SEMI-PERSISTENT SCHEDULING CANCELLATION VIA GROUP COMMON CONTROL INFORMATION

Abstract:

A base station may associate multiple user equipment (UEs) with one or more UE groups and generate group common downlink control information (DCI) for each UE group for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) cancellation, such that group common DCI may be transmitted to UEs of a respective UE group. The base station may associate each of UEs with a respective UE group, wherein the UEs are configured with SPS configurations by the base station, each SPS configuration configuring respective SPS occasions. The base station may further determine to cancel one or more SPS occasions associated with at least one of the SPS configurations, generate one or more group common DCI for the one or more UE groups to cancel the one or more SPS occasions, and transmit the one or more group common DCI to one or more UEs associated with the at least one of the SPS configurations.
