Techniques for multiplexing or cascading control information and data within a transmission time interval

Abstract:

Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes identifying a transmission time interval (TTI)-level control region, where the cascaded control region includes a TTI-level common control region and a TTI-level UE-specific control region, and where the TTI-level common control region has a pointer to a location of the TTI-level UE-specific control region; and demodulating at least one of the TTI-level common control region and the TTI-level UE-specific control region. Some techniques enable control information in a first region to point to a second region that includes additional control information. Some techniques enable two-stages of control. Semi-persistent scheduling/prescheduling control may be configured to cause an entity to refrain from demodulating one of the stages of control.
