  • Publication number: 20240163869
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise high-layer processing circuitry configured to acquire a RRC parameter and transmission circuitry configured to transmit a PUSCH in multiple slots. The RRC parameter may indicate that the multiple slots are determined according to slots which are available for transmission(s) of the PUSCH. If the RRC parameter is not provided, processing time for canceling a transmission of the PUSCH may be required to be shorter than or equal to a first length. If the RRC parameter is provided, the processing time for canceling a transmission of the PUSCH may be required to be shorter than or equal to a second length. The second length is longer than the first length.

  • Publication number: 20240155610
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a reception circuitry that receives a PDCCH including a DCI format; and a transmission circuitry that transmits a PUCCH. The DCI format indicates transmission of the PUCCH. In a case that a first higher layer parameter NrofSlots indicating the number of repetitions is configured for a PUCCH format corresponding to the transmission of the PUCCH, the number of repetitions of the transmission of the PUCCH is determined based on the first higher layer parameter. In a case that the number of repetitions per transmission of the PUCCH is indicated to be valid for the transmission of the PUCCH based on a second higher layer parameter, the number of repetitions of the transmission of the PUCCH is determined based on a value set in a PUCCH-RepetitionFactor field for the transmission of the PUCCH, included in the DCI format.

  • Publication number: 20240155574
    Abstract: A first wireless device receives from base station a message enabling multi-consecutive slots transmission in a resource pool. The first device selects, based on a first priority value of a plurality of transport blocks in the multi-consecutive slots transmission, one or more consecutive time slots for the multi-consecutive slots transmission. Each of the plurality of transport blocks is associated with a respective priority value. The first wireless device transmits to a second wireless device in one or more consecutive time slots the multi-consecutive slots transmission, the multi-consecutive slots transmission. The first sidelink control information of the multi-consecutive slots transmission indicates a second priority value of the plurality of transport blocks in the multi-consecutive slots transmission.

  • Publication number: 20240049234
    Abstract: A controller configured to select, from a first method and a second method, one method for determination of a size of a transport block to be transmitted on a PUSCH, based on whether scaling is applied to the transport block, and a transmitter configured to transmit the PUSCH are included. In the first method, the size is determined based on NRE=min(X1, NaRE)·nPRB. In the second method, the size is determined based on NRE=min(X1, NaRE)·nPRB·?. The ? is provided by an RRC parameter. In a case that UCI is multiplexed on the PUSCH, the number of coded modulation symbols for the UCI is based on which method is selected as the one method from the first method and the second method.
