Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for half-duplex handling with system-wide feedback resources. Embodiments include determining, for a first feedback resource corresponding to a first time period, that the wireless node has a scheduled feedback transmission and a scheduled feedback reception on shared frequency resources. Embodiments include selecting one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception based on a rule. Embodiments include using the feedback resource to perform the selected one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception.

Claims (54)

1. A method for wireless communication at a wireless node, the method comprising:

determining, for a first feedback resource corresponding to a first time period, that the wireless node has a scheduled feedback transmission and a scheduled feedback reception on shared feedback resources on one or more symbols of a physical channel;

selecting one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception based on a rule; and

using the shared feedback resources to perform the selected one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled feedback transmission and the scheduled feedback reception each comprises either hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) signaling or channel state information (CSI) signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback reception should be selected over the scheduled feedback transmission when scheduled during a same time period.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rule indicates to:

determine a first priority of the scheduled feedback reception;

determine a second priority of the scheduled feedback transmission; and

select the one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception based on the first priority and the second priority.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the rule indicates to select the scheduled feedback reception when the first priority is greater than the second priority, and wherein the rule indicates to select the scheduled feedback transmission when the second priority is greater than the first priority.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the rule indicates, when the second priority is equal to the first priority, to select between the scheduled feedback transmission and the scheduled feedback reception based on signaling provided to the wireless node.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the signaling provided to the wireless node indicates to select the scheduled feedback transmission when the second priority is equal to the first priority.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the signaling provided to the wireless node indicates to select the scheduled feedback reception when the second priority is equal to the first priority.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first priority is based on a quality of service (QoS) associated with a packet associated with the scheduled feedback reception, and wherein the second priority is based on a QoS associated with a packet associated with the scheduled feedback transmission.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback reception should be selected over the scheduled feedback transmission if the scheduled feedback reception comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) signaling and the scheduled feedback transmission comprises channel state information (CSI) signaling.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback transmission should be selected over the scheduled feedback reception if the scheduled feedback transmission comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) signaling and the scheduled feedback reception comprises channel state information (CSI) signaling.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback transmission should be selected over the scheduled feedback reception if the scheduled feedback transmission comprises groupcast signaling and the scheduled feedback reception comprises unicast signaling.

13. An apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the memory and processor being configured to:

determine, for a first feedback resource corresponding to a first time period, that the apparatus has a scheduled feedback transmission and a scheduled feedback reception on one or more symbols of a physical channel;

select one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception based on a rule; and

use the shared feedback resources to perform the selected one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the scheduled feedback transmission and the scheduled feedback reception each comprises either hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) signaling or channel state information (CSI) signaling.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback reception should be selected over the scheduled feedback transmission when scheduled during a same time period.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the rule indicates to:

determine a first priority of the scheduled feedback reception;

determine a second priority of the scheduled feedback transmission; and

select the one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception based on the first priority and the second priority.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the rule indicates to select the scheduled feedback reception when the first priority is greater than the second priority, and wherein the rule indicates to select the scheduled feedback transmission when the second priority is greater than the first priority.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the rule indicates, when the second priority is equal to the first priority, to select between the scheduled feedback transmission and the scheduled feedback reception based on signaling provided to the wireless node.

19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the signaling provided to the wireless node indicates to select the scheduled feedback transmission when the second priority is equal to the first priority.

20. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the signaling provided to the wireless node indicates to select the scheduled feedback reception when the second priority is equal to the first priority.

21. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the first priority is based on a quality of service (QoS) associated with a packet associated with the scheduled feedback reception, and wherein the second priority is based on a QoS associated with a packet associated with the scheduled feedback transmission.

22. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback reception should be selected over the scheduled feedback transmission if the scheduled feedback reception comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) signaling and the scheduled feedback transmission comprises channel state information (CSI) signaling.

23. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback transmission should be selected over the scheduled feedback reception if the scheduled feedback transmission comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) signaling and the scheduled feedback reception comprises channel state information (CSI) signaling.

24. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the rule indicates that the scheduled feedback transmission should be selected over the scheduled feedback reception if the scheduled feedback transmission comprises groupcast signaling and the scheduled feedback reception comprises unicast signaling.

25. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a wireless node, cause the wireless node to perform a method for wireless communication, the method comprising:

determining, for a first feedback resource corresponding to a first time period, that the wireless node has a scheduled feedback transmission and a scheduled feedback reception on one or more symbols of a physical channel;

selecting one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception based on a rule; and

using the shared feedback resources to perform the selected one of the scheduled feedback transmission or the scheduled feedback reception.

26. The computer readable medium of claim 25 , wherein the scheduled feedback transmission and the scheduled feedback reception each comprises either hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) signaling or channel state information (CSI) signaling.
