Abstract

Various embodiments herein provide techniques to configure different time/frequency region (TFR) configuration schemes for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) cancellation indication (CI) signaling. Additionally, embodiments provide techniques to configure different payload construction method (PCM) schemes for PUSCH CI signaling. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Claims (47)

1. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors cause a user equipment (UE) to:

receive a radio resource control (RRC) message that includes time-frequency resource set (TFRS) configuration information to be used for cancellation indication signaling to cancel transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

receive a cancellation indication to indicate, based on the TFRS configuration information, one or more time-frequency resources that are preempted; and

cancel transmission of the PUSCH on the indicated one or more time-frequency resources.

2. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the TFRS configuration information includes:

time-frequency information to define a time-frequency region for the cancellation indication signaling;

serving cell information to indicate one or more parameters for cancellation indication in a serving cell; and

message information to indicate one or more parameters for a downlink control information (DCI) message that includes the cancellation indication.

3. The one or more NTCRM of claim 2 , wherein the time-frequency information includes one or more of:

a starting symbol for the time-frequency region;

a time duration of the time-frequency region;

a time granularity of the time-frequency region;

a frequency range of the time-frequency region; or

a number of frequency partitions in the time-frequency region.

4. The one or more NTCRM of claim 2 , wherein the serving cell information includes one or more of:

a serving cell ID of the serving cell;

a supplementary uplink (SUL) indicator to indicate whether the TFRS configuration information is for an SUL or a normal uplink carrier of the serving cell; or

a position indicator to indicate a location of a payload of the cancellation indication in an associated DCI.

5. The one or more NTCRM of claim 2 , wherein the message information includes: a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) to be used for the DCI; and a payload size of the DCI.

6. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the UE to receive a method indicator to indicate whether a cancellation indication method to be used is a dynamic method or a semi-static method.

7. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the TFRS configuration information includes configuration information for a plurality of time-frequency region (TFR) configurations, and wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the UE to receive a TFR indicator to indicate one of the TFR configurations that is to be used.

8. The one or more NTCRM of claim 7 , wherein the TFR indicator is received via a downlink control information (DCI).

9. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the TFRS configuration information includes configuration information for only one time-frequency region.

10. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors cause a next generation Node B (gNB) to:

encode, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message to indicate time-frequency resource set (TFRS) configuration information to be used for cancellation indication signaling; and

encode, for transmission to the UE, a cancellation indication to indicate, based on the TFRS configuration information, one or more time-frequency resources on which the UE is to cancel transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

11. The one or more NTCRM of claim 10 , wherein the TFRS configuration information includes:

time-frequency information to define a time-frequency region for the cancellation indication signaling;

serving cell information to indicate one or more parameters for cancellation indication in a serving cell; and

message information to indicate one or more parameters for a downlink control information (DCI) message that includes the cancellation indication.

12. The one or more NTCRM of claim 11 , wherein the time-frequency information includes one or more of:

a starting symbol for the time-frequency region;

a time duration of the time-frequency region;

a time granularity of the time-frequency region; a frequency range of the time-frequency region; or

a number of frequency partitions in the time-frequency region.

13. The one or more NTCRM of claim 11 , wherein the serving cell information includes one or more of:

a serving cell ID of the serving cell;

a supplementary uplink (SUL) indicator to indicate whether the TFRS configuration information is for an SUL or a normal uplink carrier of the serving cell; or

a position indicator to indicate a location of a payload of the cancellation indication in an associated DCI.

14. The one or more NTCRM of claim 11 , wherein the message information includes:

a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) to be used for the DCI; and

a payload size of the DCI.

15. The one or more NTCRM of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the gNB to encode, for transmission to the UE, a method indicator to indicate whether a cancellation indication method to be used is a dynamic method or a semi-static method.

16. The one or more NTCRM of claim 10 , wherein the TFRS configuration information includes configuration information for a plurality of time-frequency region (TFR) configurations, and wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the gNB to receive a TFR indicator to indicate one of the TFR configurations that is to be used.

17. The one or more NTCRM of claim 16 , wherein the TFR indicator is transmitted via a downlink control information (DCI).

18. The one or more NTCRM of claim 10 , wherein the TFRS configuration information includes configuration information for only one time-frequency region.

19. The one or more NTCRM of claim 10 , wherein the UE is a first UE, and wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the gNB to determine that a second UE is to perform an uplink transmission in the one or more time-frequency resources, wherein the cancellation indication is transmitted based on the determination.
