An enhanced technique may include monitoring a duration between transmissions scheduled by different control messages based on a timing parameter that indicates a maximum time between transmissions of a data set and corresponding transmission including the data set. | 2021-10-14 |

20210321443 | DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION DESIGN FOR MULTI-COMPONENT CARRIER SCHEDULING - Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) to a user equipment (UE) indicating a joint field for at least a first component carrier (CC) and a second CC of a carrier aggregation configuration. For example, the joint field may include a rate matching (RM) indication for the first CC and the second CC, a zero power channel state information reference signal (ZP-CSI-RS) indication for the first CC and the second CC, or both. In some cases, the RM indication may include a common RM resource (RMR) configuration applicable for both the first CC and the second CC or per-CC RMR configurations that indicate separate RMRs for each of the CCs. Additionally, the ZP-CSI-RS indication may include a set identifier that indicates a resource set for ZP-CSI-RS resources for both the first CC and the second CC. | 2021-10-14 |
20210321444 | RATE MATCHING FOR A PHYSICAL DOWNLINK SHARED CHANNEL (PDSCH) - Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for performing rate matching for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). An example method generally includes monitoring for at least first and second downlink control information (DCI) formats for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), determining a bitwidth of a rate matching indicator field of at least one of the first DCI format or the second DCI format, and performing PDSCH rate matching for a PDSCH scheduled by a DCI of the first or second DCI format based, at least in part, on the rate matching indicator field in the DCI or a format of the DCI. | 2021-10-14 |
20210321445 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING OR RECEIVING SIGNAL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUPPORTING UNLICENSED BAND, AND APPARATUS SUPPORTING SAME - The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, in particular, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising: receiving first downlink control information (DCI) including downlink scheduling information and information on a HARQ-ACK feedback type; transmitting a HARQ-ACK feedback regarding a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) corresponding to the downlink scheduling information, on the basis of the HARQ-ACK feedback type indicating a first type; and delaying transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback regarding the first PDSCH or transmitting a previously-received HARQ-ACK feedback regarding a second PDSCH, on the basis of the HARQ-ACK feedback type indicating a second type. | 2021-10-14 |
20210321446 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS TRANSMIT/RECEIVE UNIT (WTRU) POWER CONTROL - Methods and apparatus for wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) power control are described. A method includes receiving a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) list configuration including entries, each including a resource allocation that includes a slot offset value. L1 signaling is received indicating a minimum slot offset value. Downlink control information (DCI) is decoded on a physical downlink control channel in a slot. An index is obtained from the decoded DCI, identifying an entry in the TDRA list. A particular slot offset value identified by the index is retrieved from the TDRA list and compared with the minimum slot offset value. If the particular slot offset value is less than the minimum slot offset value, the entry is invalid. If the particular slot offset value is greater than or equal to the minimum slot offset value, a physical downlink shared channel is received. | 2021-10-14 |
20210321447 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DOWNLINK SIGNAL BETWEEN TERMINAL AND BASE STATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING SAME - The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting and receiving a downlink signal between a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for supporting same. According to an embodiment applicable to the present disclosure, when the terminal recognizes that a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a second PDSCH are overlapped, the terminal may receive a downlink signal including the first PDSCH, under the assumption that a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) for the second PDSCH and the first PDSCH are overlapped. | 2021-10-14 |
20210321448 | TIME GAPS IN MULTI-SLOT GRANTS - Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a multi-slot grant for one of uplink communication or downlink communication. The UE may communicate in the multi-slot grant based at least in part on information that provides an indication of one or more time gaps for the multi-slot grant. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 2021-10-14 |
20210321449 | METHOD, APPARATUS FOR CONTENDING FOR A TIME-FREQUENCY RESOURCE FOR SIDELINK COMMUNICATION, AND TERMINAL - The disclosure relates to a method for contending for a time-frequency resource for sidelink communication. The method is performed by a terminal, and includes: determining a target time-frequency resource unit from n time-frequency resource units, and a contention resource group corresponding to the target time-frequency resource unit; sending a first contention signal on a first contention time-frequency resource unit in the contention resource group; and determining, based on a monitoring result on the contention resource group, whether contention for the target time-frequency resource unit is successful. | 2021-10-14 |
