Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may select first resources to skip in each grant occasion of multiple grant occasions for communications on a physical uplink channel. The UE may transmit uplink control information (UCI) that indicates the first resources or second resources that are not to be skipped in each grant occasion of the multiple grant occasions. The UE may transmit the communications in the multiple grant occasions using the second resources and not the first resources. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (54)

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

one or more memories; and

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

select first resources to skip within each configured grant (CG) occasion of multiple CG occasions for communications on a physical uplink channel;

transmit a single flexible uplink skipping (FUS) uplink control information (UCI) (UCI-FUS) that indicates the first resources or second resources that are not to be skipped within each CG occasion of the multiple CG occasions; and

transmit the communications in the multiple CG occasions using resources other than the first resources.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the single UCI-FUS indicates a quantity of the multiple CG occasions.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

transmit a cancellation indication that indicates that the first resources are no longer skipped in CG occasions; and

transmit additional communications without skipping resources.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first resources include one or more of time resources or frequency resources.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to select the first resources, are configured to receive an indication of a skipping pattern of the first resources or a bitmap of the first resources in each CG occasion.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes a bitmap that indicates the first resources within each CG occasion of the multiple CG occasions.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes an index that corresponds to a skipping pattern of the first resources.

8. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the single UCI-FUS indicates one or more time and frequency bitmaps for the first resources in a specified quantity of retransmissions.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein a quantity of most significant bits in the single UCI-FUS indicate the one or more time and frequency bitmaps.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes an index that corresponds to the one or more time and frequency bitmaps.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the one or more time and frequency bitmaps are associated with a frequency hopping scheme.

12. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the single UCI-FUS, are configured to transmit the single UCI-FUS before an initial transmission in the multiple CG occasions, and wherein the first resources apply to retransmissions in the multiple CG occasions.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes a bit that indicates whether the first resources apply to each of the multiple CG occasions.

14. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the multiple CG occasions include CGs for transmissions on a physical uplink shared channel.

15. A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:

one or more memories; and

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

receive a single flexible uplink skipping (FUS) uplink control information (UCI) (UCI-FUS) that indicates first resources or second resources of multiple configured grant (CG) occasions, the first resources within each CG occasion being skipped for communications on a physical uplink channel and the second resources not being skipped;

receive the communications in the multiple CG occasions; and

decode the communications in resources other than the first resources based at least in part on the single UCI-FUS.

16. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the single UCI-FUS indicates a quantity of the multiple CG occasions.

17. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

receive a cancellation indication that indicates that the first resources are no longer skipped in CG occasions; and

decode additional communications without skipping resources.

18. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to transmit an indication of a skipping pattern of the first resources or bitmap of the first resources in each grant occasion.

19. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes a bitmap that indicates the first resources in each CG occasion for the multiple CG occasions, and wherein the one or more processors, to decode the communications, are configured to skip decoding in the first resources.

20. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes an index that corresponds to a skipping pattern of the first resources, and

wherein the one or more processors, to decode the communications, are configured to skip decoding in the skipping pattern that corresponds to the index.

21. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the single UCI-FUS indicates one or more time and frequency bitmaps for the first resources in a specified quantity of retransmissions, and

wherein the one or more processors, to decode the communications, are configured to skip decoding in the first resources for the specified quantity of retransmissions.

22. The network entity of claim 21 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes an index that corresponds to the one or more time and frequency bitmaps.

23. The network entity of claim 21 , wherein the one or more time and frequency bitmaps are associated with a frequency hopping scheme.

24. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors, to receive the single UCI-FUS, are configured to receive the single UCI-FUS before an initial transmission in the multiple CG occasions, and wherein the one or more processors, to decode the communications, are configured to skip decoding in the first resources for retransmissions in the multiple CG occasions.

25. The network entity of claim 24 , wherein the single UCI-FUS includes a bit that indicates whether the first resources apply to each of the multiple CG occasions.

26. The network entity of claim 15 , wherein the multiple CG occasions include CGs for transmissions on a physical uplink shared channel.

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

selecting first resources to skip within each configured grant (CG) occasion of multiple CG occasions for communications on a physical uplink channel;

transmitting a single flexible uplink skipping (FUS) uplink control information (UCI) (UCI-FUS) that indicates the first resources or second resources that are not to be skipped within each grant-CG occasion of the multiple grant-CG occasions; and

transmitting the communications in the multiple CG occasions using resources other than the first resources.

28. The method of claim 27 , wherein the single UCI-FUS indicates a quantity of the multiple CG occasions.

29. The method of claim 27 , further comprising:

transmitting a cancellation indication that indicates that the first resources are no longer skipped in CG occasions; and

transmitting additional communications without skipping resources.

30. A method of wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:

receiving a single flexible uplink skipping (FUS) uplink control information (UCI) (UCI-FUS) that indicates first resources or second resources of multiple configured grant (CG) occasions, the first resources within each CG occasion being skipped for communications on a physical uplink channel and the second resources not being skipped;

receiving the communications in the multiple CG occasions; and

decoding the communications in resources other than the first resources based at least in part on the single UCI-FUS.
