Abstract

Aspects described herein relate to receiving downlink control information (DCI) scheduling or activating shared channel resources, determining, based on a first one in a set of multiple possible dynamic beta offsets included in a dynamic beta offset configuration, a beta offset for determining a number of the shared channel resources to be used to transmit uplink control information (UCI), and transmitting a shared data channel over the shared data channel resources, the shared data channel including the UCI. Other aspects relate to transmitting the DCI and receiving the shared data channel.

Claims (45)

1 . A method of wireless communication, comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 scheduling or activating shared channel resources, wherein the DCI format 0_0 does not include a beta offset field;

receiving a dynamic beta offset configuration indicating a set of multiple possible values for a dynamic beta offset, wherein the dynamic beta offset is for determining a number of the shared channel resources to be used to transmit uplink control information (UCI);

determining, based on a first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset, the dynamic beta offset; and

transmitting a shared data channel over the shared channel resources, the shared data channel including the UCI.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 schedules the shared channel resources.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 activates configured grant Type 2 resources for the shared data channel.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicates a table having associated indices, and wherein determining the dynamic beta offset based on the first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset comprises selecting one of the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset having a lowest index in the table.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the dynamic beta offset is based at least in part on determining that the DCI format 0_0 does not include an indication of selection of the dynamic beta offset.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicating the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset further indicates a semi-static beta offset, wherein determining the dynamic beta offset comprises determining the semi-static beta offset.

7 . A method of wireless communication, comprising:

transmitting downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 scheduling or activating shared channel resources, wherein the DCI format 0_0 does not include a beta offset field;

transmitting a dynamic beta offset configuration indicating a set of multiple possible values for a dynamic beta offset, wherein the dynamic beta offset is for determining a number of the shared channel resources to be used to receive uplink control information (UCI);

determining, based on a first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset, the dynamic beta offset; and

receiving a shared data channel over the shared channel resources, the shared data channel including the UCI.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 schedules the shared channel resources.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 activates configured grant Type 2 resources for the shared data channel.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicates a table having associated indices, and wherein determining the dynamic beta offset based on the first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset comprises selecting one of the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset having a lowest index in the table.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the dynamic beta offset is based at least in part on the DCI format 0_0 not including an indication of selection of the dynamic beta offset.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicating the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset further indicates a semi-static beta offset, wherein determining the dynamic beta offset comprises determining the semi-static beta offset.

13 . An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store instructions; and

one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 scheduling or activating shared channel resources, wherein the DCI format 0_0 does not include a beta offset field;

receive, via the transceiver, a dynamic beta offset configuration indicating a set of multiple possible values for a dynamic beta offset, wherein the dynamic beta offset is for determining a number of the shared channel resources to be used to transmit uplink control information (UCI);

determine, based on a first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset, the dynamic beta offset; and

transmit, via the transceiver, a shared data channel over the shared channel resources, the shared data channel including the UCI.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 schedules the shared channel resources.

15 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 activates configured grant Type 2 resources for the shared data channel.

16 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicates a table having associated indices, and wherein the one or more processors configured to determine the dynamic beta offset based on the first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset comprises the one or more processors configured to select one of the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset having a lowest index in the table.

17 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine the dynamic beta offset based at least in part on determining that the DCI format 0_0 does not include an indication of selection of the dynamic beta offset.

18 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicating the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset further indicates a semi-static beta offset, wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine the dynamic beta offset based on the semi-static beta offset.

19 . An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

transmit downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 scheduling or activating shared channel resources, wherein the DCI format 0 0 does not include a beta offset field;

transmit a dynamic beta offset configuration indicating a set of multiple possible values for a dynamic beta offset, wherein the dynamic beta offset is for determining a number of the shared channel resources to be used to receive uplink control information (UCI);

determine, based on a first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset, the dynamic beta offset; and

receive a shared data channel over the shared channel resources, the shared data channel including the UCI.

20 . The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 schedules the shared channel resources.

21 . The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the DCI format 0_0 activates configured grant Type 2 resources for the shared data channel.

22 . The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicates a table having associated indices, and wherein the one or more processors configured to determine the dynamic beta offset based on the first value in the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset comprises the one or more processors configured to select one of the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset having a lowest index in the table.

23 . The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine the dynamic beta offset based at least in part on the DCI format 0_0 not including an indication of selection of the dynamic beta offset.

24 . The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the dynamic beta offset configuration indicating the set of multiple possible values for the dynamic beta offset further indicates a semi-static beta offset, wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine the dynamic beta offset based on the semi-static beta offset.
