Abstract

An example method for wireless communication includes: receiving, by a wireless station, an uplink transmission from a wireless device of a set of two or more wireless devices; determining, by the wireless station, a need for a higher priority uplink transmission; determining, by the wireless station, a minimum cancellation processing time for the set of two or more wireless devices; and transmitting an uplink cancellation request to the set of two or more wireless devices based on the minimum cancellation processing time.

Claims (51)

1. A wireless device comprising:

an antenna;

a radio operably coupled to the antenna; and

a processor operably coupled to the radio;

wherein the wireless device is configured to:

determine an amount of uplink monitoring resources that are available for uplink cancellation request monitoring and prioritization request monitoring, the uplink monitoring including:

resources for monitoring a wireless device search space (UESS), the UESS resources monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling for an uplink interval corresponding to a first priority for a first application running on the wireless device, or higher priority traffic of another application running on the wireless device, and allowing prioritization between applications with different priorities running on the wireless device, and

resources for monitoring a common search space (CSS), the CSS resources monitoring a Group Common PDCCH that includes an uplink cancellation indication that allows prioritization between wireless devices with different priorities;

determine a maximum amount of the uplink monitoring resources useable for monitoring for the uplink cancellation indication on the CSS;

split the monitoring resources between uplink cancellation monitoring and prioritization monitoring based on the determined maximum amount of the uplink monitoring useable for monitoring on the CSS;

transmit, to a wireless station, an indication of the split monitoring resources; and

receiving, from the wireless station, an indication of an uplink cancellation level when scheduling the PDCCH; and

monitor an amount of the CSS and UESS based on the split monitoring resources and the uplink cancelation level.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the uplink monitoring resources comprise blind decodes (BDs) and non-overlapping control channel element (CCE) monitoring.

3. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the splitting is based on a number of BDs available or a number of non-overlapping CCE monitoring instances available.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the amount of uplink monitoring resources available is predetermined.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the indicated amount of monitoring resources is one of:

no monitoring for uplink cancellation requests; and

no monitoring for prioritization requests.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the indicated amount of monitoring resources indicates a percentage split of resources available for monitoring for uplink cancellation requests and prioritization requests.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein a level of support for split monitoring is transmitted as a part of a resource schedule request or as a part of a wireless device capability signaling.

8. A method for uplink monitoring, comprising:

determining an amount of uplink monitoring resources that are available for uplink cancellation request monitoring and prioritization request monitoring, the uplink monitoring resources comprising:

resources for monitoring a wireless device search space (UESS), the UESS resources monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling for an uplink interval corresponding to a first priority for a first application running on the wireless device, or higher priority traffic of another application running on the wireless device, and allowing prioritization between applications with different priorities running on the wireless device, and

resources for monitoring a common search space (CSS), the CSS resources monitoring a Group Common PDCCH that includes an uplink cancellation indication that allows prioritization between wireless devices with different priorities;

determining a maximum amount of the uplink monitoring resources useable for monitoring for uplink cancellation requests on the CSS;

splitting the monitoring resources between uplink cancellation monitoring and prioritization monitoring based on the determined maximum amount of the uplink monitoring useable for monitoring on the CSS;

transmitting, to a wireless station, an indication of the split monitoring resources;

receiving, from the wireless station, an indication of an uplink cancellation level when scheduling the PDCCH; and

monitoring an amount of the CSS and wireless device search space (DESS) based on the split monitoring resources and the uplink cancellation level.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the uplink monitoring resources comprise blind decodes (BDs) and non-overlapping control channel element (CCE) monitoring.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the indicated amount of monitoring resources indicates a percentage split of resources available for monitoring for uplink cancellation requests and prioritization requests.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the indicated amount of monitoring resources is one of:

no monitoring for uplink cancellation requests; and

no monitoring for prioritization requests.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein a level of support for split monitoring is transmitted as a part of a resource schedule request or as a part of a wireless device capability signaling.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processor of a device to:

determine an amount of uplink monitoring resources that are available for uplink cancellation request monitoring and prioritization request monitoring, the uplink monitoring including:

resources for monitoring a wireless device search space (UESS), the UESS resources monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling for an uplink interval corresponding to a first priority for a first application running on the wireless device, or higher priority traffic of another application running on the wireless device, and allowing prioritization between applications with different priorities running on the wireless device, and

resources for monitoring a common search space (CSS), the CSS resources monitoring a Group Common PDCCH that includes an uplink cancellation indication that allows prioritization between wireless devices with different priorities;

determine a maximum amount of the uplink monitoring resources useable for monitoring for the uplink cancellation indication on the CSS;

split the monitoring resources between uplink cancellation monitoring and prioritization monitoring based on the determined maximum amount of the uplink monitoring useable for monitoring on the CSS;

transmit, to a wireless station, an indication of the split monitoring resources;

receiving, from the wireless station, an indication of an uplink cancellation level when scheduling the PDCCH; and

monitor an amount of the CSS and UESS based on the split monitoring resources and the uplink cancellation level.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the uplink monitoring resources comprise blind decodes (BDs) and non-overlapping control channel element (CCE) monitoring.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indicated amount of monitoring resources indicates a percentage split of resources available for monitoring for uplink cancellation requests and prioritization requests.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the indicated amount of monitoring resources is one of:

no monitoring for uplink cancellation requests; and

no monitoring for prioritization requests.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein a level of support for split monitoring is transmitted as a part of a resource schedule request or as a part of a wireless device capability signaling.
