Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining a priority order based on uplink transmission parameters. One apparatus includes a processor that: indicates uplink transmission parameters to a medium access control layer, wherein the uplink transmission parameters correspond to an uplink grant, the uplink transmission parameters comprise an indication of a numerology and an uplink transmission duration, and the numerology comprises a subcarrier spacing; and assigns, by the medium access control layer, resources allocated by the uplink grant to the logical channels based on the uplink transmission parameters and a logical channel priority of the plurality of logical channels, wherein each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels is configured with a set of numerologies allowed by the respective logical channel, a maximum uplink transmission duration, and information indicating whether a data of the respective logical channel is allowed to be transmitted on a configured grant.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the numerology comprises an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol duration, a cyclic prefix duration, or some combination thereof.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor assigns the resources allocated by the uplink grant to the logical channels based on the uplink transmission parameters and the logical channel priority of the plurality of logical channels by:

selecting a set of logical channels of the plurality of logical channels in response to a numerology parameter of each logical channel of the set of logical channels including the numerology and the maximum uplink transmission duration of each logical channel of the set of logical channels being greater than or equal to the uplink transmission duration; and

assigning resources to the logical channels of the set of logical channels based on a logical channel priority of each logical channel of the set of logical channels.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor assigns the logical channels of the set of logical channels by ordering the logical channels of the set of logical channels in descending priority order.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the numerology parameter comprises one or more numerologies.

6. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein logical channels of the set of logical channels are prioritized over a medium access control control element.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein logical channels of the set of logical channels having information indicating that data of the logical channels are allowed to be transmitted on a configured grant are prioritized over a medium access control control element for an uplink transmission corresponding to a configured grant.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the numerology comprises an index corresponding to the numerology.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels is configured with a maximum numerology allowed by the respective logical channel and the maximum uplink transmission duration.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor assigns the resources allocated by the uplink grant to the logical channels based on the uplink transmission parameters and the logical channel priority of the plurality of logical channels by:

selecting a set of logical channels of the plurality of logical channels in response to a maximum numerology of each logical channel of the set of logical channels being less or equal to the numerology and the maximum uplink transmission duration of each logical channel of the set of logical channels being greater than or equal to the uplink transmission duration; and

assigning resources to the logical channels of the set of logical channels based on a logical channel priority of each logical channel of the set of logical channels.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor selects a scheduling request resource for transmission, and the scheduling request resource corresponds to a numerology being requested for uplink transmission.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor selects the scheduling request resource according to a first numerology of a set of configured numerologies of a logical channel of the plurality of logical channels for which a buffer status report is triggered due to data becoming available for transmission.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives a plurality of uplink grants and determines an order for processing the plurality of uplink grants based on a number of logical channels of the plurality of logical channels configured with a numerology corresponding to a respective uplink grant of the plurality of uplink grants.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives a plurality of uplink grants and determines an order for processing the plurality of uplink grants based on a predefined numerology priority order.

15. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives a plurality of uplink grants and determines an order for processing the plurality of uplink grants based on a predefined order, a signaled order, or some combination thereof.

16. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a medium access control control element is transmittable on the uplink grant for any numerology and any uplink transmission duration.

17. A method comprising:

indicating uplink transmission parameters to a medium access control layer, wherein the uplink transmission parameters correspond to an uplink grant, the uplink transmission parameters comprise an indication of a numerology and an uplink transmission duration, and the numerology comprises a subcarrier spacing; and

assigning, by the medium access control layer, resources allocated by the uplink grant to the logical channels based on the uplink transmission parameters and a logical channel priority of the plurality of logical channels, wherein each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels is configured with a set of numerologies allowed by the respective logical channel, a maximum uplink transmission duration, and information indicating whether data of the respective logical channel is allowed to be transmitted on a configured grant.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the numerology comprises an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol duration, a cyclic prefix duration, or some combination thereof.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein assigning the resources allocated by the uplink grant to the logical channels based on the uplink transmission parameters and the logical channel priority of the plurality of logical channels comprises:

selecting a set of logical channels of the plurality of logical channels in response to a numerology parameter of each logical channel of the set of logical channels including the numerology and the maximum uplink transmission duration of each logical channel of the set of logical channels being greater than or equal to the uplink transmission duration; and

assigning resources to the logical channels of the set of logical channels based on a logical channel priority of each logical channel of the set of logical channels.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein assigning the resources to the logical channels of the set of logical channels comprises ordering the logical channels of the set of logical channels in descending priority order.
