Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication of an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. The apparatus may receive, from a base station, an indication of a plurality of transmission schedules for at least one of a plurality of PUSCHs or a plurality of PDSCHs, the indication including a time gap prior to a transmission of each of the plurality of PUSCHs or each of the plurality of PDSCHs. The apparatus may also receive, from the base station, DCI identifying at least one transmission schedule for at least one PUSCH of the plurality of PUSCHs or at least one PDSCH of the plurality of PDSCHs. Further, the apparatus may transmit, to the base station, the at least one PUSCH or receive, from the base station, the at least one PDSCH based on the at least one transmission schedule in the received DCI.
