SKIPPING SEMI PERSISTENT SCHEDULING (SPS) OR CONFIGURED GRANT PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL (CG PUSCH) OCCASIONS

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to skipping occasions, such as high frequency control packets, for overhead reduction. The control packets may be semi persistent scheduling (SPS) occasions, or configured grant (CG) physical uplink shared control channel (PUSCH). In a general aspect, for example, a user equipment (UE) may receive signaling activating SPS occasions and monitor for downlink control information (DCI) multiplexed in at least some of the SPS occasions. The DCI indicates at least one of the SPS occasions to be skipped from being monitored by the UE. The UE may transmit configured grant (CG) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) occasions to a network entity and transmit uplink control information (UCI) multiplexed in at least some of the CG PUSCH occasions. The UCI indicates at least one of the CG PUSCH occasions to be skipped from being monitored by the network entity.
