Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining a priority order based on uplink transmission parameters. One apparatus includes a processor that: indicates uplink transmission parameters to a medium access control layer, wherein the uplink transmission parameters correspond to an uplink grant, the uplink transmission parameters comprise an indication of a numerology and an uplink transmission duration, and the numerology comprises a subcarrier spacing; and assigns, by the medium access control layer, resources allocated by the uplink grant to the logical channels based on the uplink transmission parameters and a logical channel priority of the plurality of logical channels, wherein each logical channel of the plurality of logical channels is configured with a set of numerologies allowed by the respective logical channel, a maximum uplink transmission duration, and information indicating whether a data of the respective logical channel is allowed to be transmitted on a configured grant.

Claims (19)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processor that:

indicates uplink transmission parameters to a medium access control (MAC) layer, wherein the uplink transmission parameters correspond to an uplink grant, the uplink transmission parameters comprise an indication of a numerology and an uplink transmission duration, and the numerology comprises a subcarrier spacing; and

assigns, by the MAC layer, resources allocated by the uplink grant to at least one MAC control element (MAC-CE) based on the uplink transmission parameters, wherein each respective MAC-CE of a set of MAC-CE is configured with a set of numerologies allowed by the respective MAC-CE, a set of uplink transmission durations allowed by the respective MAC-CE, and information indicating whether the respective MAC-CE is allowed to be transmitted on a configured grant.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the numerology comprises an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol duration, a cyclic prefix duration, or some combination thereof.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor assigns the resources allocated by the uplink grant to the at least one MAC-CE based on the uplink transmission parameters by:

selecting the at one MAC-CE from the set of MAC-CEs of the at least one MAC-CE in response to a respective numerology parameter of each respective MAC-CE of the set of MAC-CEs including a respective numerology and a respective uplink transmission duration parameter of each respective MAC-CE of the set of MAC-CEs including the respective uplink transmission duration; and

assigning resources to the selected at least one MAC-CE.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the respective numerology parameter comprises one or more numerologies.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the numerology comprises an index corresponding to the numerology.

6. A method comprising:

indicating uplink transmission parameters to a medium access control (MAC) layer, wherein the uplink transmission parameters correspond to an uplink grant, the uplink transmission parameters comprise an indication of a numerology and an uplink transmission duration, and the numerology comprises a subcarrier spacing; and

assigning, by the MAC layer, resources allocated by the uplink grant to at least one MAC control element (MAC-CE) based on the uplink transmission parameters, wherein each respective MAC-CE of a set of MAC-CE is configured with a set of numerologies allowed by the respective MAC-CE, a set of uplink transmission durations allowed by the respective MAC-CE, and information indicating whether the respective MAC-CE is allowed to be transmitted on a configured grant.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the numerology comprises an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing symbol duration, a cyclic prefix duration, or some combination thereof.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein assigning the resources allocated by the uplink grant to the at least one MAC-CE based on the uplink transmission parameters comprises:

selecting the at one MAC-CE from the set of MAC-CEs of the at least one MAC-CE in response to a respective numerology parameter of each respective MAC-of the set of MAC-CEs including a respective numerology and a respective uplink transmission duration parameter of each respective MAC-CE of the set of MAC-CEs including the respective uplink transmission duration; and

assigning resources to the selected MAC-CE.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the respective numerology parameter comprises one or more numerologies.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the indication of the numerology comprises an index corresponding to the numerology.
