Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices for transferring data with different reliabilities. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured with a first modulation and coding set (MCS) table and a second MCS table. The WTRU monitors for a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). If the WTRU detects a first value for the RNTI, data is transferred with a first reliability. If the WTRU detects a second value for the RNTI, data is transferred with a second reliability.

Claims (31)

1 . A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising a processor configured to:

receive configuration information indicating a first configured grant (CG) and a second CG, the configuration information further indicating a first offset associated with the first CG and a second offset associated with the second CG;

determine that first transmission resources associated with the first CG and second transmission resources associated with the second CG at least partially overlap in time;

determine that one of the first CG or the second CG is a prioritized CG;

determine a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID) associated with an uplink transmission based on a formula that includes at least the first offset on a condition that the first CG is determined to be the prioritized CG or the second offset on a condition that the first CG is determined to be the prioritized CG; and

transmit the uplink transmission using the first transmission resources associated with the first CG or the second transmission resources associated with the second CG, wherein the uplink transmission is associated with the determined HARQ process ID.

2 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine that one of the first CG and the second CG is the prioritized CG based on a logical channel priority of a first logical channel mapped to the first CG and a logical channel priority of a second logical channel mapped to the second CG.

3 . The WTRU of claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to determine that the first CG is the prioritized CG based on the logical channel priority of the first logical channel mapped to the first CG being higher than the logical channel priority of the second logical channel mapped to the second CG, and wherein the processor is configured to determine that the second CG is the prioritized CG based on the logical channel priority of the second logical channel mapped to the second CG being higher than the logical channel priority of the first logical channel mapped to the first CG.

4 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the pre defined formula is based on one or more resources occupied by the first CG or the second CG.

5 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the first CG is associated with a first CG occasion and the second CG is associated with a second CG occasion.

6 . The WTRU of claim 5 , wherein the first CG comprises a first time or slot in which a configured grant resource is scheduled for possible transmission and wherein the second CG comprises a second time or slot in which a configured grant resource is scheduled for possible transmission.

7 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine that one of the first CG or the second CG is the prioritized CG based on one or more of: respective priorities associated with the first CG and the second CG, a configured service index, one or more LCP restrictions, a property of the first CG, a property of the second CG, and a measurement performed related to the first CG or the second CG, wherein the property of the first CG comprises one or more of a type of the first CG, a periodicity of the first CG, and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) duration of the first CG, and wherein the property of the second CG comprises one or more of a type of the second CG, a periodicity of the second CG, and a PUSCH duration of the second CG.

8 . A method implemented in a WTRU, the method comprising:
