Abstract

Aspects described herein relate to configuring devices with multiple uplink grants, where the devices may be able to determine whether to interrupt communications of one uplink grant for communications of another uplink grant.

Claims (44)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, an indication of one of: whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant is supported; or whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant is supported;

initiating a transmission, to the base station, of a first uplink communication based on a first uplink grant;

receiving, from the base station, a second uplink grant for transmitting a second uplink communication, wherein resources of the second uplink grant overlap with resources of the first uplink grant in time or frequency; and

interrupting, based on the indication, the transmission of the first uplink communication to transmit the second uplink communication over the resources of the second uplink grant including at least a portion of the resources of the second uplink grant that overlap with the resources of the first uplink grant, wherein the first uplink grant is one of a dynamic uplink grant or a configured uplink grant and the second uplink grant is the other one of the dynamic uplink grant or the configured uplink grant.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein interrupting the transmission of the first uplink communication includes stopping the transmission of the first uplink communications over a first symbol that is overlapped by the resources of the second uplink grant.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the second uplink communication comprises transmitting the second uplink communication beginning at a first overlapping symbol of the second uplink grant that overlaps the resources of the first uplink grant.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein interrupting the transmission of the first uplink communication is based at least in part on determining that the second uplink communication is associated with a higher priority than the first uplink communication.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein interrupting the transmission of the first uplink communication is based at least in part on the first uplink grant being the dynamic uplink grant and the second uplink grant being the configured uplink grant.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein interrupting the transmission of the first uplink communication is based at least in part on the first uplink grant being the configured uplink grant and the second uplink grant being the dynamic uplink grant.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein interrupting the transmission of the first uplink communication is further based at least in part on determining that the second uplink grant is received at least a number of symbols before a first symbol indicated by the first uplink grant for the first uplink communication to be interrupted.

8. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, from a device, an indication of one of: whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant is supported; or whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant is supported;

transmitting, to the device, a first uplink grant indicating resources over which to transmit a first uplink communication;

determining, based on the indication, whether the device is capable of interrupting low priority uplink communications to transmit high priority uplink communications;

generating, based on whether the device is capable of interrupting low priority uplink communications to transmit high priority uplink communications, a second uplink grant indicating resources over which to transmit a second uplink communication; and

transmitting, to the device, the second uplink grant.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the device is capable of interrupting comprises determining that the device is not capable of interrupting, and wherein generating the second uplink grant comprises generating the second uplink grant to be received a number of symbols before a first symbol of the resources of the first uplink grant.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the device is capable of interrupting comprises determining that the device is capable of interrupting, and wherein generating the second uplink grant comprises generating the second uplink grant to indicate resources overlapping with the resources of the first uplink grant.

11. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store instructions; and

one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory and the transceiver, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

transmit, to a base station, an indication of one of: whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant is supported; or whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant is supported;

initiate transmission, to the base station, of a first uplink communication based on a first uplink grant;

receive, from the base station, a second uplink grant for transmitting a second uplink communication, wherein resources of the second uplink grant overlap with resources of the first uplink grant in time or frequency; and

interrupt, based on the indication, the transmission of the first uplink communication to transmit the second uplink communication over the resources of the second uplink grant including at least a portion of the resources of the second uplink grant that overlap with the resources of the first uplink grant, wherein the first uplink grant is one of a dynamic uplink grant or a configured uplink grant and the second uplink grant is the other one of the dynamic uplink grant or the configured uplink grant.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to interrupt the transmission of the first uplink communication at least in part by stopping the transmission of the first uplink communication over a first symbol that is overlapped by the resources of the second uplink grant.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to transmit the second uplink communication at least in part by transmitting the second uplink communication beginning at a first overlapping symbol of the second uplink grant that overlaps the resources of the first uplink grant.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to interrupt the transmission of the first uplink communication based at least in part on determining that the second uplink communication is associated with a higher priority than the first uplink communication.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to interrupt the first uplink communication based at least in part on the first uplink grant being the dynamic uplink grant and the second uplink grant being the configured uplink grant.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to interrupt the first uplink communication based at least in part on the first uplink grant being the configured uplink grant and the second uplink grant being the dynamic uplink grant.

17. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to interrupt the first uplink communication further based at least in part on determining that the second uplink grant is received at least a number of symbols before a first symbol indicated by the first uplink grant for the first uplink communication to be interrupted.

18. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store instructions; and

one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory and the transceiver, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

receive, from a device, an indication of one of: whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant is supported; or whether interrupting a low priority uplink communication over resources of a dynamic grant to transmit a high priority uplink communication over resources of a configured grant is supported;

transmit, to the device, a first uplink grant indicating resources over which to transmit a first uplink communication;

determine, based on the indication, whether the device is capable of interrupting low priority uplink communications to transmit high priority uplink communications;

generate, based on whether the device is capable of interrupting low priority uplink communications to transmit high priority uplink communications, a second uplink grant indicating resources over which to transmit a second uplink communication; and

transmit, to the device, the second uplink grant.

19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine that the device is not capable of interrupting, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to generate the second uplink grant to be received a number of symbols before a first symbol of the resources of the first uplink grant.

20. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine that the device is capable of interrupting, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to generate the second uplink grant to indicate resources overlapping with the resources of the first uplink grant.
