Abstract

Techniques are described for handling enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) simultaneous transmissions. For example, based on received downlink control information (DCI), user equipment (UE) can determine one or more behaviors to perform based on whether the DCI is related an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service and/or an ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) service. The behaviors performed when the DCI is related to the eMBB service can be different than the behaviors performed when the DCI is related to the URLLC service.

Claims (32)

1. A method of applying one or more behaviors based on one or more services, comprising:

receiving, at user equipment, downlink control information (DCI);

applying a first behavior based on determining that a resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service, wherein:

applying the first behavior includes generating a first channel state information (CSI) report for the eMBB service;

the first CSI report includes one or more CSI parameters for a first channel quality indicator (CQI) table with a first block error rate (BLER) and one or more CSI parameters for a second CQI table with a second BLER;

uplink control information (UCI) bits of the one or more CSI parameters for the first CQI table are calculated using a first beta offset; and

UCI bits of the one or more CSI parameters for the second CQI table are calculated using a second beta offset; and

applying a second behavior based on determining the resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for an ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) service, wherein applying the second behavior includes generating a second CSI report for the URLLC service and performing UCI multiplexing for the second CSI report for the URLLC service on a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource by dropping the first CSI report for the eMBB service on a second PUCCH resource;

wherein the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource are at least partially overlapped.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the eMBB service and the URLLC service are used simultaneously by the user equipment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for the URLLC service includes determining that one or more cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits of the DCI are scrambled with a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for the URLLC service includes determining that a DCI format associated with the DCI has less bits than one or more DCI formats used for the eMBB service.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for the URLLC service includes determining that a modulation coding scheme (MCS) table configured for at least one of a downlink channel or an uplink channel is an MCS table used for the URLLC service.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for the URLLC service includes determining that the DCI was transmitted repetitively in a plurality of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions on a plurality of ControlResourceSets (CORESETs) for the URLLC service.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for the URLLC service includes determining that the DCI includes a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion having a periodicity of less than one slot.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI multiplexing includes transmitting multiple UCI on a PUCCH resource.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a PUCCH format for the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource is PUCCH format 2.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI report for the eMBB service is dropped when UCI bits are determined to exceed a capacity of the first PUCCH resource.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein dropping the first CSI report for the eMBB service includes dropping a portion of the first CSI report for the eMBB service.

12. An apparatus for applying one or more behaviors based on one or more services, comprising:

a memory configured to store downlink control information (DCI); and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

receive the DCI;

apply a first behavior based on determining that a resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) service, wherein:

applying the first behavior includes generating a first channel state information (CSI) report for the eMBB service;

the first CSI report includes one or more CSI parameters for a first channel quality indicator (CQI) table with a first block error rate (BLER) and one or more CSI parameters for a second CQI table with a second BLER;

uplink control information (UCI) bits of the one or more CSI parameters for the first CQI table are calculated using a first beta offset; and

UCI bits of the one or more CSI parameters for the second CQI table are calculated using a second beta offset; and

apply a second behavior based on determining the resource allocation associated with the DCI is configured for an ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) service, wherein applying the second behavior includes generating a second CSI report for the URLLC service and performing UCI multiplexing for the second CSI report for the URLLC service on a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource by dropping the first CSI report for the eMBB service on a second PUCCH resource;

wherein the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource are at least partially overlapped.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the apparatus comprises a mobile device.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first CSI report for the eMBB service is dropped when UCI bits are determined to exceed a capacity of the first PUCCH resource.
