  • Patent number: 12513735
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may perform, to a first base station and via a first radio frequency (RF) chain, at least a portion of a first uplink transmission associated with a first priority. The UE may receive, from the first base station or from a second base station and during the first uplink transmission, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) grant for a second uplink transmission associated with a second priority higher than the first priority. The UE may cancel a remaining portion of the first uplink transmission based at least in part on receiving the PDCCH grant for the second uplink transmission. The UE may perform, to the first base station or to the second base station and via a second RF chain, the second uplink transmission. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Patent number: 11825468
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving a first transmission scheduling resources for a second transmission having a first priority. The UE may determine that one or more symbols of the second transmission are to be unused due to receipt of a cancellation indication or due to identifying a conflict, for example, with higher priority resources. Based on determining that the symbols are to be unused, the UE may determine that the base station will not reschedule the unused resources for another transmission, for example, having the first priority. The UE and the base station may communicate based on the determination.
