Abstract

A UE receives, from a base station, a single downlink control information (DCI) indicating a multiple PDSCH grant for at least a first PDSCH in a first slot and a second PDSCH in a second slot. The UE receives the first PDSCH in a first set of symbols in the first slot and receives the second PDSCH in a second set of symbols in the second slot. A UE receives, from a base station, a single DCI indicating a multiple PUSCH grant for at least a first PUSCH in a first slot and a second PUSCH in a second slot. The UE transmits the first PUSCH in a first set of symbols in the first slot and transmits the second PUSCH in a second set of symbols in the second slot.
