Abstract

In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) for receiving a downlink control indicator (DCI) from a network entity; and configuring at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based on a determination that the DCI does not include the scheduling request indicator (SRI) field.

Claims (30)

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

receiving, from a network entity, a downlink control indicator (DCI) without a scheduling request indicator (SRI) field;

identifying, in response to the DCI not having the SRI field, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) pathloss reference signal (RS) resource index based on a mapping of a PUSCH pathloss RS identifier (ID) to a SRI PUSCH power control ID equal to zero; and

transmitting a PUSCH based on a pathloss measurement of RS resource identified by the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index comprises configuring the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index according to the PUSCH pathloss RS ID that is mapped to the SRI PUSCH power control ID equal to zero.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) to update the mapping between the PUSCH pathloss RS ID and the SRI PUSCH power control ID.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is formatted as a DCI format 0_1.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprises utilizing a downlink RS based on the PUSCH transmission for a downlink signal.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprises utilizing a pathloss RS for a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set including an SRS for usage of at least one of a codebook or a non-codebook associated with the PUSCH transmission.

7. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory storing instructions therein;

a transceiver; and

one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory and transceiver, the one or more processors being configured to execute the instructions to:

receive, from a network entity via the transceiver, a downlink control indicator (DCI) without a scheduling request indicator (SRI) field;

identify, in response to the DCI not having the SRI field, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) pathloss reference signal (RS) resource index based on a mapping of a PUSCH pathloss RS identifier (ID) to a SRI PUSCH power control ID equal to zero; and

transmit, via the transceiver, a PUSCH based on a pathloss measurement of RS resource identified by the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein identifying the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index comprises configuring the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index according to the PUSCH pathloss RS ID that is mapped to the SRI PUSCH power control ID equal to zero.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) to update the mapping between the PUSCH pathloss RS ID and the SRI PUSCH power control ID.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the DCI is formatted as a DCI format 0_1.

11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to utilize a downlink RS based on the PUSCH transmission for a downlink signal.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to utilize a pathloss RS for a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set including an SRS for usage of at least one of a codebook or a non-codebook associated with the PUSCH transmission.

13. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

means for receiving, from a network entity, a downlink control indicator (DCI) without a scheduling request indicator (SRI) field;

means for identifying, in response to the DCI not having the SRI field, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) pathloss reference signal (RS) resource index based on a mapping of a PUSCH pathloss RS identifier (ID) to a SRI PUSCH power control ID equal to zero; and

means for transmitting a PUSCH based on a pathloss measurement of RS resource identified by the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein identifying the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index comprises configuring the PUSCH pathloss RS resource index according to the PUSCH pathloss RS ID that is mapped to the SRI PUSCH power control ID equal to zero.

15. The UE of claim 13 , further comprising means for receiving a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) to update the mapping between the PUSCH pathloss RS ID and the SRI PUSCH power control ID.

16. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the DCI is formatted as a DCI format 0_1.

17. The UE of claim 13 , further comprises means for utilizing a downlink RS based on the one or more RSs of the PUSCH transmission for a downlink signal.

18. The UE of claim 13 , further comprises means for utilizing a pathloss RS for a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set including an SRS for usage of at least one of a codebook or a non-codebook associated with the PUSCH transmission.
