a and base station 105-a may be performed based on (e.g., in accordance with) parameters (e.g., configuration parameter values) associated with the indicated processing mode 420, including, but not limited to, the amount of TTIs within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, the indicated SCS, the TTI length, the time interval between the time of receipt of the grant and the time when UE 115-a may act in accordance with the grant, the processing capability of UE 115-a, the amount of CCEs for blind decoding, the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities, search space set periodicity, beam switching capability, or any combination thereof.

[0151] In some examples, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using one or more beams during one or more scheduling intervals according to the processing mode 420 indicated via the indication 440. For example, based on receiving the indication 440 indicating the processing mode 420, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using a first beam during a first scheduling interval.

[0152] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive a downlink transmission (e.g., a PDCCH transmission 425) from the base station 105-a. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive the PDCCH transmission 425 during a first TTI of a set of TTIs of a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling. In some examples, the PDCCH transmission 425 may schedule a transmission (e.g., a PDSCH transmission 430, a PUSCH transmission 435) to be performed at the UE 115-a. For example, the PDCCH transmission 425 may schedule an uplink transmission transmitted from the UE 115-a to the base station 105-a, a downlink transmission transmitted from the base station 105-a to the UE 115-a, or both.

[0153] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may receive the PDCCH transmission 425 based on sending a capability report 410, receiving a first configuration 415-a, receiving a second configuration 415-b, receiving an indication 440 of a first processing mode 420-a or a second processing mode 420-b, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​for the respective processing mode 420, determining a set of hardware characteristics, communicating with the base station 105-a according to the indicated processing mode 420, or any combination thereof.

[0154] For example, in some cases, the capability report 410 may include an indication of a time interval (e.g., a processing time interval) between a first time that the UE 115-a receives a grant and a second time that the UE 115-a is able to act on the grant. In this example, the UE 115-a may receive a PDCCH transmission 425 that schedules an uplink transmission and / or a downlink transmission based on the indication of the scheduling interval in the capability report 410. In some cases, the PDCCH transmission 425 may be transmitted / received in a first TTI of the scheduling interval, and the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission 425 may be scheduled within one or more TTIs after the first TTI within the scheduling interval. For example, the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission 425 may be scheduled based on (e.g., according to) the indicated time interval such that the UE 115-a is able to receive the PDCCH transmission 425, process the PDCCH transmission 425, and perform the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission 425. In this regard, the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission 425 may be scheduled at a time after the indicated time interval length following receipt of the PDCCH transmission 425 .

[0155] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may perform a transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission 425. For example, if the PDCCH transmission 425 schedules an uplink transmission from the UE 115-a to the base station 105-a, the UE 115-a may transmit an uplink transmission to the base station 105-a. As another example, if the PDCCH transmission 425 schedules a downlink transmission from the base station 105-a to the UE 115-a, the UE 115-a may receive a downlink transmission from the base station 105-a.

[0156] As previously described herein, the UE 115-a may perform the communication scheduled by the PDCCH transmission 425 based on the time interval for processing the resource grant / allocation indicated in the capability report 410. In particular, the UE 115-a may perform the communication scheduled by the PDCCH transmission 425 some time after the end of the time interval that begins upon receipt of the PDCCH transmission 425 that schedules the communication.

[0157] In some examples, the UE 115-a may selectively modify one or more hardware characteristics used to communicate with the base station 105-a. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may modify one or more hardware characteristics at TTI boundaries (e.g., slot boundaries, between slots), scheduling interval boundaries (e.g., scheduling interval boundaries, between scheduling intervals). In this regard, the UE 115-a may selectively modify one or more hardware characteristics while communicating in accordance with the indicated processing mode 420. The UE 115-a may selectively modify the one or more hardware characteristics based on transmitting a capability report 410, receiving a first configuration 415-a, receiving a second configuration 415-b, receiving an indication 440 of the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​for the respective processing mode 420, determining a set of hardware characteristics, communicating with the base station 105-a in accordance with the indicated processing mode 420, or any combination thereof.

[0158] For example, the UE 115-a may determine a first set of hardware characteristics for communicating with the base station 105-a and may communicate with the base station 105-a using the first set of hardware characteristics during a first scheduling interval. In this example, the UE 115-a may modify one or more hardware characteristics of the first set of hardware characteristics to generate a second set of hardware characteristics. In some aspects, the UE 115-a may modify one or more hardware characteristics of the first set of hardware characteristics at a boundary between the first and second scheduling intervals (e.g., between the first and second scheduling intervals). In some cases, modifying the hardware characteristics at the boundary of the scheduling intervals may enable phase continuity to be maintained across scheduling intervals (e.g., no status change), which may enable DMRS-based channel estimation to be performed and combined within each scheduling interval.

