DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows an SPS configuration pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

For the semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) transmission, the gNB transmits a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to the UE (user equipment) including an SPS configuration, which includes the periodicity, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level, information of the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource and so on. Then, the gNB transmits an activation DCI to the UE to activate the SPS configuration. The gNB transmits data via the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the periodicity determined by the SPS configuration without monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). While the gNB transmits a release DCI to stop transmitting the pre-scheduled PDSCH, the SPS configuration is release.

FIG. 2 shows a CG configuration pattern according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In an embodiment, uplink configured grant (CG) transmission includes two types.

For the type-1 CG, the user equipment (UE) receives a radio resource control (RRC) signaling (e.g., configuredGrantConfig) from the gNB, where the periodicity, the resource assignment information, modulation and the coding scheme (MCS) table/level and other scheduling information are included. Then, after an offset determined by configuredGrantConfig, the type-1 CG is activated. The UE transmits data via physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the periodicity determined by configuredGrantConfig without the grant request. While the UE receives a release downlink control information (DCI) to stop transmitting the data via the granted PUSCH, the type-1 CG is released.

For the type-2 CG, the UE also receives an RRC signaling (e.g., configuredGrantConfig) from the gNB. Then, an activation DCI is received by the UE from the gNB to activate the type-2 CG. The UE transmits data via PUSCH based on the periodicity determined by configuredGrantConfig without the grant request. While the UE receives a release DCI to stop transmitting data via the granted PUSCH, the type-2 CG is released.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show different configuration patterns according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In order to have more transmission occasions for packets with large data and mitigate the jitter impact on the offset between packet arrival and preconfigured resource, multiple transmission occasions are configured by a single configuration (see FIG. 3) or by a combination of multiple configurations (see FIG. 4). With such a configuration, data can be transmitted in time regardless of the negative effect of jitter impact.

In some embodiments, the maximum value of the SLIVs is associated with the length of the duration.

The first information includes: ‘a length information of a duration’, ‘a valid or invalid indication’ and/or ‘a periodicity information’ determined by the control signaling.

1. The ‘a length information of a duration’ is an integer indicating the number of symbols, while ‘a valid or invalid indication’ is a bitmap. In this case, the bitmap indicates the transmission occasions. The ‘a periodicity information’ includes the periodicity of the duration. This case is for uplink configured grant.

E.g., NrofSymbol determines the length of duration, and SymbolUsage determines the valid symbols in the duration.

E.g., NrofSymbol is set to 7. While SymbolUsage is set to ‘1010101’. And the periodicity is set to ‘sym1×14’. The pattern is configured as shown in FIG. 5.

In this case, the N-th transmission occasion burst is expressed as:

$\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\left(\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}in\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{symbol}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slot}\right]=\left(\mathrm{timeReferenceSFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+\mathrm{timeDomainOffset}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+S+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right)\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right).\mathrm{or}$ $\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\left(\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{symbol}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slot}\right]=\left[\left({\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+{\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+{\mathrm{symbol}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\right)+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right).$

The parameter periodicity is the periodicity of Type-1 CG or Type-2 CG, and timeDomainOffset denotes offset of a resource with respect to SFN=timeReferenceSFN in time domain. The parameter timeReferenceSFN is SFN used for determination of the offset of a resource in time domain. The parameter numberOfSlotsPerFrame denotes the number of slots in per radio frame and numberOfSymbolsPerSlot denotes the number of symbols in per slot. S is the start symbol location of the duration.

A transmission occasion burst includes one or more transmission occasions in the duration, the formula determines the first transmission occasion is each transmission occasion burst.

2. The ‘a length information of a duration’ is an integer indicating the number of symbols, while ‘a valid or invalid indication’ is a start and length indication value. In this case, the SLIV determines the transmission occasions. The ‘a periodicity information’ includes the periodicity of the duration. This case is for uplink configured grant.

The start and length indication value indicates the starting valid symbol location S and the length of valid symbol L. One of the mapping relationship between SLIV and S, L is as the following:

if (L−1) ≤ NrofSymbol/2, then
SLIV = NrofSymbol ·(L−1) + S ;
else
SLIV = NrofSymbol ·(NrofSymbol −L+1) + (NrofSymbol −1−S)
where 0 ≤ L ≤ NrofSymbol

NrofSymbol determines the length of duration, which SymbolUsage determines the valid symbols in the duration.

