Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, information identifying a resource allocation for an uplink transmission of a transport block over multiple slots. The UE may transmit, to the base station, at least a portion of coded bits corresponding to the transport block based at least in part on a different uplink transmission being scheduled within the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (65)

1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:

transmit, to a network node, capability information indicating whether the UE supports transmitting a different uplink transmission within an uplink transmission of a transport block over multiple slots;

receive, from the network node, information identifying a resource allocation for the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots; and

transmit, to the network node, a first portion of coded bits, corresponding to the transport block and less than an entire portion of the coded bits, or the entire portion of the coded bits based at least in part on:

the different uplink transmission being scheduled within the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots, and

the capability information.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine a transport block size based at least in part on the resource allocation; and

encode the transport block based at least in part on the transport block size.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the capability information indicates, per frequency band, whether the UE supports transmitting the different uplink transmission within the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the different uplink transmission being scheduled within the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots results in a configuration error.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the first portion of the coded bits or the entire portion of the coded bits, are configured to:

transmit the entire portion of the coded bits over the multiple slots; and

refrain from transmitting the different uplink transmission.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the first portion of the coded bits or the entire portion of the coded bits, are configured to:

transmit the first portion of the coded bits and the different uplink transmission; and

refrain from transmitting another portion of the coded bits.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the other portion of the coded bits is a remaining portion of the coded bits, following the different uplink transmission, that is in a same slot as the different uplink transmission.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the other portion of the coded bits is a remaining portion of the coded bits following the different uplink transmission.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the other portion of the coded bits overlaps with the different uplink transmission.

10. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots and the different uplink transmission are separated by a time gap.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein a duration of the time gap is based at least in part on at least one of a sub-carrier spacing associated with the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots or a sub-carrier spacing associated with the different uplink transmission.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the time gap has a fixed duration.

13. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive information identifying a duration for the time gap.

14. The UE of claim 10 , wherein a duration of the time gap is based at least in part on a capability of the UE.

15. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the first portion of the coded bits or the entire portion of the coded bits, are configured to:

transmit the first portion of the coded bits before the different uplink transmission and a second portion of the coded bits after the different uplink transmission without phase continuity of the first portion and the second portion.

16. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of coded bits or the entire portion of coded bits is transmitted further based at least in part on a priority associated with the different uplink transmission.

17. A network node for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), capability information indicating whether the UE supports transmitting a different uplink transmission within an uplink transmission of a transport block over multiple slots;

transmit, to the UE, information identifying a resource allocation for the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots; and

receive, from the UE, a first portion of coded bits, corresponding to the transport block and less than an entire portion of the coded bits, or the entire portion of the coded bits based at least in part on:

the different uplink transmission being scheduled within the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots, and

the capability information.

18. The network node of claim 17 , wherein the different uplink transmission being scheduled within the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots results in a configuration error.

19. The network node of claim 17 , wherein the one or more processors, to receive the first portion of the coded bits or the entire portion of the coded bits, are configured to:

receive the entire portion of the coded bits block over the multiple slots without receiving the different uplink transmission.

20. The network node of claim 17 , wherein the one or more processors, to receive the first portion of the coded bits or the entire portion of the coded bits, are configured to:

receive the first portion of the coded bits and the different uplink transmission without receiving another portion of the coded bits.

21. The network node of claim 20 , wherein the other portion of the coded bits is a remaining portion of the coded bits, following the different uplink transmission, that is in a same slot as the different uplink transmission.

22. The network node of claim 20 , wherein the other portion of the coded bits is a remaining portion of the coded bits following the different uplink transmission.

23. The network node of claim 20 , wherein the other portion of the coded bits overlaps with the different uplink transmission.

24. The network node of claim 17 , wherein the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots and the different uplink transmission are separated by a time gap.

25. The network node of claim 17 , wherein the one or more processors, to receive the first portion of the coded bits or the entire portion of the coded bits, are configured to:

receive the first portion of the coded bits before the different uplink transmission and a second portion of the coded bits after the different uplink transmission without phase continuity of the first portion and the second portion.

26. The network node of claim 17 , wherein the first portion of coded bits or the entire portion of coded bits is received further based at least in part on a priority associated with the different uplink transmission.

27. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

transmitting, to a network node, capability information indicating whether the UE supports transmitting a different uplink transmission within an uplink transmission of a transport block over multiple slots;

receiving, from the network node, information identifying a resource allocation for the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots; and

transmitting, to the network node, a first portion of coded bits, corresponding to the transport block and less than an entire portion of the coded bits, or the entire portion of the coded bits based at least in part on:

the different uplink transmission being scheduled within the uplink transmission of the transport block over the multiple slots, and
