In some examples, the base station may transmit the first DCI in a control channel of the first RF carrier. In some examples, the base station may transmit the first DCI in a data channel of the first RF carrier. In some examples, the base station may transmit, in a data channel of the second RF carrier, a second DCI that indicates that the base station will transmit at least one DCI in the data channel of the first RF carrier.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication may include transmitting an uplink slot with a first control region, a second control region, and (e.g., optionally) a data region. Each region may include time resources and frequency resources. Transmitting the uplink slot may include transmitting the first control region in an earlier part of the uplink slot and transmitting the second control region (e.g., and the data region) in a later part of the uplink slot. The first control region may include time-critical control information and the second control region may include non-time-critical control information. A receiver receiving the uplink slot may receive the first control region before receiving the data region and the second control region.