NrofSymbol is set to 7. While SymbolUsage is set to 13, which means the start symbol in the duration determined by NrofSymbol is the first symbol of the duration and the length of valid symbol is 7. And the periodicity is set to ‘sym1×14’. The pattern is configured as illustrated in FIG. 6.

In some embodiments, the N-th transmission occasion for CG is expressed as:

$\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\left(\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{symbol}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slot}\right]=\left(\mathrm{timeReference}\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+\mathrm{timeDomainOffset}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+S+\left[\mathrm{mod}\left(N,L\right)\right]+\mathrm{floor}\left(N/L\right)\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right)\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)\mathrm{or}$ $\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\left(\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{symbol}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slot}\right]=\left[\left({\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+{\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+{\mathrm{symbol}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+\left[\mathrm{mod}\left(N,L\right)\right]\right)+\mathrm{floor}\left(N/L\right)\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)$

S is the start symbol location of the duration and L denotes the length of valid symbol. The formula determines each transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the N-th transmission occasion for CG is expressed as:

$\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\left(\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{symbol}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slot}\right]=\left(\mathrm{timeReferenceSFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+\mathrm{timeDomainOffset}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+S+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right)\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)\mathrm{or}$ $\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\left(\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{symbol}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slot}\right]=\left[\left({\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+{\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+{\mathrm{symbol}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\right)+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right).$

The formula determines the first transmission occasion is each transmission occasion burst.

3. The ‘a length information of a duration’ is an integer indicating the number of slots or HARQ process identifiers, while ‘a valid or invalid indication’ is a bitmap. In this case, the bitmap indicates the transmission occasions. The ‘a periodicity information’ includes the periodicity of the duration. This case is for uplink configured grant or downlink SPS.

Nrofslot determines the length of a duration, while Usage determines the valid slot or HARQ process identifier in the duration.

E.g., Nrofslot is set to 8. While Usage is set to ‘10101010’. And the periodicity is set to ‘sym10×14’ or ‘ms5’. The pattern is configured as illustrated in FIG. 7.

In some embodiments, the N-th transmission occasion for CG or SPS is expressed as:

$\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right]=\left(\mathrm{timeReferenceSFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}+\mathrm{timeDomainOffset}+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right)\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)\mathrm{or}$ $\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{SFN}+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right)=\left[\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times {\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+{\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\right)+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}/10\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)$

The formula determines the first transmission occasion in each transmission occasion burst.

4. The ‘a length information of a duration’ is an integer indicating the number of slots or HARQ process identifiers, while ‘a valid or invalid indication’ is a SLIV. In this case, the SLIV determines the transmission occasions. The ‘a periodicity information’ includes the periodicity of the duration. This case is for uplink configured grant or downlink SPS.

The start and length indication value indicates the starting valid slot/HARQ Process identifier location S and the length of valid slot/HARQ Process identifier L. One of the mapping relationship between SLIV and S, L is as the followings:

if (L−1) ≤ NrofSlot/2 , then
SLIV = NrofSlot ·(L−1) + S ;
else
SLIV = NrofSlot ·(NrofSlot −L+1) + (NrofSlot −1−S);
where 0 ≤ L ≤ NrofSlot , and

NrofSlot is set to 8. While Usage is set to 15, it means the start slot in the duration determined by NrofSlot is the first symbol of the duration and the length of valid slot is 8. And the periodicity is set to ‘sym10×14’ or ‘ms5’. The pattern is configured as illustrated in FIG. 8.

In some embodiments, the N-th transmission occasion for CG or SPS is expressed as:

$\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right]=\left(\mathrm{timeReferenceSFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}+\mathrm{timeDomainOffset}+S+\mathrm{mod}\left(N,L\right)+\mathrm{floor}\left(N/L\right)\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right)\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right).\mathrm{or}$ $\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{SFN}+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right)=\left[\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times {\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+{\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+\mathrm{mod}\left(N,L\right)\right)+\mathrm{floor}\left(N/L\right)\times \mathrm{periodicity}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}/10\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)$

The formula determines each transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the N-th transmission occasion for CG or SPS is expressed as:

$\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right]=\left(\mathrm{timeReferenceSFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}+\mathrm{timeDomainOffset}+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right)\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right),\mathrm{or}$ $\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{SFN}+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right)=\left[\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times {\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+{\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}\right)+N\times \mathrm{periodicity}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}/10\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)$

The formula determines the first transmission occasion in each transmission occasion burst.

