  • Patent number: 11943764
    Abstract: A user equipment, a base station and respective methods are provided. The user equipment receives a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) config information element (IE) in form of radio resource control (RRC) signaling, the PUSCH config IE being applicable to a particular bandwidth part. The user equipment configures a table which is defined by a PUSCH time domain resource allocation list IE carried in the received PUSCH config IE, the table comprising rows, at least one row comprising a first set of values related to allocated time-domain resources for a plurality of PUSCH transmissions. The user equipment receives downlink control information (DCI) signaling carrying a time-domain resource assignment filed with value m, wherein the value m provides a row index m+1 to the RRC configured table. The user equipment determines allocated time-domain resources for the plurality of PUSCH transmissions based on the index of the slot carrying the received DCI.
