Supplementary uplink transmissions in wireless systems
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for uplink (UL) transmissions in wireless systems. The systems, methods and instrumentalities may include a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) with a receiver configured to receive one or more uplink (UL) grants that may include allocations associated with a regular UL (RUL) carrier and a supplementary UL (SUL) carrier. The RUL and SUL carriers may be associated with a common downlink (DL) carrier of a serving cell. The WTRU may include a processor configured to select data from one or more logical channels for transmission in accordance with the allocations. The WTRU may include a transmitter configured to transmit data from one logical channel on the RUL carrier and to transmit data from another logical channel on the SUL carrier in accordance with the allocations.
1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising a processor and memory, the processor and memory configured to:
receive configuration information, the configuration information indicating that data corresponding to a first set of one or more logical channels can be transmitted using a first type of uplink (UL) grant and that data corresponding to a second set of one or more logical channels can be transmitted using a second type of UL grant;
receive a first UL grant and a second UL grant, wherein the first UL grant and the second UL grant at least partially overlap in a time domain, the first UL grant corresponds to the first type of UL grant, and the second UL grant corresponds to the second type of UL grant;
determine that the first set of one or more logical channels comprises a first logical channel that has data available for transmission, the first logical channel being associated with a first priority;
determine that the second set of one or more logical channels comprises a second logical channel that has data available for transmission, the second logical channel being associated with a second priority, the first priority being higher than the second priority;
prioritize the first UL grant over the second UL grant based on the first priority being higher than the second priority; and
transmit data associated with the first set of one or more logical channels in accordance with the first UL grant based on prioritizing the first UL grant over the second UL grant.
2. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor and memory being configured to prioritize the first UL grant over the second UL grant comprises the processor and memory being configured to ignore the second UL grant.
3. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor and memory are configured to receive at least one of the first or second UL grant via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
4. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor and memory are configured to receive at least one of the first or second UL grant via downlink control information (DCI).
5. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the first logical channel corresponds to a highest priority logical channel with data available for transmission of the first set of one or more logical channels, and the second logical channel corresponds to a highest priority logical channel with data available for transmission of the second set of one or more logical channels.
6. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the first UL grant is associated with a first UL transmission resource and the second UL grant is associated with a second UL transmission resource.
7. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor and memory are configured to receive the configuration information in a radio resource control (RRC) message.
8. The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first UL grant or the second UL grant is a configured grant.
9. A method implemented by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information, the configuration information indicating that data corresponding to a first set of one or more logical channels can be transmitted using a first type of uplink (UL) grant and that data corresponding to a second set of one or more logical channels can be transmitted using a second type of UL grant;
receiving a first UL grant and a second UL grant, wherein the first UL grant and the second UL grant at least partially overlap in a time domain, the first UL grant corresponds to the first type of UL grant, and the second UL grant corresponds to the second type of UL grant;
determining that the first set of one or more logical channels comprises a first logical channel that has data available for transmission, the first logical channel being associated with a first priority;
determining that the second set of one or more logical channels comprises a second logical channel that has data available for transmission, the second logical channel being associated with a second priority, the first priority being higher than the second priority;
prioritizing the first UL grant over the second UL grant based on the first priority being higher than the second priority; and
transmitting data associated with the first set of one or more logical channels in accordance with the first UL grant based on prioritizing the first UL grant over the second UL grant.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein prioritizing the first UL grant over the second UL grant comprises ignoring the second UL grant.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first or second UL grant is received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first or second UL grant is received via downlink control information (DCI).
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first logical channel corresponds to a highest priority logical channel with data available for transmission of the first set of one or more logical channels, and the second logical channel corresponds to a highest priority logical channel with data available for transmission of the second set of one or more logical channels.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first UL grant is associated with a first UL transmission resource and the second UL grant is associated with a second UL transmission resource.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information is received in a radio resource control (RRC) message.
16. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first UL grant or the second UL grant is a configured grant.