5. The ‘a periodicity information’ includes the periodicity of duration and the periodicity of the transmission occasions in the duration. The ‘a length information of a duration’ is an integer indicating the number of symbols. This case is for uplink configured grant.

E.g., NrofSymbol determines the length of duration, while periodicity1 determines the periodicity of valid symbols in the duration.

E.g., NrofSymbol is set to 7. And the periodicity is set to ‘sym1×14’ for periodicity of duration and periodicity1 is set to ‘sym1’. The pattern is configured as illustrated in FIG. 9.

In some embodiments, the N-th transmission occasion for CG is expressed as:

$\left[\left(\mathrm{SFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\left(\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)+\mathrm{symbol}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slot}\right]=\left(\mathrm{timeReferenceSFN}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+\mathrm{timeDomainOffset}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}+S+\left(\mathrm{mod}\left(N,P\right)*\mathrm{periodicity1}\right)+\mathrm{floor}\left(N/P\right)\times \mathrm{periodicity}\right)\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{numberOfSymbolsPerSlot}\right)\mathrm{or}$ $\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{SFN}+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right)=\left[\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times {\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+{\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+\left(\mathrm{mod}\left(N,P\right)*\mathrm{periodicity}1\right)\right)+\mathrm{floor}\left(N/P\right)\times \mathrm{periodicity}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}/10\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)$ $P=\mathrm{ceil}\left(\mathrm{NrofSymbol}/\mathrm{periodicity}1\right)$

6. The ‘a periodicity information’ includes the periodicity of duration and the periodicity of the transmission occasions in the duration. The ‘a length information of a duration’ is an integer indicating the number of slots/HARQ Process identifiers. This case is for uplink configured grant or downlink SPS.

E.g., NrofSlot determines the length of duration, while periodicity1 determines the periodicity of valid slots/HARQ process identifier in the duration.

E.g., NrofSlot is set to 7. And the periodicity is set to ‘10×sym14’ or ‘ms5’ for periodicity of duration and periodicity1 is set to ‘sym14’ or ‘ms0.5’. The pattern is configured as illustrated in FIG. 10.

In some embodiments, the N-th transmission occasion for CG/SPS is expressed as:

$\left(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times \mathrm{SFN}+\mathrm{slot}\mathrm{numbe}r\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{frame}\right)=\left[(\mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\times {\mathrm{SFN}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+\left({\mathrm{slot}}_{\mathrm{start}\mathrm{time}}+\left(\mathrm{mod}\left(N,P\right)\right)*\mathrm{periodicity1}\right)+(\mathrm{floor}\left(N/P\right)\times \mathrm{periodicity}\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}/10\right]\mathrm{modulo}\left(1024\times \mathrm{numberOfSlotsPerFrame}\right)$ $P=\mathrm{ceil}\left(\mathrm{NrofSlot}/\mathrm{periodicity1}\right)$

The formula determines each transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the periodicity is a rounded result in above formula for transmission occasion calculation for aligning the periodicity of the service with non-integer periodicity. In some cases, the rounded result is the result after floor, round or ceiling operation.

For example, if the periodicity of service is 16.67 ms, the rounded periodicity is 16 ms or 17 ms. If a slot is 0.5 ms, the periodicity in formula is 32 slots or 34 slots.

In some embodiments, the number information of the configurations determines the number of the configurations in a group to configure the one or more transmission occasions.

In some embodiments, the configuration set comprises one or more configurations, and the number of configurations is associated with number information of configurations, wherein the configurations comprise one or more transmission occasions.

In some embodiments, the configuration set includes a group of configurations used to configure the transmission occasions. In some cases, the configuration set includes one or more configurations.

The first information includes ‘a number information of configurations’ and ‘a periodicity information’, wherein ‘a periodicity information’ includes the periodicity of configurations and offset/interval between configurations. This case is for uplink CG or downlink SPS.

