Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for flexible uplink transmission are provided. An example method may include receiving a configuration of resources for a PUCCH or a PUSCH associated with UCI, where the configuration of resources may be received from a network entity, where the UCI indicates a set of resources corresponding to a transmission in a first subset of resources associated with the PUSCH and a skipped transmission in a second subset of resources associated with the PUSCH or indicates an MCS for the PUSCH, where the UCI would overlap with an uplink transmission, where the set of resources may include the first subset of resources and the second subset of resources. The example method may further include transmitting at least one of the UCI or the uplink transmission to the network entity.

Abstract: Some techniques described herein provide autonomous modification of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of a grant for a transmission by a user equipment UE. For example, the UE may receive a grant (e.g., a configured grant) indicating a resource allocation and a first MCS for a transmission on the resource allocation. The UE may use the resource allocation for a transmission of a number of transport blocks (e.g., one or more transport blocks), and may use a second MCS, different than the first MCS, for the transmission. In some examples, the second MCS may be a lower MCS, associated with a lower modulation scheme and/or code rate, than the first MCS. Thus, a per-resource-block power consumption of the transmission is decreased by using the second MCS, which provides power savings while reducing or eliminating padding of the uplink communication.
