Abstract

A method of semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) release, comprising: receiving, by a user equipment (UE), one or more occasions of SPS physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) over multiple slots for a transport block (TB) according to an SPS configuration; receiving, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a downlink control information (DCI) format such that an end of a last symbol of the PDCCH is received before or at a same time as an end of a last symbol of a first occasion of a received SPS PDSCH; and releasing, by the UE, the SPS configuration in response to receiving the PDCCH.

Claims (34)

1. A method of semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) release, the method comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), one or more occasions of SPS physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) over multiple slots for a transport block (TB) according to an SPS configuration;

receiving, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a downlink control information (DCI) format such that an end of a last symbol of the PDCCH is received before or at a same time as an end of a last symbol of a first occasion of a received SPS PDSCH; and

releasing, by the UE, the SPS configuration in response to receiving the PDCCH and based on the PDCCH including a first index value that indicates the SPS configuration, the PDCCH including a second index value, different from the first index value, that indicates a second SPS configuration for release, wherein the PDCCH includes the first index value and the second index value based on a priority of the SPS configuration matching a priority of the second SPS configuration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH indicates a release of the SPS PDSCHs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH is configured with an aggregation factor (AF), wherein AF≥1 on a PDSCH cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH is configured with an aggregation factor (AF), wherein AF=1 on a PDSCH cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE stops PDSCH decoding and does not generate HARQ-ACK feedback information for the received occasions of SPS PDSCHs.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein an acknowledgment or no-acknowledgment (A/N) of the PDCCH and an A/N of the SPS PDSCH are mapped to a same physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE receives the PDCCH before an end of the SPS PDSCH occasions among repetitions.

8. A system for semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) release, the system comprising:

at least one memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:

receive one or more occasions of SPS physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) over multiple slots for a transport block (TB) according to an SPS configuration;

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a downlink control information (DCI) format such that an end of a last symbol of the PDCCH is received before or at a same time as an end of a last symbol of a first occasion of a received SPS PDSCH; and

release the SPS configuration in response to receiving the PDCCH and based on the PDCCH including a first index value that indicates the SPS configuration, the PDCCH including a second index value, different from the first index value, that indicates a second SPS configuration for release, wherein the PDCCH includes the first index value and the second index value based on a priority of the SPS configuration matching a priority of the second SPS configuration.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the PDCCH indicates a release of the SPS PDSCH.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the PDSCH is configured with an aggregation factor (AF), wherein AF≥1 on a PDSCH cell.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the PDSCH is configured with an aggregation factor (AF), wherein AF=1 on a PDSCH cell.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to stop PDSCH decoding and not generate HARQ-ACK feedback information for the received occasions of SPS PDSCHs.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein an acknowledgment or no-acknowledgment (A/N) of the PDCCH and an A/N of the SPS PDSCH are mapped to a same physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the PDCCH is received before an end of the SPS PDSCH occasions among repetitions.

15. A user equipment (UE) configured for semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) release, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive one or more occasions of SPS physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) over multiple slots for a transport block (TB) according to an SPS configuration,

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a downlink control information (DCI) format such that an end of a last symbol of the PDCCH is received before or at a same time as an end of a last symbol of a first occasion of a received SPS PDSCH, and

release the SPS configuration in response to receiving the PDCCH and based on the PDCCH including a first index value that indicates the SPS configuration, the PDCCH including a second index value, different from the first index value, that indicates a second SPS configuration for release, wherein the PDCCH includes the first index value and the second index value based on a priority of the SPS configuration matching a priority of the second SPS configuration.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein:

the PDCCH indicates a release of the SPS PDSCH; and

the UE receives the PDCCH before an end of the SPS PDSCH occasions among repetitions.

17. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the PDSCH is configured with an aggregation factor (AF), wherein AF≥1 on a PDSCH cell.

18. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the PDSCH is configured with an aggregation factor (AF), wherein AF=1 on a PDSCH cell.

19. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the UE stops a PDSCH decoding and does not generate HARQ-ACK feedback information for the received occasions of SPS PDSCHs.

20. The UE of claim 15 , wherein an acknowledgment or no-acknowledgment (A/N) of the PDCCH and an A/N of the SPS PDSCH are mapped to a same physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