E.g., ‘a number information of configurations’ is an integer indicated by ConfigNum. In the example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, ConfigNum=4, the periodicity of each configuration is ‘10×sym14’ or ‘ms5’, while the offset of different periodicity is ‘sym14’ or ‘ms0.5’.

The configurations used for the above pattern belongs to a configuration set.

In some embodiments, the offset/interval is associated with ‘a number information of configurations’, in order to align the periodicity of service with non-integer periodicity.

In some embodiments, the configuration set includes a group of configurations with a same index. For example, the number of the configurations for the configured pattern is 4. The configuration set is (1, 1, 1, 1), . . . , (15, 15, 15, 15).

The configuration set is the repetition of a certain configuration. For example, there are total 16 configurations, which is indexing from 0 to 15. And the ‘a number information of configurations’ (e.g., ConfigNum) is set to 4. Then there are 16 CG sets.

E.g., CG set 0: {0, 0, 0, 0} for repeating 4 CG configuration with index 0.

CG set 15: {15, 15, 15, 15} for repeating 4 CG configuration with index 15.

In some embodiments, the configuration set comprises a group of configurations with different indices. For example, there are 16 configurations in total (i.e., configurations 0 to 15), the number of the configurations for the configured pattern is 4. The configuration set are, for example, set1 (configurations 0 to 3), set2 (configurations 4 to 7), set3 (configurations 8 to 11), and set4 (configurations 12 to 15).

The configuration set is the grouping of some configurations. For example, there are 16 CG configurations, which is indexing from 0 to 15. And the ‘a number information of configurations’ is set to 4. Then there are 4 CG sets.

E.g., CG set 0: {0, 1, 2, 3} for grouping 4 CG configurations from index 0 to index 3.

CG set 4: {12, 13, 14, 15} for grouping 4 CG configurations from index 12 to index 15.

In some embodiments, a first information is a number of a scheduled resource. In this case, the bitmap or SLIV indicates scheduled resource, and the scheduled resource is a time-frequency resource includes a part of a bandwidth (e.g., a half of the bandwidth) of a symbol, slot, HARQ process identifier, a resource block, or a resource block group in the periodic duration is used. As shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, the scheduled resource is indicated by a bitmap.

In some embodiments, the length of bitmap or the maximum of SLIV is determined by high layer parameter, while the effect time of bitmap or SLIV is determined by high layer parameter, e.g., RRC signaling. The effect time of bitmap or SLIV means the bitmap is available after K slots/symbols when it is received. The bitmap or SLIV is transmitted by physical layer signaling, e.g., DCI format 2_6.

In some embodiments, the first set of information comprises second information for determining a time domain resource assignment for one or more transmission occasions, and the second information comprises at least one of: time domain information of a first transmission occasion of the transmission occasions in the duration; and/or time domain information of the transmission occasions in the duration.

In some embodiments, the second information is time domain information of the first transmission occasion of the transmission occasions in the duration, and the time domain information of remaining transmission occasions in the duration is determined by the first transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 12, all transmission occasions use the same SLIV as the first transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the second information is time domain information of the transmission occasions in the duration, and the time domain information is at least one of: one or more time domain pattern identifiers, wherein a time domain pattern comprises one or more SLIVs.

In some embodiments, one of the time domain pattern identifiers indicates the time domain information of the transmission occasions in the duration.

SLIV is used for time domain assignment, which includes the starting symbol location S and the length of symbols L in a transmission occasion. The relationship between SLIV, S, and L is as the following:

if (L−1) ≤ 7, then
SLIV =14·(L−1)+S ;
else
SLIV =14·(14−L+1)+(14−1−S) ;
where0<L≤14−S .

A SLIV pattern contains SLIVs for the transmission occasions in the duration. In this case, there is a time domain assignment pool in RRC signaling, e.g. ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. And the time domain assignment pattern in the time domain assignment pool is for the transmission occasions in one duration. The second information indicates the index of a time domain pattern. When the second information is received, the time domain pattern is selected and time domain assignment for transmission occasions in duration are configured according to the time domain pattern.

