Small data transfer over configured grants for asynchronous non-orthogonal multiple access

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for dynamic switching between non-codebook based and codebook based uplink transmission schemes. An exemplary method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) generally includes obtaining, from a base station (BS), parameters and a grant of transmission resources for asynchronous non-orthogonal multiple access (A-NOMA) transmissions; obtaining data for transmission to the BS; and transmitting the data in an A-NOMA transmission via the transmission resources according to the parameters while the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) Inactive mode.
