Cross-slot scheduling for cross numerology
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a scheduling offset threshold corresponding to a cross-slot grant. The UE may monitor a control channel in a first slot for the cross-slot grant, the control channel having a first numerology that is different than a second numerology of a shared channel and determine a beginning slot defined in the second numerology based on interpreting the scheduling offset threshold as being defined in the first numerology or the second numerology. The UE may then enter a low power state, or communicating a data transmission, during the beginning slot based on whether the cross-slot grant is detected.
