Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource configuration including a plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources for the UE. The UE may determine that a sub-slot PUCCH resource, of the plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources, for use with an uplink transmission crosses a slot boundary. The UE may adjust the uplink transmission based at least in part on determining that the sub-slot PUCCH resource crosses the slot boundary. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (49)

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

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) message,

the DCI message identifying a particular sub-slot physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource of a plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources at which to start transmission;

determining, based at least in part on the DCI message, a quantity of PUCCH repetitions to transmit; and

transmitting uplink control information (UCI) in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions, wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is transmitted in a same PUCCH resource in each of a set of consecutive sub-slots, and wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions does not cross a slot boundary.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource is a sequentially first sub-slot PUCCH resource of the plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) feedback.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that a sub-slot PUCCH resource crosses a slot boundary; and

adjusting the UCI based at least in part on determining that the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource crosses the slot boundary, wherein the UCI is transmitted further based at least in part on adjusting the UCI.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is determined based on the DCI message identifying the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI is transmitted on the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is determined further based on one or more configuration messages that include a radio resource control (RRC) message.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource is used for transmitting the UCI further based on a radio resource control (RRC) configuration.

9. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) message,

the DCI message identifying a particular sub-slot physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource of a plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources at which to start transmission;

determine, based at least in part on the DCI message, a quantity of PUCCH repetitions to transmit; and

transmit uplink control information (UCI) in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions, wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is transmitted in a same PUCCH resource in each of a set of consecutive sub-slots, and wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions does not cross a slot boundary.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource is a sequentially first sub-slot PUCCH resource of the plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the UCI includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) feedback.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is determined based on the DCI message identifying the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

13. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the UCI is transmitted on the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

14. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is determined further based on one or more configuration messages that include a radio resource control (RRC) message.

15. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource is used for transmitting the UCI further based on a radio resource control (RRC) configuration.

16. The UE of claim 9 , wherein, when transmitting the UCI in the plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources, the one or more processors are configured to:

transmit the UCI in the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) message,

the DCI message identifying a particular sub-slot physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource of a plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources at which to start transmission;

determine, based at least in part on the DCI message, a quantity of PUCCH repetitions to transmit; and

transmit uplink control information (UCI) in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions, wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is transmitted in a same PUCCH resource in each of a set of consecutive sub-slots, and wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions does not cross a slot boundary.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource is a sequentially first sub-slot PUCCH resource of the plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the UCI includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) feedback.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is determined based on the DCI message identifying the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 ,

wherein the UCI is transmitted on the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

22. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource is used for transmitting the UCI further based on a radio resource control (RRC) configuration.

23. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

means for receiving a downlink control information (DCI) message,

the DCI message identifying a particular sub-slot physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource of a plurality of sub-slot PUCCH resources at which to start transmission;

means for determining, based at least in part on the DCI message, a quantity of PUCCH repetitions to transmit; and

means for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions, wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is transmitted in a same PUCCH resource in each of a set of consecutive sub-slots, and wherein each PUCCH repetition in the quantity of PUCCH repetitions does not cross a slot boundary.

24. The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein the quantity of PUCCH repetitions is determined based on the DCI message identifying the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

25. The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein the UCI is transmitted on the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource.

26. The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein the particular sub-slot PUCCH resource is used for transmitting the UCI further based on a radio resource control (RRC) configuration.
