Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communication scheduling. An example method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station, one or more configurations indicating wireless communication resources including at least one of a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWP) or a plurality of component carriers (CCs); receiving, from the base station, control signaling indicating a scheduling offset to communicate with the base station via at last one of the BWPs within at least one of the CCs; determining a value of the scheduling offset based at least in part on a minimum scheduling offset value; and taking at least one action in response to the determination.

Claims (60)

1. A method of wireless communication by a user equipment, comprising:

receiving, from a base station, one or more configurations indicating wireless communication resources including at least one of a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWP) or a plurality of component carriers (CCs);

receiving, from the base station, control signaling indicating a scheduling offset to communicate with the base station via at last least one of the BWPs within at least one of the CCs, wherein the control signaling indicates to communicate with the base station via a target BWP that is different from an active BWP;

converting a minimum scheduling offset value associated with the active BWP to a numerology of the target BWP;

determining a value of the scheduling offset based at least in part on the converted minimum scheduling offset value; and

performing at least one action in response to the determination.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is determined based on a numerology of the active BWP among the plurality of BWPs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is selected among a plurality of minimum values.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is determined to have a same numerology as the scheduling offset.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is configured per BWP.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein converting the minimum scheduling offset value comprises converting the minimum scheduling offset value based at least in part on a ratio of the numerology of the target BWP to a numerology of the active BWP.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein converting the minimum scheduling offset value comprises converting the minimum scheduling offset value based at least in part on a product of the minimum scheduling offset value and the ratio.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, additional control signaling indicating an updated minimum scheduling offset value;

determining an application delay to apply the updated minimum scheduling offset value based on at least one of an absolute time value, a number of time-domain resources, or a BWP switch delay value; and

applying the updated minimum scheduling offset value based on the application delay.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the control signaling is received on the active BWP of a first component carrier and indicates to communicate via a target BWP of a second component carrier; and

the minimum scheduling offset value is configured according to a numerology of the active BWP of the second component carrier.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the at least one action comprises communicating with the base station via the target BWP if the value of the scheduling offset is greater than or equal to the converted minimum scheduling offset value.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the at least one action comprises treating the control signaling as invalid if the value of the scheduling offset is less than the minimum scheduling offset value.

12. A method of wireless communication by a user equipment, comprising:

receiving one or more configurations indicating wireless communication resources including at least one of a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWP) or a plurality of component carriers (CCs);

receiving control signaling indicating a scheduling offset to communicate with a base station via at least one of the BWPs within at least one of the CCs, wherein the control signaling indicates to communicate with the base station via a target BWP that is different from an active BWP;

converting a minimum scheduling offset value associated with the active BWP to a numerology of the target BWP; and

communicating with the base station via the target BWP in response to determining that a value of the scheduling offset is greater than or equal to the converted minimum scheduling offset value.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein converting the minimum scheduling offset value comprises converting the minimum scheduling offset value based at least in part on a ratio of the numerology of the target BWP to a numerology of the active BWP.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein converting the minimum scheduling offset value comprises converting the minimum scheduling offset value based at least in part on a product of the minimum scheduling offset value and the ratio.

15. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor and the memory being configured to:

receive, from a base station, one or more configurations indicating wireless communication resources including at least one of a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWP) or a plurality of component carriers (CCs),

receive, from the base station, control signaling indicating a scheduling offset to communicate with the base station via at last least one of the BWPs within at least one of the CCs, wherein the control signaling indicates to communicate with the base station via a target BWP that is different from an active BWP,

convert a minimum scheduling offset value associated with the active BWP to a numerology of the target BWP,

determine that a value of the scheduling offset based at least in part on the converted minimum scheduling offset value, and

perform at least one action in response to the determination.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is determined based on a numerology of the active BWP among the plurality of BWPs.

17. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is selected among a plurality of minimum values.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is determined to have a same numerology as the scheduling offset.

19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the minimum scheduling offset value is configured per BWP.

20. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein to convert the minimum scheduling offset value, the processor and the memory are further configured to convert the minimum scheduling offset value based at least in part on a ratio of the numerology of the target BWP to a numerology of the active BWP.

21. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein to convert the minimum scheduling offset value, the processor and the memory are further configured to convert the minimum scheduling offset value based at least in part on a product of the minimum scheduling offset value and the ratio.

22. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the processor and the memory are further configured to:

receive, from the base station, additional control signaling indicating an updated minimum scheduling offset value,

apply the updated minimum scheduling offset value based on the application delay.

23. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein:

the control signaling is received on the active BWP of a first component carrier and indicates to communicate via a target BWP of a second component carrier; and

the minimum scheduling offset value is configured according to a numerology of the active BWP of the second component carrier.
