Abstract

A method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a plurality of uplink configured grant (UL-CG) configurations and receiving, by the UE, an UL-CG. The method further includes selecting, based on a resource configuration associated with a slot, an UL-CG configuration from among the plurality of UL-CG configurations for an occasion of the UL-CG that is to occur during the slot. The method further includes performing an uplink transmission during the occasion of the UL-CG based on the selected UL-CG configuration.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein one or more of the plurality of UL-CG configurations are associated with respective a slot offset of the particular slot format and with a respective slot periodicity of the particular slot format.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of UL-CG configurations are not associated with an uplink bandwidth (UL BW) or with an uplink bandwidth part (UL BWP) index, and wherein the plurality of UL-CG configurations are independent of the particular slot format and are applicable to the slot independently of the particular slot format.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the particular slot format indicates one or more uplink resources that are associated with the UL-CG configuration, and wherein the transmitter is further configured to perform a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission using the one or more uplink resources.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein at least some of the plurality of UL-CG configurations are associated with a priority scheme, and wherein the UL-CG is selected for the PUSCH transmission based on a priority ranking of the UL-CG within the priority scheme.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein each UL-CG configuration of the plurality of UL-CG configurations is associated with a respective particular priority ranking of the priority scheme irrespective of whether the UL-CG configuration is associated with a common resource as a downlink channel or a guard band.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the at least some of the plurality of UL-CG configurations correspond to UL-CG configurations that are not associated with a common resource as a downlink channel or a guard band.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to skip one or more resources of the UL-CG configuration based on a determination that at least one resource associated with the UL-CG configuration is further associated with a downlink channel or a guard band.

15. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive an indication of the particular slot format.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the indication includes a slot format indicator (SFI) indicating the particular slot format.

17. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each UL-CG configuration of the plurality of UL-CG configurations is associated with one or more of a respective uplink bandwidth (UL BW) or a respective uplink bandwidth part (UL BWP) index.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of UL-CG configurations include at least one UL-CG configuration for non-duplex uplink slots, and wherein the plurality of UL-CG configurations further include at least one other UL-CG configuration for full duplex slots that are associated with one or more particular UL BWs and with one or more particular UL BWPs.

19. A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
