Abstract: A UE may determine a number of resources granted for uplink or downlink communication in a processing window. The resources may include uplink resources or downlink resources and the processing windows may include a predetermined number of subframes. For uplink (UL) transmissions, this may include determining a number of transport block bits, resource blocks, or other resources scheduled in one or more first UL channel grants for a first UL channel, and determining a number of such resources scheduled in a second UL grant for a second UL channel. For downlink (DL) transmissions, the determining may include determining a number of resources received on a first DL channel in each subframe of a set of subframes, and determining a number of resources received on a second DL channel. The determined number of UL or DL resources may be compared to a corresponding threshold which his based on the UE capabilities and processed in accordance a result of the comparison. These and additional aspects are described herein.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for interleaved mapping are described. A transmitting device may identify a set of virtual resource blocks (VRBs) corresponding to at least one code block to be transmitted to a receiving device. The transmitting device may determine that a quantity of VRBs to be transmitted to the receiving device is different than a quantity of entries within a regular interleaving matrix. Thus, the transmitting device may map each of the VRBs to a physical resource block (PRB) according to an irregular interleaving matrix to generate at least one interleaved code block. The transmitting device may transmit the interleaved code block to the receiving device. The receiving device may receive the interleaved code block and identify the PRBs associated with the interleaved code block. The receiving device may map each of the PRBs within the interleaved code block to a VRB according to an irregular deinterleaving matrix.

Abstract: The techniques described herein may provide for sub-slot based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition (i.e., back-to-back PUSCH repetition within a slot) according to user equipment (UE) capability. A UE may employ uplink data repetition capability reporting for base station scheduling of uplink data repetition and base station management of the number of transport blocks (TBs) that a UE supports (e.g., processes and transmits for uplink) on a per-slot basis. According to the techniques described herein, a UE may indicate whether it supports mini-slot repetition (e.g., for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), or both) via an uplink data repetition capability report. The uplink data repetition capability report may further indicate a maximum number of supported repetitions per TB, a number of supported TBs per slot, etc., such that a base station may configure or schedule PUSCH repetition based on the UE's reported capability.

In some aspects, a mobile station may receive an indication of whether a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communication is to be punctured in a set of resources in which a second PDSCH communication at least partially overlaps with the first PDSCH communication, or both the first PDSCH communication and the second PDSCH communication are to be transmitted in the set of resources. The mobile station may decode the first PDSCH communication based at least in part on the indication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit an indication that the UE is capable of supporting one or more channels of a first priority and one or more channels of a second priority, where the first priority is higher than the second. The UE may receive signaling indicating a search space set in a control-resource set (CORESET) that corresponds to grant candidates for scheduling the one or more channels of the first priority. The UE may determine a second search space set in the CORESET that corresponds to grant candidates for scheduling the one or more channels of the second priority. The UE may decode, within a search space of the first search space set, a grant for scheduling the one or more channels of the first priority.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of at least one of a first interleaving mode for mapping codeblocks to a data channel or a second interleaving mode for reporting channel state information (CSI). The UE may map codeblocks to the data channel based at least in part on the first interleaving mode. The UE may report CSI based at least in part on the second interleaving mode. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may determine that the first UE is scheduled to transmit in a first slot and a second slot after the first slot. The first UE may then transmit, to a second UE, a first set of data in the first slot based on determining that the first UE is scheduled to transmit in the first slot and the second slot. In some examples, the first UE may determine whether a power estimation capability of the second UE satisfies a threshold. In some cases, the power estimation capability may be based on a correspondence between transmissions in the first slot and expected transmissions in the second slot. Based on the power estimation capability of the second UE, the first UE transmits data in a symbol reserved for automatic gain control at the second slot.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may interrupt a user equipment (UE) during transport block (TB) encoding. The UE may cancel transmission (e.g., suppress processing) of a TB based on the interruption, such that a first subset of code blocks is encoded and a second subset is unencoded. In some cases, the UE may receive a re-transmission request for a code block including cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits for the TB, where the CRC bits are not prepared. In one example, the UE may modify the CRC bits (e.g., set them to a common value, drop them, etc.) to reduce processing time. In another example, the base station may request re-transmission of all preempted code blocks, supporting TB CRC calculation. In another example, the base station or UE may extend a processing timeline for the re-transmission to support TB CRC calculation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) at a first time, and may receive a second DCI at a second, later time. Each DCI may contain scheduling information for scheduling a number of transmissions at the UE. A transmission associated with the first DCI on a first cell may be scheduled to start before or during a transmission associated with the second DCI on a second cell. The UE may then determine priorities associated with the first and second cells. In cases where the priority of the second cell is greater than the priority of the first cell, the UE may transmit the second scheduled transmission before it transmits the first scheduled transmission. As a result, the UE may prioritize transmitting the second scheduled transmission before the first scheduled transmission.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus where a user equipment (UE) may indicate different physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring capabilities (such as UE capabilities in terms of the number of control channel elements (CCEs), blind decodes (BDs), number of downlink control information (DCI) formats, etc.) per monitoring span or slot. For example, a UE may support a different number of CCEs per slot or a different number of DCIs per monitoring span for different service types (such as a different number of CCEs for enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)). A UE may indicate different sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities (such as sets of PDCCH monitoring capabilities for different service types, monitoring spans, slots, etc.). A base station may receive the indication of UE PDCCH monitoring capability information, and may configure the UE with one or more monitoring occasions accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate defining new control channels in legacy wireless networks. Control data resources for new systems can be defined over resources reserved for general data communications in the legacy wireless network specification. In this regard, legacy devices can still be supported by devices implementing new control data resources, and the new control data resources can avoid substantial interference that is typically exhibited over legacy control and/or reference signal resources by instead using the general data resources. In addition, new system devices can avoid scheduling data communication resources over the new control resources to create a substantially non-interfered global control segment. Control data can be transmitted over the segment using beacon-based technologies, reuse schemes, and/or the like.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for reduced timing between certain downlink communications and responsive uplink communications relative to certain legacy systems (e.g., legacy LTE systems). A user equipment (UE) or base station may be capable of operating using two or more timing configurations that each include an associated time period between receipt of a downlink communication (e.g., a grant of uplink resources or shared channel data) and a responsive uplink communication (e.g., an uplink transmission using the granted uplink resources or feedback of successful reception of the shared channel data). In cases where a UE or base station are capable of two or more timing configurations, a timing configuration for a transmission may be determined and the responsive uplink communication transmitted according to the determined timing configuration.
