  • Publication number: 20230037246
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station and a user equipment (UE) may communicate in a high reliability and low latency communications system (e.g., ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)). The base station may signal a UE-specific scheduling request (SR) repetition configuration that the UE may utilize to transmit an instantaneous SR when a buffer status report (BSR) is triggered by a new data packet. The UE may repeatedly transmit the SR until a number of repetitions or a time period of repetitions is met or an uplink grant is received from the base station. The SR repetition configuration may include a number of parameters including a repetition setting, power settings, a resource allocation, and an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) procedure.

  • Publication number: 20230024369
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for DMRS allocation in sub-band FD. For transmission of UL data in a set of symbols having UL DMRS in at least one symbol, a UE may determine which symbol(s) in a subframe will receive DL DMRS so that the UE may align the transmission of the UL DMRS with a reception of the DL DMRS. For transmission of DL data in a set of symbols having a DL DMRS, a BS may determine for a first subset of symbols that a PUSCH will be received from the UE or determine for a second subset of symbols that a PUSCH will not be received from the UE. The BS insert a DL RS within the first subset of symbols or the second subset of symbols based on the determination regarding the PUSCH.