For example, in FIG. 13, the second information is indicated by 3. And the pattern 3 includes 7 SLIVs for corresponding transmission occasions, where the pattern is {25, 56, 57, 124, 58, 54, 26}. The value ‘57’ corresponds to the third transmission occasion in the duration, and it is decoded as S=1, L=5, which means the time domain assignment of the third transmission occasion is from the second symbol to the sixth symbol (assuming the counting of the symbols starts from 0).

In some embodiments, the SLIVs of the transmission occasions at both ends of the duration is smaller than the SLIV of transmission in the middle of the periodic duration.

In some embodiments, one of the time domain pattern identifiers indicates the time domain information of one of the transmission occasions in the duration.

A SLIV pattern contains a SLIV for single transmission occasion in the duration. In some embodiments, M SLIVs patterns respectively determine M transmission occasions within the duration, and M is an integer.

In this case, there is a time domain assignment pool in RRC signaling, e.g. ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. And the time domain assignment pattern in the time domain assignment pool is for the single transmission occasion. The second information indicates several indices for the transmission occasions in the duration, implying the length of second information is relevant to first information (The length information of the duration). When second information is received, the time domain information for transmission occasions in the duration are configured.

For example, in FIG. 14, the second information is ‘index 3, index 2, index 1, index 0, index 5, index 1, index 2’, which corresponds to the transmission occasion in duration. Each index corresponds to a SLIV. For instance, ‘Index 0’ corresponds to SLIV=101, the value ‘101’ is decoded as S=3, L=8, which means that the time domain assignment for the fourth transmission occasion in the duration is from the fourth symbol to the eleventh symbol (assuming the counting of the symbols starts from 0).

In some embodiments, the first set of information comprises third information for determining a frequency domain resource assignment for one or more transmission occasions, and the third information comprises at least one of: frequency domain information of a first transmission occasion of the transmission occasions in the duration; or frequency domain information of the transmission occasions in the duration.

In some embodiments, the third information is frequency domain information of the first transmission occasion of the transmission occasions in the duration, and the frequency domain information of remaining transmission occasions in the duration is determined by the first transmission occasion.

For example, in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 15, all the transmission occasion use the same frequency domain information as the frequency domain of the first transmission occasion. The type of frequency domain information is bitmap or Resource Indicator Value, RIV.

In some embodiments, the third information is frequency domain information of the transmission occasions in the duration, and the frequency domain information is at least one of: one or more frequency domain pattern identifiers, wherein a frequency domain pattern comprises one or more Resource Indicator Values, RIVs.

In some embodiments, one of the frequency domain pattern identifiers indicates the frequency domain information of transmission occasions in the duration.

RIV is used for time domain assignment, which includes the starting virtual resource block RB_start and the length of virtual resource block L_RBs in a transmission occasion. The relationship between RIV and RB_start, and L_RBs is as the following:

if (LRBs −1)≤└NBWPsize/2┘ , then
RIV=NBWPsize(LRBs −1) + RBstart;
else
RIV=NBWPsize(NBWPsize−LRBs +1) + (NBWPsize−1−RBstart);

where L_RBs>1 and shall not exceed N_BWP^size−RB_start.

A RIV pattern contains RIVs for transmission occasions in the duration. In this case, there is a frequency domain assignment pool in RRC signaling, e.g., ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. And the frequency domain assignment pattern in the frequency domain assignment pool is for the transmission occasions in one duration. The third information indicates the index of a frequency domain pattern. When the third information is received, the frequency domain pattern is selected and frequency domain assignment for transmission occasions in duration are configured according to the frequency domain pattern.

For example, in FIG. 16, the third information is indicated by 3. Assuming there are 50 virtual RBs in the active bandwidth part, the pattern 3 includes 7 RIVs for corresponding transmission occasions, where the pattern is {101, 156, 157, 201, 158, 154, 126}. The value ‘201’ corresponds to the fourth transmission occasion in the duration, and it is decoded as Start=1, Length=5, which means the frequency domain assignment of the fourth transmission occasion is from the second virtual RB to the sixth virtual RB (assuming the counting of the virtual RBs starts from 0).

In some embodiments, the RIVs of the transmission occasion at both ends of the duration is smaller than the RIV of transmission in the middle of the periodic duration.

