  • Publication number: 20230141262
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for resolving collisions between deferred uplink transmissions based on priority. A user equipment (UE) receives a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration including an indication of resources for acknowledgment (ACK) reporting as uplink control information (UCI), the first SPS configuration indicating a first priority level. The UE receives a second signaling indicating a second priority level for a second transmission, the second priority level being higher than the first priority level. The UE defers a first UCI transmission according to the first SPS configuration during one or more downlink slots to a first uplink capable slot. The first UCI transmission in the first uplink capable slot collides with the second transmission. The UE transmits the second transmission in the first uplink capable slot based on the second priority level being higher than the first priority level.

  • Publication number: 20230100939
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes deferring transmission of a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) codebook until a target PUCCH, due to potential collision of a first initial semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with a first downlink symbol. The first HARQ codebook has a physical layer (L1) high priority. The method also includes scheduling transmission of a second HARQ codebook at the target PUCCH, the second HARQ codebook having a physical layer (L1) low priority. The method further includes multiplexing the first HARQ codebook and the second HARQ codebook to generate a combined HARQ codebook for transmission in the target PUCCH.

  • Patent number: 11611981
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for reporting content processing times to a base station to allow the base station to efficiently schedule bi-directional communications one or more UEs. A content processing time may correspond to the time taken by a UE to process one or more downlink signals received in one or more downlink transmissions. In some examples, the UE may report a content processing time for each downlink transmission. In some examples, the UE may report one or more content processing times for multiple downlink transmissions. The base station may use the content processing times to configure an appropriate gap between downlink and uplink transmissions such that the UE may have sufficient time to process downlink signals before transmitting one or more uplink transmissions in response to the one or more downlink transmissions.

  • Publication number: 20230073645
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit acknowledgment feedback for a combined signal derived from individual downlink signals received on respective radio links, where the acknowledgment feedback is transmitted with a phase shift applied to the transmission. In some cases, the phase shift may indicate which individual downlink signals were unsuccessfully received and decoded on the respective radio links. For example, the acknowledgment feedback message may include acknowledgment feedback for a final decoding of the combined signal on whether the combined signal is successfully received and decoded and side negative acknowledgment information indicating which individual radio links were unsuccessfully received and decoded via the phase shift. The UE may transmit the acknowledgment feedback on a strongest radio link, a subset of the radio links, or on all of the radio links.
