Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information with a value in an information element that is associated with identifying an offset between a first downlink slot in which the downlink control information is received and a second downlink slot in which shared channel data is scheduled. The UE may communicate data after a duration associated with the value in the information element and without monitoring for a physical downlink control channel communication during the duration. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (51)

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

receiving downlink control information with a value in an information element that is associated with identifying an offset between a first downlink slot in which the downlink control information is received and a second downlink slot in which shared channel data is scheduled, wherein the downlink control information schedules a plurality of shared channel data transmissions associated with a plurality of offset values, and wherein the value in the information element is included in the plurality of offset values; and

communicating data after a duration associated with the value in the information element and without monitoring for a physical downlink control channel communication during the duration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the offset is a downlink offset parameter or an uplink offset parameter.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information element is associated with a time domain resource allocation configuration.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forgoing monitoring for the physical downlink control channel communication during the duration.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

communicating, during the duration, in one or more resources allocated for monitoring for the physical downlink control channel communication.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a physical downlink control channel skipping duration is based at least in part on the duration.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value in the information element maps to the duration based at least in part on the value being greater than 0 and the downlink control information being for cross-slot scheduling.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value in the information element maps to the duration based at least in part on the downlink control information being a first downlink control information of a discontinuous reception on duration.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value in the information element maps to the duration based at least in part on the downlink control information being received during a connected discontinuous reception mode on-duration start period.

10. A method of wireless communication performed by an apparatus of a network node, comprising:

transmitting downlink control information with a value in an information element that is associated with identifying an offset between a first downlink slot in which the downlink control information is received and a second downlink slot in which shared channel data is scheduled, wherein the value in the information element maps to a duration based at least in part on a physical downlink control channel adaptation indication codepoint value; and

communicating data after the duration associated with the value in the information element and without monitoring for a physical downlink control channel communication during the duration.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the offset is a downlink offset parameter or an uplink offset parameter.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information element is associated with a time domain resource allocation configuration.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

forgoing transmitting the physical downlink control channel communication during the duration.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

communicating, during the duration, in one or more resources allocated for transmitting for the physical downlink control channel communication.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein a physical downlink control channel skipping duration is based at least in part on the duration.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the value in the information element maps to the duration based at least in part on the value being greater than 0 and the downlink control information being for cross-slot scheduling.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the value in the information element maps to the duration based at least in part on the downlink control information being a first downlink control information of a discontinuous reception on duration.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the value in the information element maps to the duration based at least in part on the downlink control information being received during a connected discontinuous reception mode on-duration start period.

19. 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:

receive downlink control information with a value in an information element that is associated with identifying an offset between a first downlink slot in which the downlink control information is received and a second downlink slot in which shared channel data is scheduled, wherein the downlink control information schedules a plurality of shared channel data transmissions associated with a plurality of offset values, and wherein the value in the information element is included in the plurality of offset values; and

communicate data after a duration associated with the value in the information element and without monitoring for a physical downlink control channel communication during the duration.

20. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the duration is based at least in part on the offset or a k0 parameter.

21. The UE of claim 19 , wherein another downlink control information is detected after the duration has elapsed and before the second slot in which the shared channel data is scheduled; and

wherein the shared channel data is received in the second slot.

22. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive another downlink control information after the duration has elapsed and before the second slot in which the shared channel data is scheduled; and

receive another communication scheduled by the other downlink control information in the second slot rather than the shared channel data.

23. A network node for wireless communication, comprising: one or more memories; and

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

transmit downlink control information with a value in an information element that is associated with identifying an offset between a first downlink slot in which the downlink control information is received and a second downlink slot in which shared channel data is scheduled, wherein the value in the information element maps to a duration based at least in part on a physical downlink control channel adaptation indication codepoint value; and

communicate data after the duration associated with the value in the information element and without monitoring for a physical downlink control channel communication during the duration.

24. The network node of claim 23 , wherein the duration is based at least in part on the offset or a k0 parameter.

25. The network node of claim 23 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit another downlink control information after the duration has elapsed and before the second slot in which the shared channel data is scheduled; and

transmit another communication scheduled by the other downlink control information in the second slot rather than the shared channel data.