[0159] Upon modifying the hardware characteristics, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a based on (e.g., in accordance with) the indicated processing mode 420, the modified hardware characteristics, or both. In this regard, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a based on sending the capability report 410, receiving the first configuration 415-a, receiving the second configuration 415-b, receiving an indication 440 of the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​for the respective processing mode 420, determining a set of hardware characteristics, communicating in accordance with the indicated processing mode 420, modifying one or more hardware characteristics, or any combination thereof.

[0160] For example, continuing with the above example, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using a first set of hardware characteristics during a first scheduling interval and may modify one or more hardware characteristics of the first set of hardware characteristics at a boundary between the first and second scheduling intervals. In this example, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using a second set of hardware characteristics (e.g., a modified set of hardware characteristics) during the second scheduling interval.

[0161] In some examples, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using one or more beams during one or more TTIs and / or scheduling intervals. In particular, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a during a second scheduling interval and / or second TTI that is the same as or different from the beam used to communicate during the first scheduling interval and / or first TTI. For example, as described previously herein, the capability report 410 may include an indication that the UE 115-a may perform beam switching at the UE 115-a between adjacent scheduling intervals. In this example, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using a first beam during the first scheduling interval and may communicate with the base station 105-a using a second beam during the second scheduling interval based on the indication of the capability to perform beam switching. In some cases, the UE 115-a may perform a beam switching procedure to switch from the first beam to the second beam at the boundary between the first scheduling interval and the second scheduling interval.

[0162] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may send a request or instruction 445 (hereinafter "instruction 445") to the base station 105-a to transition from the processing mode 420 indicated via the instruction 440 to a different processing mode 420. For example, if the instruction 440 indicates that the UE 115-a is to communicate using a first processing mode 420-a, the instruction 445 may indicate that the UE 115-a should transition to a second processing mode 420-b. As another example, if the instruction 440 indicates that the UE 115-a is to communicate using the second processing mode 420-b, the instruction 445 may indicate that the UE 115-a should transition to the first processing mode 420-a.

[0163] In some aspects, the UE 115-a may transmit an indication 445 to switch processing modes 420 based on one or more characteristics of the UE 115-a (e.g., power level, battery level, power consumption), the wireless communication system (e.g., noise, traffic), or both. For example, as previously described herein with respect to FIG. 3, the multi-TTI scheduling techniques described herein may enable the UE 115-a to refrain from performing control channel monitoring for all TTIs (e.g., all slots). In particular, the multi-TTI scheduling techniques may enable the UE 115-a to perform control channel monitoring for a subset of TTIs within a scheduling interval, which may reduce power consumption and increase the amount of time the UE 115-a is able to perform microsleep procedures to conserve battery power. Thus, in this example, the UE 115-a may transmit an instruction 445 to transition from a first processing mode 420-a (e.g., single-TTI scheduling) to a second processing mode 420-b (e.g., multi-TTI scheduling) upon identifying a low power state and / or high power consumption in the UE 115-a.

[0164] Upon sending the indication 445 to switch processing modes 420, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a based on (e.g., in accordance with) the indication 445. In this regard, the UE 115-a may communicate with the base station 105-a using the first processing mode 420-a or the second processing mode 420-b signaled via the indication 445.

[0165] The techniques described herein may provide improved scheduling of wireless communications for both single-TTI scheduling (e.g., single-slot scheduling) and multi-TTI scheduling (e.g., multi-slot scheduling). In particular, by enabling the UE 115-a to inform the network (e.g., base station 105-a) of its ability to support single-slot and / or multi-slot processing modes, the techniques described herein may enable the base station 105-a to communicate with the UE 115-a using single-slot and / or multi-slot scheduling, depending on the characteristics of the network (e.g., amount of data traffic, noise) and the capabilities of the UE 115-a. Thus, the techniques described herein may enable more widespread use of multi-slot scheduling within wireless communications systems, which may relax processing limitations at the UE 115 and enable higher frequency wireless communications (e.g., FR3, FR4). Furthermore, by enabling more widespread use of multi-slot scheduling, power consumption at the UE 115-a may be reduced, improving battery performance and life.

[0166] 5 illustrates an example of a process flow 500 supporting a technique for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid according to aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, process flow 500 may implement or be implemented by aspects of wireless communications system 100, communications configuration 200, communications configuration 300, wireless communications system 400, or any combination thereof. For example, process flow 500 may illustrate UE 115-b transmitting a capability report indicating UE 115-b's ability to support multi-TTI scheduling, receiving a configuration of a first processing mode for single-slot scheduling and / or a second processing mode for multi-slot scheduling, receiving an indication of the processing mode to be used, and communicating in accordance with the indicated processing mode, as described with reference to FIGS. 1-4.

[0167] In some cases, the process flow 500 may include a UE 115-a and a base station 105-b, which may be examples of corresponding devices described herein. In particular, the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b shown in FIG. 5 may include examples of the UE 115-a and the base station 105-a shown in FIG.

