Abstract

A method for scheduling Physical Uplink Shared Charmel (PUSCH) is performed by a user equipment (UE). The method includes receiving a signal scheduling a first number of PUSCHs on a second number of frequency resources, wherein the first number of PUSCHs are scheduled with same time domain resource; and transmitting one or more PUSCHs of the first number of PUSCHs on the second number of frequency resources.

Claims (49)

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

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:

receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling that configures a maximum quantity of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCHs) schedulable by a downlink control information (DCI) format;

receive a DCI having the DCI format configured by the RRC signaling, the DCI scheduling a first quantity of PUSCHs on a second quantity of frequency resources, wherein:

the first quantity is greater than or equal to two,

the second quantity is greater than or equal to the first quantity, and

the first quantity of PUSCHs are scheduled with a same time domain resource; and

transmit one or more PUSCHs of the first quantity of PUSCHs on the second quantity of frequency resources.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises an indicator indicating a value of the first quantity.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second quantity of frequency resources comprises a quantity of subbands corresponding to the second quantity on one carrier.

4 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein the quantity of subbands are contiguous in a frequency domain.

5 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein each PUSCH of the first quantity of PUSCHs is scheduled on a respective subband of the quantity of subbands.

6 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the UE to perform a respective listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure on each subband of the quantity of subbands.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second quantity of frequency resources comprises a quantity of carriers corresponding to the second quantity.

8 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein the DCI includes a resource indication value (RIV) indicating the carriers of the quantity of carriers.

9 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein each PUSCH of the first quantity of PUSCHs is scheduled on a respective carrier of the quantity of carriers.

10 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first quantity is not larger than the second quantity.

11 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein each PUSCH of the first quantity of PUSCHs carries a respective transport block.

12 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein each PUSCH of the first quantity of PUSCHs carries a respective repetition of a same transport block.

13 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein a dedicated bit in the DCI format indicates whether a transport block carried by one or more of the first quantity of PUSCHs is to be repeated on each frequency resource of the second quantity of resources or is to be transmitted on the second quantity of resources without repetition in a frequency domain.

14 . A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the base station to:

transmit radio resource control (RRC) signaling that configures a maximum quantity of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCHs schedulable by a downlink control information (DCI) format;

transmit a DCI having the DCI format configured by the RRC signaling, the DCI scheduling a first quantity of PUSCHs on a second quantity of frequency resources, wherein:

the first quantity is greater than or equal to two,

the second quantity is greater than or equal to the first quantity, and

the first quantity of PUSCHs are scheduled with a same time domain resource; and

receive one or more PUSCHs of the first quantity of PUSCHs on the second quantity of frequency resources.

15 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the second quantity of frequency resources comprises a quantity of subbands corresponding to the second quantity on one carrier.

16 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the second quantity of frequency resources comprises a quantity of carriers corresponding to the second quantity.

17 . A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:

receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling that configures a maximum quantity of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCHs) schedulable by a downlink control information (DCI) format;

receive a DCI having the DCI format configured by the RRC signaling, the DCI scheduling a first quantity of PUSCHs on a second quantity of frequency resources, wherein:

the first quantity is greater than or equal to two,

the second quantity is greater than or equal to the first quantity, and

the first quantity of PUSCHs are scheduled with a same time domain resource; and

transmit one or more PUSCHs of the first quantity of PUSCHs on the second quantity of frequency resources.

18 . The processor of claim 17 , wherein the DCI comprises an indicator indicating a value of the first quantity.

19 . The processor of claim 17 , wherein the second quantity of frequency resources comprises a quantity of subbands corresponding to the second quantity on one carrier.

20 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling that configures a maximum quantity of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCHs) schedulable by a downlink control information (DCI) format;

receiving a DCI having the DCI format configured by the RRC signaling, the DCI scheduling a first quantity of PUSCHs on a second quantity of frequency resources, wherein:

the first quantity is greater than or equal to two,

the second quantity is greater than or equal to the first quantity, and

the first quantity of PUSCHs are scheduled with a same time domain resource; and

transmitting one or more PUSCHs of the first quantity of PUSCHs on the second quantity of frequency resources.
