Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify a plurality of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations corresponding to a plurality of SPS occasions for reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a slot; decode a first SPS occasion, of the plurality of SPS occasions, to attempt to receive the PDSCH in the slot; and selectively decode a second SPS occasion, of the plurality of SPS occasions, to attempt to receive the PDSCH in the slot. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (70)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving signaling identifying a plurality of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations corresponding to a plurality of SPS occasions for reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a slot,

wherein the signaling does not indicate which SPS configuration, of the plurality of SPS configurations, is to be used for reception of the PDSCH;

buffering in-phase and quadrature (IQ) symbols associated with a bandwidth part of the slot and

decoding, based at least in part on buffering the IQ symbols, a subset of SPS configurations, of the plurality of SPS configurations, and a subset of SPS occasions, of the plurality of SPS occasions, sequentially, to attempt to receive the PDSCH in the slot.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first SPS configuration, of the plurality of SPS configurations, overlaps in time with a second SPS configuration of the plurality of SPS configurations.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the plurality of SPS configurations based at least in part on receiving the signaling.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein buffering the IQ symbols comprises:

buffering the IQ symbols within the bandwidth part of the slot.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

foregoing monitoring of a control channel in one or more slots during which the UE is decoding each SPS occasion and each SPS configuration sequentially.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein decoding the subset of SPS configurations and the subset of SPS occasions comprises:

decoding each SPS configuration, of the plurality of SPS configurations, and each SPS occasion, of the plurality of SPS occasions, sequentially, to attempt to receive the PDSCH in the slot.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein decoding the subset of SPS occasions, sequentially, comprises:

decoding a subsequent SPS occasion, of the subset of SPS occasions, based at least in part on not detecting data associated with a previous SPS occasions of the plurality of SPS occasions.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein decoding the subset of SPS SPS occasions, sequentially, comprises:

foregoing decoding a subsequent SPS occasion, of the plurality of SPS occasions, based at least in part on detecting data associated with a previous SPS occasion of the subset of SPS occasions.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing hybrid automatic repeat request feedback reporting using a single physical uplink control channel resource associated with the plurality of SPS configurations and the plurality of SPS occasions in the slot.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing hybrid automatic repeat request feedback reporting using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource of a plurality of PUCCH resources corresponding to the plurality of SPS configurations and the plurality of SPS occasions in the slot.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a time for reporting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) feedback as a response to the PDSCH is based at least in part on at least one of: a UE capability, a quantity of SPS occasions in the plurality of SPS occasions, or a quantity of symbols between an end of PDSCH reception and a beginning of an allocation for the HARQ feedback reporting.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein two or more of the plurality of SPS occasions are associated with a common hybrid automatic repeat request identifier.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein two or more of the plurality of SPS occasions are associated with two or more different hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) identifiers.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

reporting HARQ feedback for each SPS occasion, of the plurality of SPS occasions, of the slot.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

reporting HARQ feedback for each non-overlapping SPS occasion, of the plurality of SPS occasions, of the slot.

16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a dynamic grant with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) identifier corresponding to a HARQ identifier used in the slot after reporting HARQ feedback.

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a dynamic grant indicating a transport block transmission with a same hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) identifier as is used in the slot, and

overwriting an SPS occasion corresponding to the HARQ identifier based at least in part on the dynamic grant.

18. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a dynamic grant indicating a transport block transmission with a same hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) identifier as is used in the slot, and

stopping processing of SPS occasions within the slot based at least in part on the dynamic grant.

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

a memory; and

receive signaling identifying a plurality of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations corresponding to a plurality of SPS occasions for reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a slot,

decode, based at least in part on buffering the IQ symbols, a subset of SPS configurations, of the plurality of SPS configurations, and a subset of SPS occassions, of the plurality of SPS occasions, sequentially, to attempt to receive the PDSCH in the slot.
