Abstract

A wireless communication method includes receiving, by a wireless communication device, a scheduling grant that comprises a first indicator and a second indicator to schedule a plurality of uplink data transmission instances; and transmitting, by the wireless communication device, the plurality of uplink data transmission instances that correspond to at least one of a first resource set or a second resource set based on the first indicator and the second indicator.

transmitting, by the wireless communication device, the plurality of uplink data transmission instances that correspond to at least one of a first resource set or a second resource set based on the first indicator and the second indicator.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second indicator comprises:

a first value indicating that the plurality of uplink data transmission instances correspond to at least one of: the first resource set, a first transmission power control (TPC) command, or a first open-loop power control (OLPC) parameter set,

a second value indicating that the plurality of uplink data transmission instances correspond to at least one of: the second resource set, a second TPC command, or a second OLPC parameter set, or

at least a third value indicating that a second set of the plurality of uplink data transmission instances correspond to at least one of: the second resource set, the second TPC command, or the second OLPC parameter set.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining, by the wireless communication device, that the second indicator is equal to the first value, wherein at least a value of the first indicator indicates one or more resources in the first resource set for transmitting the plurality of uplink data transmission instances; or

determining, by the wireless communication device, that the second indicator is equal to the second value, wherein at least a value of the first indicator indicates one or more resources in the second resource set for transmitting the plurality of uplink data transmission instances.

4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining, by the wireless communication device, that the second indicator is equal to the third value, wherein at least a value of the second indicator indicates one or more resources in the second resource set for transmitting the second set of the plurality of uplink data transmission instances; and

transmitting a first set of the plurality of uplink data transmission instances corresponding to at least one of: the first resource set, the first TPC command, or the first OLPC parameter set, wherein at least a value of the first indicator indicates one or more resources in the first resource set for transmitting the first set of the plurality of uplink data transmission instances.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first value is a second greatest value of the second indicator, and the second value is a greatest value of the second indicator; or

wherein the first value is a greatest value of the second indicator, and the second value is a second greatest value of the second indicator.

6 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first indicator comprises a first value indicating that the plurality of uplink data transmission instances correspond to at least one of: the second resource set, a second TPC command, or a second OLPC parameter set,

13 . A wireless communication device, comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

receive, via a transceiver, a scheduling grant that comprises a first indicator in a first field of the scheduling grant and a second indicator in a second field of the scheduling grant, the scheduling grant scheduling a plurality of uplink data transmission instances, the first indicator comprising a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource index (SRI), and the second indicator comprising a transmit power control (TPC) command; and

transmit, via the transceiver, the plurality of uplink data transmission instances that correspond to at least one of a first resource set or a second resource set based on the first indicator and the second indicator.

14 . A wireless communication node, comprising:
