A method for wireless communication by a base station (BS) includes determining a feedback timing indicator associated with a PDSCH transmission to a user equipment (UE) in a first slot.

The method includes sending downlink control information (DCI) to the UE scheduling the PDSCH transmission to the UE in the first slot. The DCI includes the feedback timing indicator. The UE determines how to process the PDSCH based on the feedback timing indicator.

Abstract: Some wireless communications systems may support mobile broadband (MBB) communications and low latency communications. To facilitate low latency communications, a base station may assign resources allocated for an MBB transmission for a low latency transmission. As described herein, to limit interference between an MBB transmission and a low latency transmission while maximizing the chances that the MBB transmission is received, an MBB user equipment (UE) may be configured to adjust a transmit power for the MBB transmission to limit the impact on a low latency transmission without preempting the MBB transmission. However, if the MBB UE is unable to adjust the transmit power for the MBB transmission prior to the MBB transmission, the MBB UE may determine whether to drop a portion of the MBB transmission on the resources assigned for the low latency transmission (e.g., based on whether a received power of the MBB transmission exceeds a threshold).

Abstract: Techniques are described herein related to communicating a quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) for configuring physical (PHY) layer signaling. The QCI may be used to configure one or more transmission parameters of a device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or a base station) at a PHY layer. The PHY layer may select the one or more transmission parameters to meet the QoS conditions of a given QoS class of a transport block being communicated. A modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value may be used as the QCI for the PHY layer, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value may be used as the QCI for the PHY layer, or a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) may be used as the QCI for the PHY layer. In some cases, the QCI may be a single bit included in a downlink control message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a transmitting device may be configured to transmit a transport block in a set of transmission time intervals (TTIs) of a repetition window to improve the chances that the transport block is received by a receiving device. In some cases, however, the transport block may not be available to be transmitted in the repetition window until after a first TTI of the repetition window. In such cases, a transmitting device may use the techniques described herein to identify appropriate configurations for transmitting the transport block in the repetition window. For example, the transmitting device may identify an adjusted redundancy version sequence to use for transmitting the transport block in the repetition window or the transmitting device may adjust a repetition window based on a TTI in which the transport block is available to be transmitted.

Abstract: Dynamically adaptive numerologies for ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) are discussed in which a base station may determine performance characteristics for each user equipment (UE) that it serves, in addition to detecting any fluctuations in system loading at the base station.

Once selected, the base station signals the selected adapted numerology to the UEs either through broadcast or UE-specific communications.
