Abstract

Aspects are presented which enable a UE to determine a supplementary uplink (SUL) configuration for an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI) for cancelling uplink communications in SUL. The UE receives from a base station a first configuration associated with a first block of an ULCI and associated with at least one of a SUL carrier a non-supplementary uplink (NUL) carrier in a cell. The base station configures the UE with a second configuration associated with a second block of the ULCI and associated with a SUL carrier in the cell, and the UE determines the second configuration. The UE monitors the ULCI based on the first configuration and the second configuration.

Claims (22)

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one memory; and

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

receive, from a base station, a first configuration associated with a first block of an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI), wherein the first configuration is associated with at least one of a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier or a non-supplementary uplink (NUL) carrier; and

monitor the ULCI based on the first configuration and a second configuration associated with a second block of the ULCI, wherein the second configuration is associated with the SUL carrier, wherein the first configuration includes a NUL size parameter indicating a first number of bits associated with the first block, and the second configuration includes a SUL cancellation indication (CI) payload size parameter indicating a second number of bits associated with the second block, and wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are configured under a same RRC parameter and the SUL CI payload size parameter is the same as the NUL size parameter.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are associated with a same size parameter indicating a number of bits associated with the first block and the second block.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration includes a first indication of NUL time domain resources associated with the first block, and wherein the second configuration includes a second indication of SUL time domain resources associated with the second block.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein a NUL duration of the NUL time domain resources is a same duration as a SUL duration of the SUL time domain resources.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are associated with a same indication of time domain resources associated with the first block and the second block.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration includes a NUL time domain granularity associated with the first block, and wherein the second configuration includes a SUL time domain granularity associated with the second block.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the NUL time domain granularity is a same granularity as the SUL time domain granularity.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are associated with a same time domain granularity associated with the first block and the second block.

9 . A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a first configuration associated with a first block of an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI), wherein the first configuration is associated with at least one of a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier or a non-supplementary uplink (NUL) carrier; and

monitoring the ULCI based on the first configuration and a second configuration associated with a second block of the ULCI, wherein the second configuration is associated with the SUL carrier, wherein the first configuration includes a NUL size parameter indicating a first number of bits associated with the first block, and the second configuration includes a SUL cancellation indication (CD) payload size parameter indicating a second number of bits associated with the second block, and wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are configured under a same RRC parameter and the SUL CI payload size parameter is the same as the NUL size parameter.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are associated with a same size parameter indicating a number of bits associated with the first block and the second block.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are associated with a same time domain granularity associated with the first block and the second block.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are associated with a same indication of time domain resources associated with the first block and the second block.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code at a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

receive, from a base station, a first configuration associated with a first block of an uplink cancellation indication (ULCI), wherein the first configuration is associated with at least one of a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier or a non-supplementary uplink (NUL) carrier; and

monitor the ULCI based on the first configuration and a second configuration associated with a second block of the ULCI, wherein the second configuration is associated with the SUL carrier, wherein the first configuration includes a NUL size parameter indicating a first number of bits associated with the first block, and the second configuration includes a SUL cancellation indication (CD) payload size parameter indicating a second number of bits associated with the second block, and wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are configured under a same RRC parameter and the SUL CI payload size parameter is the same as the NUL size parameter.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are associated with a same size parameter indicating a number of bits associated with the first block and the second block.