[0168] In some examples, the operations shown in process flow 500 may be performed by hardware (e.g., including circuits, processing blocks, logic components, and other components), code executed by a processor (e.g., software or firmware), or any combination thereof. Alternative examples below may be implemented, in which some steps are performed in a different order than described, or not performed at all. In some cases, steps may include additional features not mentioned below, or further steps may be added.

[0169] At 505, the UE 115-a may transmit an indication of UE capabilities (e.g., a capability report) to the base station 105-b. In some aspects, the capability report may indicate the UE 115-a's ability to support single-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling, or both. In single-TTI scheduling, a single control message (e.g., a PDCCH transmission) received by the UE 115-b may schedule a transmission (e.g., a PDSCH transmission, a PUSCH transmission) for a single TTI. In comparison, in multi-TTI scheduling, a single control message received by the UE 115-b may schedule transmissions within (e.g., across) multiple TTIs of a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling. For example, in multi-TTI scheduling, a single control message may schedule a first transmission within a first TTI of a scheduling interval and a second transmission within a second TTI of the scheduling interval. In the context of single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a TTI may include any time interval, including, but not limited to, a slot, a subframe, a symbol group, or any combination thereof.

[0170] In some aspects, the capability report transmitted at 505 may indicate one or more parameters (e.g., configuration parameter values) associated with the capabilities of the UE 115-a, one or more parameters associated with single-TTI and / or multi-TTI scheduling supported by the UE 115-b, or any combination thereof. The configuration parameters that may be indicated in the capability report may include, but are not limited to, the processing capability of the UE 115-b, the amount of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding for multi-TTI scheduling, the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities for multi-TTI scheduling, the search space set periodicity for multi-TTI scheduling, the time interval (e.g., processing interval) for multi-TTI scheduling, the beam switching capability, the beam switching delay, or any combination thereof.

[0171] For example, as previously described herein, as the frequency of wireless communications increases, the associated SCS increases. Furthermore, as the SCS increases, the slot length of the wireless communications decreases, resulting in complexity in the context of the processing capabilities of the UE 115. In this regard, the processing capabilities of the UE 115-b may be characterized or defined as a function of the SCS. Thus, in this example, the capability report may include an indication of the processing capabilities of the UE 115-b associated with one or more SCSs. For example, the capability report may indicate a first processing capability associated with a first SCS and a second processing capability associated with a second SCS, where the second processing capability is different from the first processing capability. The processing capabilities may be reported using any metric or unit known in the art, including, but not limited to, MHz, GHz, clock speed, etc.

[0172] In some examples, the capability report may include an indication of the quantity of CCEs and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding for single-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling, or both. In the context of single-TTI scheduling, the quantity of CCEs for blind decoding may be defined per TTI (e.g., defined per slot, per subframe, etc.). In the context of multi-TTI scheduling, the quantity of CCEs for blind decoding may be defined per scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling. For example, the capability report may indicate the maximum number of CCEs and / or the maximum number of PDCCH candidates that UE 115-b is able to blind decode per scheduling interval. In some aspects, the quantity of CCEs and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding may be reported as a function of the amount of TTIs per scheduling interval. For example, the capability report may indicate that UE115-b can blind decode a greater amount of CCE and PDCCH candidates for a longer scheduling interval (e.g., a scheduling interval spanning a greater amount of TTIs), and may indicate that UE115 can blind decode a lesser amount of CCE and PDCCH candidates for a shorter scheduling interval (e.g., a scheduling interval spanning a smaller amount of TTIs).

[0173] As another example, the capability report may include an indication of the amount of monitoring opportunities (e.g., control channel monitoring opportunities) for single-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling, or both. In the context of single-TTI scheduling, the amount of monitoring opportunities may be defined per TTI or amount of TTIs (e.g., control channel monitoring opportunities per slot, control channel monitoring opportunities per multiple slots, control channel monitoring opportunities per subframe, control channel monitoring opportunities per multiple subframes, etc.). In the context of multi-TTI scheduling, the amount of monitoring opportunities (e.g., control channel monitoring opportunities) may be defined per scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling. For example, the capability report may indicate a maximum amount of control channel monitoring opportunities that UE 115-b can monitor per scheduling interval (e.g., the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities within a scheduling interval). As previously described herein with respect to the amount of CCE for blind decoding, the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities supported by UE 115-b may be reported as a function of the amount of TTIs per scheduling interval. In particular, UE 115-b may indicate that it supports a greater amount of control channel monitoring opportunities for longer scheduling intervals and a lesser amount of control channel monitoring opportunities for shorter scheduling intervals.

[0174] In some examples, the capability report may indicate search space set periodicity for single-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling, or both. In the context of single-TTI scheduling, the search space set periodicity may be defined per TTI (e.g., search space set per slot, search space set per subframe, etc.). In the context of multi-TTI scheduling, multi-TTI scheduling. In some aspects, the search space set periodicity may be reported as a function of the length of the scheduling interval. For example, the capability report may indicate a first search space set periodicity associated with a first scheduling interval of a first length (e.g., a first nominal grid) and may indicate a second search space set periodicity associated with a second scheduling interval of a second length (e.g., a second nominal grid). Additionally or alternatively, the capability report may define the search space set periodicity over multiple scheduling intervals (e.g., over multiple grids). For example, a capability report may indicate a first search space set periodicity for a set of two scheduling intervals (e.g., a set of two nominal grids) and may indicate a second search space set periodicity for a set of three scheduling intervals (e.g., a set of three nominal grids).

[0175] In some aspects, the capability report may indicate a time interval defining a processing duration between when the UE 115-b receives a message (e.g., a grant, a resource allocation) from the base station 105-b and when it is able to act on the message. For example, the capability report may indicate the time interval between a first time the UE 115-a receives a grant and a second time the UE 115-b is able to act on the grant. For example, the capability report may include an indication of a K value for PDSCH transmissions, a K value for HARQ feedback messages (e.g., ACK, NACK), a K value for PUSCH transmissions, or any combination thereof. In this regard, the capability report may indicate one or more scheduling offsets for scheduled transmissions at the UE 115-b.

[0176] Additionally or alternatively, the capability report may indicate configuration parameters or capabilities associated with beam switching procedures performed at UE 115-b. For example, the capability report may indicate one or more beam switching delays associated with one or more beam switching procedures (e.g., from an uplink beam to a downlink beam, from a downlink beam to an uplink beam, from beam ID1 to beam ID2, or from beam ID1 to beam ID3) performed by UE 115-b. As another example, the capability report may indicate the capability of UE 115-b to perform beam switching procedures between adjacent TTIs (e.g., between adjacent slots), between adjacent scheduling intervals, or both. For example, in the context of multi-TTI scheduling, UE 115-b may indicate the capability to perform one or more beam switching procedures between a first scheduling interval including a first set of TTIs and a second adjacent scheduling interval including a second subset of TTIs. In some cases, the capability to perform beam switching may be reported as a function of the size (e.g., length, amount of TTIs) of the scheduling interval.

[0177] Additional configuration parameters that may be indicated via the capability report may include a unit of PDSCH / PUSCH scheduling, a repetition configuration for transmission / reception of signals associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a frequency hopping configuration for transmission / reception of signals associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a TDRA table associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, an FDRA table associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, a set of resources (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, PUSCH resources, PUCCH resources, PDSCH resources, PDCCH resources) associated with transmissions scheduled via single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the capability report may include an indication of a configuration for PUSCH repetition type B transmissions associated with single-TTI scheduling and / or multi-TTI scheduling (e.g., splitting point for PUSCH repetition type B), or any combination thereof.

[0178] At 510, the UE 115-b may receive from the base station 105-b a first configuration of a first processing mode for the UE 115-b associated with communication scheduled for a single TTI (e.g., a configuration for single-TTI scheduling). The first configuration may be indicated via an RRC message, a DCI message, a system information message, or any combination thereof. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may receive the first configuration at 510 based on transmitting the capability report at 505.

[0179] The first configuration of the first processing mode may indicate one or more parameters or characteristics for single-TTI scheduling of wireless communications in the UE 115-b. In particular, the first configuration may include one or more configuration parameter values ​​for single-TTI scheduling indicated in the capability report, including, but not limited to, a processing capability associated with one or more SCSs for single-TTI scheduling, an amount of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding for single-TTI scheduling, an amount of control channel monitoring opportunities within a TTI or set of TTIs for single-TTI scheduling, a search space periodicity associated with a TTI or set of TTIs for single-TTI scheduling, a time interval for acting on a grant or other transmission for single-TTI scheduling, an ability to perform beam switching between adjacent TTIs for single-TTI scheduling, a beam switching delay for single-TTI scheduling, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the capability report may indicate the ability of the UE 115-b to switch between the first and second processing modes, a delay time for switching between the respective processing modes, etc. Similarly, in some examples, the capability report may indicate the capability of UE 115-b to selectively modify one or more parameters associated with the first processing mode and / or the second processing mode, or both.

[0180] At 515, the UE 115-b may receive from the base station 105-b a second configuration of a second processing mode for the UE 115-b associated with communications scheduled in scheduling intervals spanning the set of TTIs (e.g., a configuration for multi-TTI scheduling). The second configuration may be indicated via an RRC message, a DCI message, a system information message, or any combination thereof. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may receive the second configuration at 515 based on transmitting the capability report at 505, receiving the first configuration at 510, or both. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-b may receive the first configuration for the first processing mode and the second configuration for the second processing mode in a single transmission (e.g., an RRC message, a DCI message, a system information message).

[0181] The second configuration of the second processing mode may indicate one or more parameters or characteristics for multi-TTI scheduling of wireless communications at UE 115-b. In particular, the first configuration may include one or more configuration parameter values ​​for multi-TTI scheduling indicated in the capability report, including, but not limited to, a type of TTI associated with the scheduling interval (e.g., slot, subframe, symbol group), a length of the scheduling interval (e.g., amount of TTIs per scheduling interval), a processing capability associated with one or more SCSs for multi-TTI scheduling, an amount of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, an amount of control channel monitoring opportunities within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, a search space periodicity associated with a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, a time interval for acting on a grant or other transmission for multi-TTI scheduling, an ability to perform beam switching between adjacent scheduling intervals for multi-TTI scheduling, a beam switching delay for multi-TTI scheduling, or any combination thereof.

[0182] In some aspects, the UE 115-b may receive a first configuration at 510, a second configuration at 520, or both based on (e.g., in accordance with) parameters or characteristics indicated via the capability report transmitted at 505. For example, if the capability report indicates processing capabilities of the UE 115-b associated with one or more SCSs, the UE 115-b may receive the first configuration and / or the second configuration based on the indication of the processing capabilities. For example, the second configuration may include an indication of an SCS, a TTI length (e.g., slot length), or both based on the indication of the processing capabilities indicated in the capability report.

[0183] As another example, if the capability report indicates a quantity of CCEs for blind decoding within a scheduling interval, a quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities within the scheduling interval, or both, UE 115-b may receive the first configuration and / or the second configuration based on the quantity of CCEs and / or control channel candidates (e.g., PDCCH candidates) for blind decoding, the quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities, or both. For example, the second configuration may configure UE 115-b to monitor the first quantity of CCEs within a scheduling interval based on (e.g., in accordance with) an indication of the quantity of CCEs for blind decoding. Similarly, the second configuration may configure UE 115-b to monitor the first quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities within a scheduling interval based on (e.g., in accordance with) an indication of the quantity of control channel monitoring opportunities.

[0184] As another example, if the capability report indicates a search space set periodicity associated with the scheduling interval, the second configuration may configure UE 115-b to monitor the first search space set periodicity corresponding to the scheduling interval based on (e.g., in accordance with) the indication of the search space set periodicity associated with the scheduling interval.

[0185] At 520, the UE 115-b may receive an indication from the base station 105-b to apply the first processing mode or the second processing mode. In some aspects, the indication at 520 may be received via control signaling, including RRC signaling, a DCI message, a system information message, or any combination thereof. For example, the indication to apply the first processing mode or the second processing mode may be indicated via one or more bit field values ​​in the DCI message. In some aspects, the first UE 115-b may receive the indication to apply the first processing mode or the second processing mode based on sending a capability report at 505, receiving a first configuration at 510, receiving a second configuration at 515, or any combination thereof.

[0186] Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-b may receive an indication to apply the first processing mode or the second processing mode based on (e.g., in response to) a request by the UE 115-b to be configured in the first processing mode or the second processing mode. For example, in some cases, the UE 115-b may transmit a request to be configured with communications scheduled according to the first configuration or the second configuration (e.g., a request for single-TTI scheduling or multi-TTI scheduling). The UE 115-b may transmit the request for the indicated processing mode based on identified characteristics (e.g., power consumption, battery level) at the UE 115-b, based on identified characteristics (e.g., traffic, noise) of the wireless communications system, or based on any combination thereof. In this example, the base station 105-b may transmit the indication of the first processing mode or the second processing mode according to the request.

[0187] At 525, the UE 115-b may determine a set of configuration parameter values ​​associated with the first processing mode, the second processing mode, or both. For example, the UE 115-b may determine a first set of configuration parameter values ​​associated with the first processing mode, a second set of configuration parameter values ​​associated with the second processing mode, or both. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may determine the configuration parameter values ​​at 525 based on sending the capability report at 505, receiving the first configuration at 510, receiving the second configuration at 515, receiving an indication of the first processing mode or the second processing mode at 520, or any combination thereof.

[0188] The configuration parameter values ​​determined in 525 may include any configuration parameter values ​​associated with the respective processing mode, including, but not limited to, the amount of TTIs within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, the indicated SCS, the TTI length, the time interval between the time of receipt of the grant and the time when UE 115-b may act in accordance with the grant, the processing capability of UE 115-b, the amount of CCE and / or PDCCH candidates for blind decoding, the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities, the search space set periodicity, the beam switching capability, or any combination thereof.

