RATE MATCHING FOR A PHYSICAL DOWNLINK SHARED CHANNEL (PDSCH)

Abstract:

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.
