Group based scheduled and autonomous uplink coexistence

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a group identifier of the UE. The UE may receive, from the base station, an indication of one or more group identifiers associated with scheduled communications with the base station during a time period. The UE may contend, based at least in part on the group identifier of the UE and the one or more group identifiers received from the base station, for access to a set of autonomous uplink (AUL) resources during the time period. The UE may perform, based at least in part on the contending, an AUL transmission to the base station using the set of autonomous uplink resources.