[0189] In some aspects, a first configuration for a first processing mode (e.g., a first configuration for single-TTI scheduling) may include the same or different configuration parameter values ​​compared to a second configuration for a second processing mode (e.g., a second configuration for multi-TTI scheduling). For example, the first configuration received at 510 may be associated with a first set of configuration parameter values, and the second configuration received at 515 may be associated with a second set of configuration parameter values. In some cases, at least one configuration parameter value of the second set of configuration parameter values ​​may differ from the first set of configuration parameter values, or vice versa. In additional or alternative cases, at least one configuration parameter value may be shared across the first and second sets of configuration parameter values. For example, UE 115-b may receive different one or more configuration parameter values ​​for the first and second processing modes (e.g., via the first and / or second configurations), where the different one or more configuration parameter values ​​include search space set periodicity, TDRA table, PUCCH resources, or a combination thereof.

[0190] The UE 115-b may determine a set of hardware characteristics for communicating with the base station 105-b at 530. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may determine the set of hardware characteristics at 530 based on sending the capability report at 505, receiving the first configuration at 510, receiving the second configuration at 515, receiving an indication of the first processing mode or the second processing mode at 520, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​at 525, or any combination thereof.

[0191] The set of hardware characteristics may include hardware characteristics associated with the antenna array of the UE 115-b (e.g., RF component characteristics, phase shifter characteristics, LNA characteristics), characteristics associated with the baseband components of the UE 115-b, characteristics associated with bandwidth portions at the UE 115-b (e.g., bandwidth portion adjustment parameters, center frequency adjustment parameters, bandwidth portion switching parameters), characteristics associated with transmit timing parameters at the UE 115-b, characteristics associated with receive timing parameters at the UE 115-b, characteristics associated with transmit power metrics for transmissions performed by the UE 115-b (e.g., PLL parameters, power amplifier gain), characteristics associated with a DRX cycle at the UE 115-b (e.g., characteristics associated with powering up / powering down of hardware blocks), characteristics associated with MAC-CE application timing, or any combination thereof.

[0192] The UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b based on (e.g., in accordance with) the indicated processing mode at 535. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b based on sending the capability report at 505, receiving the first configuration at 510, receiving the second configuration at 515, receiving an indication of the first processing mode or the second processing mode at 520, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​at 525, determining a set of hardware characteristics at 530, or any combination thereof.

[0193] For example, if the indication received at 520 indicates a first processing mode, the UE 115 may communicate with the base station 105-b according to the first processing mode. In this example, the base station 105-b may schedule transmissions between the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b according to a single-TTI scheduling configuration in which communications are scheduled for a single TTI. Conversely, as another example, if the indication received at 520 indicates a second processing mode, the UE 115 may communicate with the base station 105-b according to the second processing mode. In this example, the base station 105-b may schedule transmissions between the UE 115-b and the base station 105-b according to a multi-TTI scheduling configuration in which communications are scheduled for scheduling intervals spanning a set of TTIs (e.g., scheduling intervals spanning a set of slots).

[0194] Communication between UE 115-b and base station 105-b at 530 may be performed based on (e.g., in accordance with) parameters associated with the indicated processing mode (e.g., configuration parameter values), including, but not limited to, the amount of TTIs within a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling, the indicated SCS, the TTI length, the time interval between the time of receipt of the grant and the time when UE 115-b may act in accordance with the grant, the processing capability of UE 115-b, the amount of CCEs for blind decoding, the amount of control channel monitoring opportunities, search space set periodicity, beam switching capability, or any combination thereof.

[0195] In some examples, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b using one or more beams during one or more scheduling intervals, at 535. For example, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b using a first beam during a first scheduling interval, at 535.

[0196] At 540, the UE 115-b may receive a downlink transmission (e.g., a PDCCH transmission) from the base station 105-b. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may receive the PDCCH transmission during a first TTI of a set of TTIs of a scheduling interval for multi-TTI scheduling. In some examples, the PDCCH transmission may schedule a transmission to be performed at the UE 115-b. For example, the PDCCH transmission may schedule an uplink transmission transmitted from the UE 115-b to the base station 105-b, a downlink transmission transmitted from the base station 105-b to the UE 115-b, or both.

[0197] In some aspects, the UE 115-b may receive a PDCCH transmission at 540 based on sending a capability report at 505, receiving a first configuration at 510, receiving a second configuration at 515, receiving an indication of a first processing mode or a second processing mode at 520, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​at 525, determining a set of hardware characteristics at 530, communicating with the base station 105-b according to the indicated processing mode at 535, or any combination thereof.

[0198] For example, in some cases, the capability report transmitted at 505 may include an indication of a time interval (e.g., a processing time interval) between a first time that the UE 115-b receives a grant and a second time that the UE 115-b is able to act on the grant. In this example, the UE 115-b may receive a PDCCH transmission at 545 that schedules an uplink transmission and / or a downlink transmission based on the indication of the scheduling interval in the capability report. In some cases, the PDCCH transmission may be transmitted / received in a first TTI of the scheduling interval, and the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission may be scheduled within one or more TTIs after the first TTI. For example, the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission may be scheduled based on (e.g., according to) the indicated time interval such that the UE 115-b is able to receive the PDCCH transmission, process the PDCCH transmission, and perform the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission. In this regard, the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission may be scheduled at a time after the length of the indicated time interval following receipt of the PDCCH transmission.

