Abstract

Claims (62)

1. A wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured at least to:

receive information indicating:

slot format configuration (SFC) information that indicates flexible symbols, uplink symbols, and downlink symbols,

an uplink grant that is associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission,

a slot format indicator (SFI), and

a resource indication that indicates available resource block groups associated with the uplink symbols;

identify, based on the SFC information and the SFI, an available uplink symbol;

identify, based on the resource indication, the available uplink symbol is associated with at least one available resource block group; and

send the PUSCH transmission using the available uplink symbol.

2. The WTRU of claim 1 ,

wherein the resource indication indicates a resource priority, and

wherein the processor is further configured to identify, for the available uplink symbol, available resource block groups to send the PUSCH transmission by comparing the resource priority and a priority associated with data to be sent in the PUSCH transmission.

3. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the SFI indicates flexible symbols that are available for uplink.

4. The WTRU of claim 3 , wherein the SFI comprises a information indicating flexible symbols in a plurality of symbols, the flexible symbols available for uplink.

5. The WTRU of claim 3 , wherein the SFI comprises an index to a table, the table identifying flexible symbols available for uplink.

6. The WTRU of claim 1 ,

wherein the processor configured to identify the available uplink symbol is further configured to

identify, based on the SFI, a flexible symbol available for uplink; and

wherein the processor configured to identify the available uplink symbol is associated with at least one available resource block group is further configured to identify, based on the resource indication, the flexible symbol available for uplink is associated with at least one available resource block group.

7. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor configured to send the PUSCH transmission is configured to perform a PUSCH transmission repetition.

8. The WTRU of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive an indication of a termination; and

terminate the PUSCH transmission repetition.

9. A method for use in a wireless transmit and receive unit (WRTU) comprising:

the WTRU receiving information indicating:

slot format configuration (SFC) information that indicates flexible symbols, uplink symbols, and downlink symbols,

an uplink grant that is associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission,

a slot format indicator (SFI), and

a resource indication that indicates available resource block groups associated with the uplink symbols;

the WTRU identifying, based on the SFC and the SFI, an available uplink symbol,

the WTRU identifying, based on the resource indication, the available uplink symbol is associated with at least one available resource block group;

and

the WTRU sending the PUSCH transmission using the available uplink symbol.

10. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the resource indication indicates a resource priority, and

wherein the method further comprises identifying, for the available uplink symbol, available resource block groups to send the PUSCH transmission by comparing the resource priority and a priority associated with data to be sent in the PUSCH transmission.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the SFI indicates flexible symbols that are available for uplink.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the SFI comprises information indicating flexible symbols in a plurality of symbols, the flexible symbols available for uplink.

13. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein identifying the available uplink symbol comprises identifying, based on the SFI, a flexible symbol available for uplink; and

wherein identifying the available uplink symbol is associated with at least one available resource block group comprises identifying, based on the resource indication, the flexible symbol available for uplink is associated with at least one available resource block group.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein sending the PUSCH transmission comprises performing a plurality of PUSCH transmission repetitions.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

receiving an indication of a termination; and

terminating performing the plurality of PUSCH transmission repetitions.

16. A wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured at least to:

receive information indicating:

an uplink grant that is associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission,

a slot format indicator (SFI), and

a resource indication that indicates available resource block groups associated with uplink symbols;

identify, based on the SFI, an available uplink symbol;

identify, based on the resource indication, the available uplink symbol is associated with at least one available resource block group;

and

send the PUSCH transmission using the available uplink symbol.

17. The WTRU of claim 16 , wherein the SFI indicates flexible symbols that are available for uplink.

18. The WTRU of claim 17 , wherein the SFI comprises information indicating flexible symbols in a plurality of symbols, the flexible symbols available for uplink.

19. The WTRU of claim 16 ,

wherein the processor configured to identify the available uplink symbol is further configured to identify, based on the SFI, a flexible symbol available for uplink; and

wherein the processor configured to identify the available uplink symbol is associated with at least one available resource block group is further configured to identify, based on the resource indication, the flexible symbol available for uplink is associated with at least one available resource block group.

20. The WTRU of claim 16 , wherein the processor configured to send the PUSCH transmission is configured to perform a PUSCH transmission repetition.
