Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to optimizing transmission at a user equipment (UE) such that configured grant (CG) and dynamic grant (DG) uplink communications are transmitted via the same channel or antenna port. In some examples, the UE may be configured to obtain, from a network node, a first signal activating a configured grant (CG) for uplink communication via a first port of the apparatus. In some examples, the UE may be configured to obtain, from the network node, a second signal indicating a dynamic grant (DG) for uplink communication via a second port of the apparatus. In some examples, the UE may be configured to output, for transmission to the network node, a CG uplink signal via the second port of the apparatus based on the second signal indication of the second port.