[0199] At 545, the UE 115-b may perform the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH transmission at 540. For example, if the PDCCH transmission schedules an uplink transmission from the UE 115-b to the base station 105-b, the UE 115-b may transmit an uplink transmission to the base station 105-b. As another example, if the PDCCH transmission schedules a downlink transmission from the base station 105-b to the UE 115-b, the UE 115-b may receive a downlink transmission from the base station 105-b.

[0200] As previously described herein, the UE 115-b may perform the communication scheduled by the PDCCH transmission based on the time interval for processing the resource grant / allocation indicated in the capability report. In particular, the UE 115-b may perform the communication scheduled by the PDCCH transmission some time after the end of the time interval that begins upon receipt of the PDCCH transmission that schedules the communication.

[0201] At 550, the UE 115-b may selectively modify one or more hardware characteristics used to communicate with the base station 105-b. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may modify one or more hardware characteristics at TTI boundaries (e.g., slot boundaries, between slots) or scheduling interval boundaries (e.g., scheduling interval boundaries, between scheduling intervals). In this regard, the UE 115-b may selectively modify one or more hardware characteristics while communicating in accordance with the indicated processing mode. The UE 115-b may selectively modify one or more hardware characteristics based on transmitting a capability report at 505, receiving a first configuration at 510, receiving a second configuration at 515, receiving an indication of a first processing mode or a second processing mode at 520, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​at 525, determining a set of hardware characteristics at 530, communicating with the base station according to the indicated processing mode at 535, receiving a PDCCH transmission at 540, performing communication scheduled by the PDCCH transmission at 545, or any combination thereof.

[0202] For example, the UE 115-b may determine 530 a first set of hardware characteristics for communicating with the base station 105-b and may communicate with the base station 105-b using the first set of hardware characteristics during a first scheduling interval at 535. In this example, the UE 115-b may modify one or more hardware characteristics of the first set of hardware characteristics to generate a second set of hardware characteristics. In some aspects, the UE 115-b may modify one or more hardware characteristics of the first set of hardware characteristics at a boundary between the first and second scheduling intervals (e.g., between the first and second scheduling intervals).

[0203] The UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b based on (e.g., in accordance with) the indicated processing mode, the modified hardware characteristics, or both at 555. In this regard, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b based on sending a capability report at 505, receiving a first configuration at 510, receiving a second configuration at 515, receiving an indication of the first processing mode or the second processing mode at 520, determining a set of configuration parameter values ​​at 525, determining a set of hardware characteristics at 530, communicating in accordance with the indicated processing mode at 535, receiving a PDCCH transmission at 540, performing communication scheduled by the PDCCH transmission at 545, modifying one or more hardware characteristics at 550, or any combination thereof.

[0204] For example, continuing the above example, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b using the first set of hardware characteristics during the first scheduling interval at 535 and may modify one or more hardware characteristics of the first set of hardware characteristics at a boundary between the first and second scheduling intervals at 555. In this example, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b using the second set of hardware characteristics (e.g., the modified set of hardware characteristics) during the second scheduling interval at 555.

[0205] In some examples, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b using one or more beams during one or more TTIs and / or scheduling intervals at 555. In particular, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b during a second scheduling interval and / or second TTI at 555 that is the same as or different from the beam used to communicate during the first scheduling interval and / or first TTI. For example, as described previously herein, the capability report transmitted at 505 may include an indication that the UE 115-b may perform beam switching at the UE 115-b between adjacent scheduling intervals. In this example, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b using a first beam during the first scheduling interval at 535 and may communicate with the base station 105-b using a second beam during the second scheduling interval at 555 based on the indication of the capability to perform beam switching. In some cases, UE 115-b may perform a beam switching procedure to switch from the first beam to the second beam at the boundary between the first scheduling interval and the second scheduling interval.

[0206] At 560, the UE 115-b may send a request or instruction to the base station 105-b to transition to a different processing mode from the processing mode indicated at 520. For example, if the instruction received at 520 indicates that the UE 115-b is to communicate using a first processing mode, the request / instruction sent at 560 may indicate that the UE 115-b should transition to a second processing mode. As another example, if the instruction received at 520 indicates that the UE 115-b is to communicate using a second processing mode, the request / instruction sent at 560 may indicate that the UE 115-b should transition to the first processing mode.

