APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT UPLINK COMMUNICATIONS
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a UE configured to determine that first data stored in the memory for an uplink transmission is not suitable for subsequent uplink scheduling based on a criterion, and trigger the transmission of a control message that indicates an amount of the first data that will not be provided in an uplink transmission.
1 - 20 . (canceled)
21 . A User Equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
receive a Configured Grant (CG) configuration allocating multiple CG Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resources;
determine whether to use an allocated CG PUSCH resource for a PUSCH transmission based at least in part on an amount of data buffered at the UE;
generate Uplink Control Information (UCI) that indicates one or more unused CG PUSCH resources; and
transmit the UCI.
22 . The UE of claim 21 , wherein the UCI further indicates an amount of time for pausing PUSCH transmission on the one or more unused CG PUSCH resources.
23 . The UE of claim 22 , wherein the UCI further indicates an amount of invalid data buffered at the UE.
24 . The UE of claim 23 , wherein the amount of time for pausing PUSCH transmission is associated with the amount of invalid data buffered at the UE.
25 . The UE of claim 21 , wherein the UCI further indicates a request for one or more subsequent CG PUSCH resources for a subsequent PUSCH transmission.
26 . The UE of claim 21 , wherein the UCI is transmitted in the CG PUSCH resources allocated by the CG configuration.
27 . A processor for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
receive a Configured Grant (CG) configuration allocating multiple CG Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resources;
determine whether to use an allocated CG PUSCH resource for a PUSCH transmission based at least in part on an amount of data buffered at a User Equipment (UE) associated with the controller;
generate uplink control information that indicates one or more unused CG PUSCH resources; and
transmit the UCI.
28 . The processor of claim 27 , wherein the UCI further indicates an amount of time for pausing PUSCH transmission on the one or more unused CG PUSCH resources.
29 . The processor of claim 27 , wherein the UCI further indicates an amount of invalid data buffered at the UE.
30 . The processor of claim 27 , wherein the amount of time for pausing PUSCH transmission is associated with the amount of invalid data buffered at the UE.
31 . The processor of claim 27 , wherein the UCI further indicates a request for one or more subsequent CG PUSCH resources for a subsequent PUSCH transmission.
32 . The processor of claim 27 , wherein the UCI is transmitted in the CG PUSCH resources allocated by the CG configuration.
33 . A method performed by a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving a Configured Grant (CG) configuration allocating multiple CG Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resources;
determining whether to use an allocated CG PUSCH resource for a PUSCH transmission based at least in part on an amount of data buffered at the UE;
generating Uplink Control Information (UCI) that indicates one or more unused CG PUSCH resource; and
transmitting the UCI.
34 . The method of claim 33 , wherein the UCI further indicates an amount of time for pausing PUSCH transmission on the one or more unused CG PUSCH resources.
35 . The method of claim 33 , wherein the UCI further indicates an amount of invalid data buffered at the UE.
36 . The method of claim 33 , wherein the amount of time for pausing PUSCH transmission is associated with the amount of invalid data buffered at the UE.
37 . The method of claim 33 , wherein the UCI further indicates a request for one or more subsequent CG PUSCH resources for a subsequent PUSCH transmission.
38 . The method of claim 33 , wherein the UCI is transmitted in the CG PUSCH resources allocated by the CG configuration.
