Abstract

A configuration for a single transport block spanning over multiple slots and having a noncontiguous time domain allocation. The apparatus configures DCI that schedules a plurality of PDSCH symbols or a plurality of PUSCH symbols with a single transport block that spans more than one slot and at least one gap between two adjacent PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols. Each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols are contiguous and have a respective SLIV. The apparatus transmits the DCI to at least one UE.

Claims (52)

1. A method of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

configuring downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) symbols or a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) symbols with a single transport block that spans more than one slot and at least one gap between two adjacent PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols are contiguous and have a respective start and length indicator value (SLIV); and

transmitting the DCI to at least one user equipment (UE).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one gap comprises at least one symbol.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein time domain resource allocations for the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols comprise multiple SLIVs, wherein at least one gap is between two adjacent SLIVs.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a calculation of a size of the single transport block is based on a total number of granted symbols and a total demodulation reference signal (DMRS) overhead.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern is the same for each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing an indication to indicate a scheduling grant configuration of the DCI.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the indication is provided via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE), or DCI.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the MAC-CE provides instructions to interpret the scheduling grant configuration of the DCI.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the DCI includes an additional bit, wherein a value of the additional bit indicates a type of the scheduling grant configuration of the DCI.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing an indication of a calculation of a transport block size of the single transport block.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the indication of the calculation of the transport block size is provided via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE), or DCI.

12. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

configure downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) symbols or a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) symbols with a single transport block that spans more than one slot and at least one gap between two adjacent PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols are contiguous and have a respective start and length indicator value (SLIV); and

transmit the DCI to at least one user equipment (UE).

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one gap comprises at least one symbol.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor further configured to:

provide an indication to indicate a scheduling grant configuration of the DCI.

15. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor further configured to:

provide an indication of a calculation of a transport block size of the single transport block.

16. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) symbols or a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) symbols with a single transport block that spans more than one slot and at least one gap between two adjacent PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols are contiguous and have a respective start and length indicator value (SLIV);

determining a rate matching sequence of the single transport block; and

communicating with the base station based on a corresponding grant of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein communication with the base station is based on a schedule configured by the DCI.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the at least one gap comprises at least one symbol.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein time domain resource allocations for the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols comprise multiple SLIVs, wherein at least one gap is between two adjacent SLIVs.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein a calculation of a size of the single transport block is based on a total number of granted symbols and a total demodulation reference signal (DMRS) overhead.

20. The method of claim 16 , wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern is the same for each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols.

21. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving an indication to indicate a scheduling grant configuration of the DCI.

22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the indication is received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE), or DCI.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the MAC-CE provides instructions to interpret the scheduling grant configuration of the DCI.

24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the DCI includes an additional bit, wherein a value of the additional bit indicates a type of the scheduling grant configuration of the DCI.

25. The method of claim 16 , wherein the determining the rate matching sequence of the single transport block further comprising:

receiving an indication of a calculation of a transport block size of the single transport block.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the indication of the calculation of the transport block size is provided via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE), or DCI.

27. An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) symbols or a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) symbols with a single transport block that spans more than one slot and at least one gap between two adjacent PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols are contiguous and have a respective start and length indicator value (SLIV);

determine a rate matching sequence of the single transport block; and

communicating with the base station based on a corresponding grant of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein communication with the base station is based on a schedule configured by the DCI.

28. The apparatus of claim 27 , wherein the at least one gap comprises at least one symbol.
