Abstract

Certain embodiments are directed to a system and method of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission termination. The system and method can include a user equipment (UE) that can receives a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a PUSCH transmission overlapped with repetitions of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the UE and terminates the PUSCH transmission upon detection of the DCI after a fixed number of symbols where the fixed number of symbols is counted from a symbol after the last symbol of a control resource set (CORESET).

Claims (37)

1. A method of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission termination comprising:

generating, by a user equipment (UE) as part of a capability reporting framework, an indication that the UE supports terminating a PUSCH transmission for a dynamically scheduled PUSCH;

reporting, by the UE, the indication as part of the capability reporting framework;

receiving, by the UE, a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with one or more repetitions of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the UE; and

terminating, by the UE, the PUSCH transmission upon detection of the DCI after a fixed number of symbols, wherein the fixed number of symbols is counted from a symbol after a last symbol of a control resource set (CORESET) of the DCI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed number of symbols is equal to a PUSCH preparation time corresponding to a given processing capability.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising skipping, by the UE, the one or more repetitions of the HARQ process starting from a repetition that corresponds to time domain resources indicated for the PUSCH transmission via a valid uplink (UL) grant for the HARQ process.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein terminating the PUSCH transmission is based on receipt of a further valid UL grant for the HARQ process and a new data indicator (NDI) bit-field being toggled.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising not terminating, by the UE, the PUSCH transmission based on receipt of a slot format indication (SFI) indicating a conflicting transmission.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the conflicting transmission includes a conflict between at least one symbol of the SFI overlapping with a time-domain resource carrying a PUSCH configured grant confirmation medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the indication separately indicates whether the UE supports terminating the PUSCH transmission for slot aggregation for the dynamically scheduled PUSCH and for Types 1 and 2 cell group (CG) PUSCH.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations, the operations comprising:

generating, as part of a capability reporting framework, an indication that the UE supports terminating a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission for a dynamically scheduled PUSCH;

reporting the indication as part of the capability reporting framework;

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with one or more repetitions of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the UE; and

terminating the PUSCH transmission upon detection of the DCI after a fixed number of symbols, wherein the fixed number of symbols is counted from a symbol after a last symbol of a control resource set (CORESET) of the DCI.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the fixed number of symbols is equal to a PUSCH preparation time corresponding to a given processing capability.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise skipping the one or more repetitions of the HARQ process starting from a repetition that corresponds to time domain resources indicated for the PUSCH transmission via a valid uplink (UL) grant for the HARQ process.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise terminating the PUSCH transmission based on receipt of a further valid UL grant for the HARQ process and a new data indicator (NDI) bit-field being toggled.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise not terminating the PUSCH transmission based on receipt of a slot format indication (SFI) indicating a conflicting transmission.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the conflicting transmission includes a conflict between at least one symbol of the SFI overlapping with a time-domain resource carrying a PUSCH configured grant confirmation medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein:

the indication separately indicates whether the UE supports terminating the PUSCH transmission for slot aggregation for the dynamically scheduled PUSCH and for Types 1 and 2 cell group (CG) PUSCH.

15. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

radio front end circuitry configured to perform wireless communication; and

processor circuitry, coupled to the radio front end circuitry, configured to:

generate, as part of a capability reporting framework, an indication that the UE supports terminating a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission for a dynamically scheduled PUSCH;

report the indication as part of the capability reporting framework;

receive, using the radio front end circuitry, a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PUSCH transmission that overlaps with one or more repetitions of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process for the UE; and

terminate the PUSCH transmission upon detection of the DCI after a fixed number of symbols, wherein the fixed number of symbols is counted from a symbol after a last symbol of a control resource set (CORESET) of the DCI.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the fixed number of symbols is equal to a PUSCH preparation time corresponding to a given processing capability.

17. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to skip the one or more repetitions of the HARQ process starting from a repetition that corresponds to time domain resources indicated for the PUSCH transmission via a valid uplink (UL) grant for the HARQ process.

18. The UE of claim 17 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to terminate the PUSCH transmission based on receipt of a further valid UL grant for the HARQ process and a new data indicator (NDI) bit-field being toggled.

19. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to not terminate the PUSCH transmission based on receipt of a slot format indication (SFI) indicating a conflicting transmission.

20. The UE of claim 15 , wherein:

the indication separately indicates whether the UE supports terminating the PUSCH transmission for slot aggregation for the dynamically scheduled PUSCH and for Types 1 and 2 cell group (CG) PUSCH.
