Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may receive, at a first location in a downlink signal, preemption information that identifies a second location of a first type of traffic that preempts a second type of traffic, the first location relative to the second location being based at least in part on a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) configuration of the UE. The apparatus may receive the first type of traffic at the second location. The apparatus may generate a HARQ response associated with the first type of traffic. The apparatus may transmit the HARQ response based at least in part on the HARQ configuration of the UE.

receiving, at a first location in a downlink signal, preemption information that identifies a second location of a first type of traffic that preempts a second type of traffic, the first location relative to the second location being based at least in part on a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) configuration of the UE, the HARQ configuration indicating a configuration to perform a HARQ response, associated with the second type of traffic, within a quantity of HARQ interlaces that cause the UE to provide the HARQ response in a subsequent slot after a first slot in which the second type of traffic is received, the quantity of HARQ interlaces being two or more interlaces, and the first type of traffic being scheduled to be received in the first slot;

receiving the first type of traffic at the second location;

generating the HARQ response; and

transmitting the HARQ response based at least in part on the HARQ configuration of the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preemption information is received after a time at which reception of the second type of traffic has started.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the HARQ response is transmitted during a common uplink burst portion.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first type of traffic is scheduled to be received on a first frequency band; and

wherein the preemption information is received on a second frequency band that is different than the first frequency band.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first type of traffic is scheduled to be received on a first frequency band; and

wherein the preemption information is received on a second frequency band that at least partially overlaps the first frequency band.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preemption information is received in a particular slot or mini-slot, and

wherein the first type of traffic is scheduled to be received on the particular slot or mini-slot.

7. The method of claim 1

wherein the preemption information is received in a second slot after the first slot based at least in part on the HARQ configuration, and

wherein the second slot is not later than the subsequent slot.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the preemption information is received as a portion of a downlink control portion of the second slot.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the HARQ response for the first type of traffic is provided during a common uplink burst portion of the second slot.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first type of traffic is associated with an ultra-reliable low-latency communication service.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preemption information is received periodically.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second location is identified based at least in part on an offset associated with the preemption information.

13. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors to:

receive, at a first location in a downlink signal, preemption information that identifies a second location of a first type of traffic that preempts a second type of traffic, the first location relative to the second location being based at least in part on a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) configuration of the UE, the HARQ configuration indicating a configuration to perform a HARQ response, associated with the second type of traffic, within a quantity of HARQ interlaces that cause the UE to provide the HARQ response in a subsequent slot after a first slot in which the second type of traffic is received, the quantity of HARQ interlaces being two or more interlaces, and the first type of traffic being scheduled to be received in the first slot;

receive the first type of traffic at the second location;

generate the HARQ response; and

transmit the HARQ response based at least in part on the HARQ configuration of the UE.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the preemption information is received after a time at which reception of the second type of traffic has started.

15. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the HARQ response is transmitted during a common uplink burst portion.

16. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the first type of traffic is scheduled to be received on a first frequency band; and

wherein the preemption information is received on a second frequency band that is different than the first frequency band.

17. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the first type of traffic is scheduled to be received on a first frequency band; and

wherein the preemption information is received on a second frequency band that at least partially overlaps the first frequency band.

18. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the preemption information is received in a particular slot or mini-slot, and

wherein the first type of traffic is scheduled to be received on the particular slot or mini-slot.

19. The UE of claim 13 ,

wherein the preemption information is received in a second slot after the first slot based at least in part on the HARQ configuration, and

wherein the second slot is not later than the subsequent slot.

20. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the preemption information is received as a portion of a downlink control portion of the second slot.

21. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the HARQ response for the first type of traffic is provided during a common uplink burst portion of the second slot.

22. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the first type of traffic is associated with an ultra-reliable low-latency communication service.

23. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the preemption information is received periodically.

24. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the second location is identified based at least in part on an offset associated with the preemption information.

25. A method of wireless communication for a base station, comprising:

determining a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) configuration of user equipment (a UE);

providing, at a first location in a downlink signal, preemption information that identifies a second location of a first type of traffic that preempts a second type of traffic, the first location relative to the second location being based at least in part on the HARQ configuration;
