Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A UE may identify a capability for downlink control channel monitoring and uplink cancellation indication monitoring. The UE may transmit, to a base station, an indication of the identified uplink cancellation indication monitoring capability. The base station may receive the indication from the UE, and may configure monitoring occasions in a slot based on the received uplink cancellation indication monitoring capability. The base station may transmit via radio resource control signaling, and the UE may receive, a configuration which configures a number of monitoring occasions based on the uplink cancellation indication monitoring capability. The UE may then monitor the configured monitoring occasions according to the identified capability.

Claims (68)

1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

identifying a downlink control channel monitoring capability for the UE;

transmitting, to a base station, an indication of an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI) monitoring capability; and

monitoring for ULCIs in monitoring occasions based at least in part on the ULCI monitoring capability.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a configuration in a radio resource control message which configures ULCI monitoring occasions based at least in part on the ULCI monitoring capability.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying that the downlink control channel monitoring capability indicates a capability of monitoring for downlink control channel messages during a single monitoring occasion per slot; and

transmitting an indication of a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot based at least in part on the identifying.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the indication of a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot comprises an indication of a monitoring span gap and an indication of a monitoring span length.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

monitoring for ULCIs during a plurality of monitoring occasions per slot; and

monitoring for downlink control channel messages during a single monitoring occasion per slot, wherein the downlink control channel messages comprise control signaling that is different from the ULCIs.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting an indication of the downlink control channel monitoring capability, wherein the downlink control channel monitoring capability indicates a capability of monitoring for downlink control channel messages during multiple monitoring occasions per slot.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the indication of the ULCI monitoring capability and the transmitted indication of the downlink control channel monitoring capability implies a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

monitoring for ULCIs during a plurality of monitoring occasions per slot; and

monitoring for downlink control channel messages during a plurality of monitoring occasion per slot, wherein the downlink control channel messages comprise control signaling that is different from the ULCIs.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the downlink control channel monitoring capability comprises an indication of a monitoring span gap and an indication of a monitoring span length.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control channel monitoring capability comprises a physical downlink control channel monitoring capability.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the ULCI monitoring capability comprises a capability to receive ULCIs and to cancel uplink transmissions according to the ULCIs.

12. A method for wireless communications at a base station, comprising:

identifying a downlink control channel monitoring capability for a user equipment (UE);

receiving, from the UE, an indication of an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI) monitoring capability; and

configuring one or more monitoring occasions for ULCIs based at least in part on the ULCI monitoring capability.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

transmitting a configuration in a radio resource control message which configures ULCI monitoring occasions based at least in part on the ULCI monitoring capability.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

identifying that the downlink control channel monitoring capability indicates a capability of monitoring for downlink control channel messages during a single monitoring occasion per slot; and

receiving an indication of a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot based at least in part on the identifying.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the indication of a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot comprises an indication of a monitoring span gap and an indication of a monitoring span length.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

receiving an indication of the downlink control channel monitoring capability, wherein the downlink control channel monitoring capability indicates a capability of monitoring for downlink control channel messages during multiple monitoring occasions per slot.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

inferring a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot based at least in part on the received indication of the downlink control channel monitoring capability and the indication of the ULCI monitoring capability.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the downlink control channel monitoring capability comprises an indication of a monitoring span gap and an indication of a monitoring span length.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the downlink control channel monitoring capability comprises a physical downlink control channel monitoring capability.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the indication of the ULCI monitoring capability comprises a capability to receive ULCIs and to cancel uplink transmissions according to the ULCIs.

21. An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor,

memory in electronic communication with the processor; and

instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

identify a downlink control channel monitoring capability for the UE;

transmit, to a base station, an indication of an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI) monitoring capability; and

monitor for ULCIs in monitoring occasions based at least in part on the ULCI monitoring capability.

22. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

identify that the downlink control channel monitoring capability indicates a capability of monitoring for downlink control channel messages during a single monitoring occasion per slot; and

transmit an indication of a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot based at least in part on the identifying.

23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the indication of a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot comprises an indication of a monitoring span gap and an indication of a monitoring span length.

24. The apparatus of claim 21 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

transmit an indication of the downlink control channel monitoring capability, wherein the downlink control channel monitoring capability indicates a capability of monitoring for downlink control channel messages during multiple monitoring occasions per slot.

25. The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the indication of the ULCI monitoring capability and the transmitted indication of the downlink control channel monitoring capability implies a capability of monitoring for ULCIs during multiple monitoring occasions per slot.