In some embodiments, one of the frequency domain pattern identifiers indicates the time domain information of one of the transmission occasions in the duration.

A RIV pattern contains a RIV for single transmission occasion in the duration. In some embodiments, M RIVs patterns respectively determine M transmission occasions within the periodic duration, and M is an integer.

In this case, there is a frequency domain assignment pool in RRC signaling, e.g. ConfiguredGrantConfig or SPS-config. And the frequency domain assignment pattern in the frequency domain assignment pool is for the single transmission occasion. The third information indicates several indices for the transmission occasions in the duration, implying the length of third information is relevant to first information (The length information of the duration). When third information is received, the frequency domain information for transmission occasions in the duration are configured.

For example, in FIG. 17, the third information is ‘index 3, index 2, index 1, index 0, index 5, index 4, index 2’, which corresponds to the transmission occasion in duration. Each index corresponds to a RIV. Assuming there are 50 virtual RBs in the active bandwidth part, ‘Index 2’ corresponds to RIV=101, the value ‘101’ is decoded as Start=1, Length=3, which means that the frequency domain assignment for the second transmission occasion in the duration is from the second virtual RB to the fourth virtual RB (assuming the counting of the virtual RB starts from 0).

In some embodiments, the first set of information comprises fourth information for determining a modulation and coding scheme level for one or more transmission occasions, and the fourth information comprises at least one of: modulation and coding scheme (MCS) tables; an MCS level; and/or a delta MCS level.

In some embodiments, the fourth information is the MCS level of a first transmission occasion of the transmission occasions in the duration, and the MCS level of remaining transmission occasions in the duration is determined by the first transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the fourth information is one or more MCS levels of the transmission occasions in the duration.

In some cases, the fourth information is one MCS levels of the first transmission occasion in the duration. All transmission occasions use the same MCS levels as that of the first transmission occasion (e.g., see FIG. 18).

In some cases, the fourth information is multiple MCS levels of the transmission occasions in the duration (e.g., see FIG. 19).

For example, there are four transmission occasions in the duration. The fourth information includes four MCS levels corresponding to the 4 transmission occasions, respectively. For instance, ‘MCS 1’ is for the first transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the delta MCS level is associated with an MCS level of a first transmission occasion, or an MCS level of a former transmission occasion.

In some embodiment, the MCS level is adjusted according to the current transmission condition. The current transmission is determined by the parameter N and M. N is the times of successive successful transmission, which M is the times of the successive failure transmission, where N and M is configured in RRC signaling, MAC CE or DCI signaling. If times of successive successful transmission is larger than N, the MCS level is enhanced to fit the good channel condition. While if the time of successive failure transmission is large than M, the MCS level is decreased to fit the poor channel condition.

Moreover, the MCS level is adjusted by delta MCS information. The delta MCS information is carried by DCI signaling, including e.g., UE specific DCI signaling (DCI format 1_0/1_1/1_2 for SPS or, DCI format 0_0/0_1/0_2 for CG), Group common DCI signaling (DCI format 2_6). The periodicity of DCI signaling carrying delta MCS information.

Delta MCS information including at least one of the followings:

• • 2 states to indicate the direction of MCS adjustment. E.g. bit ‘1’ represents the MCS level is increase by X while bit ‘0’ represents the MCS level is decreased by X. The step granularity X of MCS adjustment can be determined by RRC signaling.

Values Description
‘1’    Increase MCS level
‘0’    Decrease MCS level

• • K states to indicate the value of MCS adjustment. The steps of MCS adjustment is determined by RRC signaling.

E.g., RRC determines the delta MCS values are ‘−2’, ‘−1’, ‘0’, ‘+1’, respectively. The delta MCS information is 2-bit length, where ‘00’ denotes value ‘0’, ‘11’ denotes value ‘−2’, ‘10’ denotes value ‘−1’ and ‘01’ denotes value ‘1’.

Values Description
‘11’   Decrease MCS level by 2
‘10’   Decrease MCS level by 1
‘01’   Increase MCS level by 1
‘00’   Remain current MCS level

E.g., RRC determines the number of states is 4 and the step granularity of the delta MCS values is 2. The delta MCS values are derived to ‘−4’, ‘−2’, ‘0’, ‘+2’, respectively. The length of delta MCS information is determined by the number of states, where ‘00’ denotes value ‘0’, ‘11’ denotes value ‘−4’, ‘10’ denotes value ‘−2’ and ‘01’ denotes value ‘+2’.

