Abstract

Apparatus, methods, and computer program products for PHY priority for wireless communications are provided. An example apparatus may multiplex a first uplink control information transmission based on a first uplink control information resource and a second uplink control information transmission based on a second uplink control information resource that overlaps in time with the first uplink control information resource, at least one of the first uplink control information resource and the second uplink control information resource being for full-duplex communication. The example apparatus may determine, based on applying a multiplexing rule on the full-duplex communication, whether to use the first uplink control information resource associated with a first beam or the second uplink control information resource associated with a second beam. The example apparatus may transmit a multiplexed uplink control information transmission using a determined uplink control information resource based on the multiplexing rule.

Claims (23)

1 . A method of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

determining, based on applying a multiplexing rule on a full-duplex communication to determine an uplink beam to receive a multiplexed uplink control information transmission of a first uplink control information transmission associated with a first uplink beam and a second uplink control information transmission associated with a second uplink beam, at least one of a first uplink control information resource for the first uplink control information transmission and a second uplink control information resource for the second uplink control information transmission being for the full-duplex communication, wherein the multiplexing rule indicates whether to use the first uplink beam associated with the first uplink control information resource or the second uplink beam associated with the second uplink control information resource based at least in part on whether the first uplink control information resource is for half-duplex communication or full-duplex communication and whether the second uplink control information resource is for half-duplex communication or full-duplex communication; and

receiving the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the determined uplink beam based on the multiplexing rule.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the multiplexed uplink control information transmission further comprises:

receiving the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the second uplink beam associated with the second uplink control information resource based on the first uplink control information resource being for half-duplex communication and the second uplink control information resource being for the full-duplex communication.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the multiplexed uplink control information transmission further comprises:

receiving the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the first uplink beam associated with the first uplink control information resource based on the second uplink control information resource being for a half-duplex communication and the first uplink control information resource being for the full-duplex communication.

4 . An apparatus of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to cause the apparatus to:

determine, based on applying a multiplexing rule on a full-duplex communication to determine an uplink beam to receive a multiplexed uplink control information transmission of a first uplink control information transmission associated with a first uplink beam and a second uplink control information transmission associated with a second uplink beam, at least one of a first uplink control information resource for the first uplink control information transmission and a second uplink control information resource for the second uplink control information transmission being for the full-duplex communication, wherein the multiplexing rule indicates whether to use the first uplink beam associated with the first uplink control information resource or the second uplink beam associated with the second uplink control information resource based at least in part on whether the first uplink control information resource is for half-duplex communication or full-duplex communication and whether the second uplink control information resource is for half-duplex communication or full-duplex communication; and

receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the determined uplink beam based on the multiplexing rule.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission the at least one processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the second uplink beam associated with the second uplink control information resource based on the first uplink control information resource being for half-duplex communication and the second uplink control information resource being for the full-duplex communication.

6 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission the at least one processor is further configured to cause the apparatus to:

receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the first uplink beam associated with the first uplink control information resource based on the second uplink control information resource being for half-duplex communication and the first uplink control information resource being for the full-duplex communication.

7 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code at a base station, the code when executed by a processor causes the processor to:

determine, based on applying a multiplexing rule on a full-duplex communication to determine an uplink beam to receive a multiplexed uplink control information transmission of a first uplink control information transmission associated with a first uplink beam and a second uplink control information transmission associated with a second uplink beam, at least one of a first uplink control information resource for the first uplink control information transmission and a second uplink control information resource for the second uplink control information transmission being for the full-duplex communication, wherein the multiplexing rule indicates whether to use the first uplink beam associated with the first uplink control information resource or the second uplink beam associated with the second uplink control information resource based at least in part on whether the first uplink control information resource is for half-duplex communication or full-duplex communication and whether the second uplink control information resource is for half-duplex communication or full-duplex communication; and

receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the determined uplink beam based on the multiplexing rule.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein to cause the processor to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission the code when executed by the processor further causes the processor to:

receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the second uplink beam associated with the second uplink control information resource based on the first uplink control information resource being for half-duplex communication and the second uplink control information resource being for the full-duplex communication.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein to cause the processor to receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission the code when executed by the processor further causes the processor to:

receive the multiplexed uplink control information transmission using the first uplink beam associated with the first uplink control information resource based on the second uplink control information resource being for half-duplex communication and the first uplink control information resource being for the full-duplex communication.
