Abstract

An aspect of the disclosure includes a method for, including: receiving at least one indication indicating at least one of a DL reception and a UL transmission; and performing the DL reception through a first resource or the UL transmission through a second resource according to a rule.

Claims (41)

1 . Method for duplex operation used by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving at least one indication indicating at least one of a DL reception and a UL transmission, wherein the at least one indication comprises a first indication indicating the DL reception and a second indication indicating the UL transmission, the DL reception and the UL transmission are overlapped in time domain; and

performing either the DL reception through a first resource or the UL transmission through a second resource according to a rule, wherein the step of performing either the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the DL reception through the first resource without performing the UL transmission through the second resource if the DL reception is a SSB reception and the UL transmission is a higher layer configured UL transmission or a DCI scheduled UL transmission.

2 . He method according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource and the second resource are Frequency-Division Multiplexed (FDMed).

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the UL transmission through the second resource without performing the DL reception through the first resource if the DL reception is CORESET reception associated with a first group of search space (SS) and the second indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI.

4 . He method according to claim 3 , wherein the first group of SS comprises type 1 common search space (CSS) with dedicated RRC configuration, type3 CSS, or UE specific SS.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the DL reception through the first resource without performing the UL transmission through the second resource if the DL reception is CORESET reception associated with a second group of search space and the second indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI.

6 . He method according to claim 5 , wherein the second group SS comprises type 1 CSS without dedicated RRC configuration, type 0 CSS, type OA CSS, or type 2 CSS.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the UL transmission through the second resource without performing the DL reception through the first resource if the first indication is a higher layer configuration and the second indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the DL reception through the first resource without performing the UL transmission through the second resource if the first indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI and the second indication is a higher layer configuration.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the DL reception through the first resource without performing the UL transmission through the second resource if a first priority indicated by the first indication is higher than a second priority indicated by the second indication, the first indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI and the second indication is another dynamic scheduled DCI.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the DL reception through the first resource without performing the UL transmission through the second resource if a receiving time of the first indication is later than a receiving time of the second indication, the first indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI, the second indication is another dynamic scheduled DCI, and a first priority indicated by the first indication is identical with a second priority indicated by the second indication.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the UL transmission through the second resource without performing the DL reception through the first resource if the UL transmission is a Message 1 (Msg 1 ) or a Message 3 (Msg 3 ) of random access (RA) procedure.

12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the UL transmission through the second resource without performing the DL reception through the first resource if a second priority indicated by the second indication is higher than a first priority indicated by the first indication, the first indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI and the second indication is another dynamic scheduled DCI.

13 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the UL transmission through the second resource without performing the DL reception through the first resource if a receiving time of the second indication is later than a receiving time of the first indication, the first indication is a dynamic scheduled DCI, the second indication is another dynamic scheduled DCI, and a first priority indicated by the first indication is identical with a second priority indicated by the second indication.

14 . He method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication is a higher layer configuration or a dynamic scheduled DCI.

15 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second indication is a higher layer configuration or a dynamic scheduled DCI.

16 . He method according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource is a DL resource and the second resource is a flexible resource.

17 . He method according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource is a flexible resource and the second resource is a UL resource.

18 . He method according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource is a flexible resource and the second resource is another flexible resource.

19 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first resource is a DL resource and the second resource is a UL resource.

20 . A method for duplex operation used by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving a first indication indicating a DL reception and a second indication indicating a UL transmission; and

performing either the DL reception through a first resource or the UL transmission through a second resource according to a rule, wherein the DL reception indicated by the first indication and the UL transmission indicated by the second indication are overlapped in time domain,

wherein the DL reception comprises a higher layer configured DL reception, and the step of performing the DL reception through the first resource or the UL transmission through the second resource according to the rule comprises:

performing the UL transmission through the second resource without expecting to perform the higher layer configured DL reception through the first resource if the UL transmission is a Scheduling Request (SR).

21 . A base station, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor connected to the transceiver and configured at least to:

transmit at least one indication indicating at least one of a DL reception and a UL transmission, wherein the at least one indication comprises a first indication indicating a DL reception and a second indication indicating a UL transmission, and the DL reception indicated by the first indication and the UL transmission indicated by the second indication are overlapped in time domain, the DL reception comprises a higher layer configured DL reception; and

receive the UL transmission through a second resource without transmitting the higher layer configured DL reception through a first resource when the UL transmission corresponds to a Scheduling Request (SR).
