ENABLING MULTIPLE STARTING SYMBOL OCCASIONS FOR CONFIGURED GRANTS IN NEW RADIO (NR) SYSTEMS OPERATING ON UNLICENSED SPECTRUM

Abstract:

A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) based on a configured grant that enables different configurations with multiple starting symbol occasions for the configured grants in new radio (NR) unlicensed communications. The PUSCH can be type A or as type B based on the configured grant. A number M of demodulation reference signals (DMRSs) and a number N of starting symbol occasions in a slot can be configured according to the configured grant, wherein M and N comprise an integer greater than zero, respectively.
