Abstract

A method performed by a base station (BS) is provided. The method transmits, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message that carries a configuration for a configured downlink (DL) transmission on a first DL channel and a configured uplink (UL) transmission on a UL channel. In a case a timing condition between the first DL channel and a second DL channel is satisfied, the method transmits, to the UE, the second DL channel; cancels the configured DL transmission on the first DL channel; and cancels the configured UL transmission on the UL channel. The UL channel includes a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback.

Claims (45)

1. A method performed by a base station (BS), the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message that carries a configuration for a configured downlink (DL) transmission on a first DL channel and a configured uplink (UL) transmission on a UL channel; and

in a case that a timing condition between the first DL channel and a second DL channel is satisfied,

transmitting, to the UE, the second DL channel,

canceling the configured DL transmission on the first DL channel, and

canceling the configured UL transmission on the UL channel,

wherein the UL channel comprises a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback,

the first DL channel comprises a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configured by one of a set of one or more SPS configurations,

the HARQ-ACK feedback is associated with the SPS PDSCH, and

the second DL channel comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying an SPS PDSCH release for one or more of the set of one or more SPS configurations.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timing condition comprises the second DL channel being received no later than the first DL channel.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DL channel overlaps, at least partially, the second DL channel in time domain.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SPS PDSCH release is carried in a downlink control information (DCI) format.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timing condition comprises a last symbol of the PDCCH not being received after a last symbol of the SPS PDSCH in a slot.

6. A base station (BS), comprising:

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing one or more computer-executable instructions; and

at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, the at least one processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the BS to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message that carries a configuration for a configured downlink (DL) transmission on a first DL channel and a configured uplink (UL) transmission on a UL channel; and

in a case that a timing condition between the first DL channel and a second DL channel is satisfied,

transmit, to the UE, the second DL channel,

cancel the configured DL transmission on the first DL channel, and

cancel the configured UL transmission on the UL channel,

wherein the UL channel comprises a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback,

the first DL channel comprises a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configured by one of a set of one or more SPS configurations,

the HARQ-ACK feedback is associated with the SPS PDSCH, and

the second DL channel comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying an SPS PDSCH release for one or more of the set of one or more SPS configurations.

7. The BS of claim 6 , wherein the timing condition comprises the second DL channel being received no later than the first DL channel.

8. The BS of claim 6 , wherein the first DL channel overlaps, at least partially, the second DL channel in time domain.

9. The BS of claim 6 , wherein the SPS PDSCH release is carried in a downlink control information (DCI) format.

10. The BS of claim 6 , wherein the timing condition comprises a last symbol of the PDCCH not being received after a last symbol of the SPS PDSCH in a slot.

11. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing one or more computer-executable instructions for scheduling radio resources for the UE; and

at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, the at least one processor configured to execute the one or more computer-executable instructions to cause the UE to:

receive a radio resource control (RRC) message carrying a configuration for a configured downlink (DL) transmission on a first DL channel and a configured uplink (UL) transmission on a first UL channel;

receive the configured DL transmission on the first DL channel and a second DL channel, the second DL channel scheduling a second UL channel; and

cancel the configured UL transmission on the first UL channel when a first timing condition between the first DL channel and the second DL channel is satisfied and when a second timing condition between the first UL channel and the second UL channel is satisfied, wherein:

the configured DL transmission comprises a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmission, and the first DL channel comprises an SPS physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configured by one of a set of one or more SPS configurations,

the configured UL transmission comprises a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback associated with the SPS PDSCH, and the first UL channel comprises a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for the first HARQ-ACK feedback,

the second DL channel comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying an SPS PDSCH release indication for releasing one or more of the set of one ore more SPS configurations, and

the second UL channel comprises a PUCCH for a second HARQ-ACK feedback associated with the SPS PDSCH release.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first timing condition comprises the second DL channel being received no later than the first DL channel.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first DL channel overlaps, at least partially, the second DL channel in time domain.

14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the SPS PDSCH release indication is carried in a downlink control information (DCI) format.

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first timing condition comprises a last symbol of the PDCCH not being received after a last symbol of the SPS PDSCH in a slot.

16. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the second timing condition comprises the first UL channel and the second UL channel being in a same slot.
