Abstract

In order to reduce latency in new radio access technology (NR), a method and apparatus for configuring a pre-scheduled physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is proposed. A user equipment (UE) receives a configuration of the pre-scheduled PUSCH from a network, wherein the configuration includes a percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH, and transmits UL data via the pre-scheduled PUSCH according to the percentage of resource to the network. Further, the UE receives a dynamic indication of adjusting the percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH from the network, and transmits UL data via the pre-scheduled PUSCH according to the adjusted percentage of resource to the network.

Claims (33)

1. A method for configuring a pre-scheduled physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a configuration of the pre-scheduled PUSCH from a network, wherein the configuration includes a percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH;

transmitting UL data via the pre-scheduled PUSCH according to the percentage of resource to the network;

receiving a dynamic indication of adjusting the percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH from the network; and

transmitting UL data via the pre-scheduled PUSCH according to the adjusted percentage of resource to the network,

wherein the indication indicates that the percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH is decreased, and

wherein a highest or lowest physical resource block (PRB) is selected.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration includes at least one of a resource block (RB) allocation, at least one demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) sequence for the UL data, or at least one modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration is received periodically.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration is received via one of broadcast signaling, group-cast signaling or unicast signaling.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the indication indicates that the percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH is increased, and

wherein an additional resource is selected after last configured resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing sensing on the resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH, wherein the UL data is transmitted via the pre-scheduled PUSCH only if the resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH is free according to the sensing.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a scheduling request (SR) to the network; and

receiving a confirmation message from the network as a response to the SR, wherein the UL data is transmitted via the pre-scheduled PUSCH immediately after receiving the confirmation message.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the confirmation message includes information on a status of the resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the status of the resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH indicates a clean status, which indicates that the network has not scheduled the resource to other UEs, nor the network has not received any request to utilize the resource from other UEs.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the status of the resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH indicates a dirty status, which indicates that the network has scheduled the resource to other UEs, or the network has received a request to utilize the resource from other UEs.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the confirmation message includes information on a desired power for the pre-scheduled PUSCH or a power offset for the pre-scheduled PUSCH.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the reception of the confirmation message and the transmission of the UL data is performed in a same transmission time interval (TTI).

13. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor, coupled to the memory and the transceiver, that:

controls the transceiver to receive a configuration of a pre-scheduled physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) from a network, wherein the configuration includes a percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH,

controls the transceiver to transmit UL data via the pre-scheduled PUSCH according to the percentage of resource to the network,

controls the transceiver to receive a dynamic indication of adjusting the percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH from the network, and

controls the transceiver to transmit UL data via the pre-scheduled PUSCH according to the adjusted percentage of resource to the network,

wherein the indication indicates that the percentage of resource for the pre-scheduled PUSCH is decreased, and

wherein a highest or lowest physical resource block (PRB) is selected.