In some embodiments, the first set of information comprises fifth information for determining activations of one or more transmission occasions, and the fifth information comprises at least one of: an activation indication, an activation type indication, a configuration set identifier, or a configuration identifier.

In some embodiments, the configuration set identifier determines which configuration set is activated.

In some embodiments, the activation type indication indicates the activation indication is for the multiple scheduled resources in response to a slot interval between the activations and a first transmission occasion of the uplink or downlink data being less than a predetermined time threshold. For example, if the slot interval between the activation and the first transmission occasion is less than N slots or symbols, the activation is for multiple transmission occasions, in which N is an integer.

In some embodiments, the activation type indication includes a bit flag indicating the activation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions or for the one transmission occasion. The indication is a specific DCI field with 1-bit length. The addition bit flag is the reserved bit or re-interpretation of existing DCI signaling or the field of new DCI format. Bit flag ‘1’ indicates the activation signaling is for multiple transmission occasions, while bit flag ‘0’ indicates the activation signaling is for one transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the activation type indication includes a re-interpreted information field indicating the activation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions.

The field is reused to indicate the type of activation signaling. For uplink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 0_2. For downlink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2. The re-interpreted field is set to all ones or all zeros. The re-interpretation field includes, but not limited to, at least one of:

• • HARQ process number;
  • Redundancy version;

While the field VRB-to-PRB mapping, Downlink assignment index or TPC command for scheduled PUCCH is set to all zeros or all ones, the activation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions. The re-interpretation of the field is based on the predefined condition. In other words, when first information, such as ‘a length information of a duration’, is configured, the field including but not limited to VRB-to-PRB mapping, Downlink assignment index or TPC command for scheduled PUCCH is re-interpretation.

In some embodiments, the activation type indication includes a predefined configuration index indicating the activation indication is for multiple transmission occasions.

For example, if there are 16 configurations in total, which is ranging from 0 to 15. The specific index 14 and index 15 is used to indicate the activation for multiple transmission occasions.

In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication indicates the deactivation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions in response to a slot interval between the deactivations and a first transmission occasion of the uplink or downlink data being less than a predetermined time threshold. For example, if the slot interval between the deactivation and the first transmission occasion is less than N slots or symbols, the deactivation is for multiple transmission occasions, in which N is an integer.

In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication includes a bit flag indicating the deactivation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions. For example, an additional bit flag indicates the type of deactivation signaling. The addition bit flag is the reserved bit or re-interpretation of existing DCI signaling or the field of new DCI format. Bit flag ‘1’ indicates the deactivation signaling is for multiple transmission occasions, while bit flag ‘0’ indicates the deactivation signaling is for one transmission occasion.

In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication includes a re-interpreted information field indicating the deactivation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions.

The field is reused to indicate the type of deactivation signaling. For uplink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 0_2. For downlink transmission, the DCI signaling is DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2. The re-interpreted field is set to all ones or all zeros. The re-interpretation field includes, but not limited to, at least one of:

  • Redundancy version;
  • Frequency domain resource assignment;
  • Modulation and coding scheme;
  • VRB-to-PRB mapping;

It means that when the fields ‘HARQ process number’ and/or ‘Redundancy version’ are set to all zeros, as well as the fields ‘Modulation and coding scheme’, ‘Frequency domain resource assignment’ are set to all ones or all zeros, the deactivation indication is for one transmission occasions. While the field VRB-to-PRB mapping, Downlink assignment index or TPC command for scheduled PUCCH is set to all zeros or all ones, the deactivation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions. The re-interpretation of the field is based on the predefined condition. In other words, when first information, such as ‘a length information of a duration’, is configured, the field including but not limited to VRB-to-PRB mapping, Downlink assignment index or TPC command for scheduled PUCCH is re-interpretation.

In some embodiments, the deactivation type indication includes a predefined configuration index indicating the deactivation indication is for the multiple transmission occasions.