[0207] In some aspects, the UE 115-b may transmit an indication / request to switch processing modes at 560 based on one or more characteristics of the UE 115-b (e.g., power level, battery level, power consumption), the wireless communication system (e.g., noise, traffic), or both. For example, as previously described herein with respect to FIG. 3, the multi-TTI scheduling techniques described herein may enable the UE 115-b to refrain from performing control channel monitoring for all TTIs (e.g., all slots). In particular, the multi-TTI scheduling techniques may enable the UE 115-b to perform control channel monitoring for a subset of TTIs within a scheduling interval, which may reduce power consumption and increase the amount of time the UE 115-b is able to perform microsleep procedures to conserve battery power. Thus, in this example, the UE 115-b may transmit a request / indication to transition from a first processing mode (e.g., single-TTI scheduling) to a second processing mode (e.g., multi-TTI scheduling) upon identifying a low power state and / or high power consumption in the UE 115-b.

[0208] At 565, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b based on (e.g., in accordance with) the instruction / request sent at 565. In this regard, the UE 115-b may communicate with the base station 105-b at 565 using the first processing mode or the second processing mode indicated at 560.

[0209] The techniques described herein may provide improved scheduling of wireless communications for both single-TTI scheduling (e.g., single-slot scheduling) and multi-TTI scheduling (e.g., multi-slot scheduling). In particular, by enabling the UE 115-b to inform the network (e.g., base station 105-b) of its ability to support single-slot and / or multi-slot processing modes, the techniques described herein may enable the base station 105-b to communicate with the UE 115-b using single-slot and / or multi-slot scheduling, depending on the characteristics of the network (e.g., amount of data traffic, noise) and the capabilities of the UE 115-b. Thus, the techniques described herein may enable more widespread use of multi-slot scheduling within wireless communications systems, which may relax processing limitations at the UE 115 and enable higher frequency wireless communications (e.g., FR3, FR4). Furthermore, by enabling more widespread use of multi-slot scheduling, power consumption at the UE 115-b may be reduced, improving battery performance and life.

[0210] 6 shows a block diagram 600 of a device 605 that supports techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The device 605 may be an example of an aspect of a UE 115 as described herein. The device 605 may include a receiver 610, a transmitter 615, and a communications manager 620. The device 605 may include a processor. Each of these components may be in communication with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0211] The receiver 610 may provide a means for receiving information such as packets associated with various information channels (e.g., a control channel, a data channel, an information channel related to techniques for adapting a schedule timeline to a processing grid), user data, control information, or any combination thereof. The information may be passed to other components of the device 605. The receiver 610 may utilize a single antenna or a set of multiple antennas.

[0212] The transmitter 615 may provide a means for transmitting signals generated by other components of the device 605. For example, the transmitter 615 may transmit information such as packets associated with various information channels (e.g., a control channel, a data channel, an information channel related to techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid), user data, control information, or any combination thereof. In some examples, the transmitter 615 may be co-located with the receiver 610 within a transceiver module. The transmitter 615 may utilize a single antenna or a set of multiple antennas.

[0213] The communications manager 620, the receiver 610, the transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may be examples of means for performing various aspects of the techniques for adapting a scheduling timeline to a processing grid as described herein. For example, the communications manager 620, the receiver 610, the transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may support a method for performing one or more of the functions described herein.

[0214] In some examples, the communications manager 620, the receiver 610, the transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in hardware (e.g., in communications management circuitry). The hardware may include a processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof configured as or otherwise supporting means for performing the functions described in this disclosure. In some examples, the processor and a memory coupled to the processor may be configured to perform one or more of the functions described herein (e.g., by the processor executing instructions stored in the memory).

[0215] Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, the communications manager 620, the receiver 610, the transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in code executed by a processor (e.g., as communications management software or firmware). If implemented in code executed by a processor, the functions of the communications manager 620, the receiver 610, the transmitter 615, or various combinations or components thereof may be performed by a general-purpose processor, a DSP, a central processing unit (CPU), an ASIC, an FPGA, or any combination thereof or other programmable logic device (e.g., configured as a means for performing or otherwise supporting the functions described in this disclosure).

[0216] In some examples, the communications manager 620 may be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, monitoring, transmitting) using or otherwise cooperating with the receiver 610, the transmitter 615, or both. For example, the communications manager 620 may receive information from the receiver 610, send information to the transmitter 615, or be integrated in combination with the receiver 610, the transmitter 615, or both to receive information, transmit information, or perform various other operations described herein.

[0217] The communications manager 620 may support wireless communications in the UE in accordance with examples disclosed herein. For example, the communications manager 620 may be configured with or otherwise support a capability report indicating the UE's ability to support multi-TTI scheduling to a base station. The communications manager 620 may be configured with or otherwise support a capability report for receiving from the base station, based on the capability report, a first configuration of a first processing mode for the UE associated with communications scheduled for a single TTI and a second configuration of a second processing mode for the UE associated with communications scheduled for a scheduling interval spanning a set of multiple TTIs.
