Slot structure linkage in wireless systems

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station and user equipment (UE) may utilize different slot structures for communications depending on the type of data to be transmitted. A base station may configure the slot structures based on a capability of a UE or operation conditions. The base station may identify a slot structure for a first slot, which may be group-specific or UE-specific, and determine a slot structure for a subsequent slot, which may be UE-specific or based on the slot structure of the first slot. A set of slot structure combinations may be identified to be used by a UE for combining the first and subsequent slots, and one combination may be selected based on a capability of the UE, an operation to be performed by the UE, an operational condition associated with the UE, or a combination thereof.
