Detailed Description

The invention described herein may be applied to or implemented in exemplary wireless communication systems and devices described below. In addition, the present invention is mainly described in the context of a 3GPP architecture reference model. However, it should be appreciated that with the aid of the disclosed information, those skilled in the art may readily adapt for use and implement aspects of the present invention in 3GPP2 network architectures, as well as other network architectures.

The exemplary wireless communication systems and apparatus described below employ wireless communication systems that support broadcast services. Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication such as voice, data, and so on. These systems may be based on code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA), time division multiple access (time division multiple access, TDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (orthogonal frequency division multiple access, OFDMA), 3GPP long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) wireless access, 3GPP long term evolution advanced (Long Term Evolution Advanced, LTE-a) wireless access, 3GPP2 ultra mobile broadband (Ultra Mobile Broadband, UMB), wiMax, 3GPP New Radio (New Radio, NR), or some other modulation technique.

In particular, the exemplary wireless communication systems and apparatus described below may be designed to support one or more standards, such as those provided by a complex referred to herein as 3GPP, denominated "third generation partnership project," including: [1]3GPP TS 38.211V15.7.0, "NR physical channel and modulation"; [2]3GPP TS 38.213V16.6.0, "NR physical layer procedure for control"; [3]3GPP TS 38.321V16.7.0, "NR MAC protocol specification"; [4]3GPP TS 38.214V16.10.0, "NR physical layer procedure for data"; [5]3GPP TS 38.213V17.4.0, "NR physical layer procedure for control"; [6]3GPP TS 38.214V17.4.0", NR physical layer procedure for data"; [7]3GPP TS 38.321V17.3.0, "NR MAC protocol specification"; [8] RP-212707, "evolved draft SID for NR duplex operation"; [9] RANs # 1#110 chairman notes; 10 RAN1#110bis-e chairman notes. The standards and documents listed above are expressly and fully incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Fig. 1 illustrates a multiple access wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention. AN access network 100 (AN) contains multiple antenna groups, one containing 104 and 106, another containing 108 and 110, and yet another containing 112 and 114. In fig. 1, only two antennas are shown for each antenna group, however, more or fewer antennas may be utilized for each antenna group. An Access Terminal (AT) 116 is in communication with antennas 112 and 114, where antennas 112 and 114 transmit information to access terminal 116 over forward link 120 and receive information from AT 116 over reverse link 118. AT 122 is in communication with antennas 106 and 108, where antennas 106 and 108 transmit information to AT 122 over forward link 126 and receive information from AT 122 over reverse link 124. In an FDD system, communication links 118, 120, 124 and 126 may use different frequencies for communication. For example, forward link 120 may use a different frequency than that used by reverse link 118.

The antennas of each group and/or the area in which they are designed to communicate are often referred to as a sector of the access network. In an embodiment, antenna groups each are designed to communicate to access terminals in a sector of the areas covered by access network 100.

In communication via forward links 120 and 126, the transmit antennas of access network 100 utilize beamforming in order to improve signal-to-noise ratio of forward links for the different access terminals 116 and 122. In addition, an access network transmitting access terminals that are randomly dispersed in its coverage area using beamforming may have less interference to access terminals in neighboring cells than an access network transmitting all its access terminals via a single antenna.

AN may be a fixed station or base station used for communicating with the terminals and may also be referred to as AN access point, a Node B, a base station, AN enhanced base station, AN eNodeB, or some other terminology. An AT may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), a wireless communication device, a terminal, an access terminal, or some other terminology.

Fig. 2 is a simplified block diagram of an embodiment of a transmitter system 210 (also referred to as an access network) and a receiver system 250 (also referred to as an access terminal (ACCESS TERMINAL, AT) or User Equipment (UE)) in a MIMO system 200. At the transmitter system 210, traffic data for a number of data streams is provided from a data source 212 to a Transmit (TX) data processor 214.

In one embodiment, each data stream is transmitted through a respective transmit antenna. TX data processor 214 formats, codes, and interleaves the traffic data for each data stream based on a particular coding scheme selected for that data stream to provide coded data.

The coded data for each data stream may be multiplexed with pilot data using OFDM techniques. The pilot data is typically a known data pattern that is processed in a known manner and may be used at the receiver system to estimate the channel response. The multiplexed pilot and coded data for each data stream is then modulated (e.g., symbol mapped) based on a particular modulation scheme (e.g., BPSK, QPSK, M-PSK or M-QAM) selected for that data stream to provide modulation symbols. Instructions executed by processor 230 may determine the data rate, coding, and modulation for each data stream. Memory 232 is coupled to processor 230.

The modulation symbols for all data streams are then provided to a TX MIMO processor 220, which may further process the modulation symbols (e.g., for OFDM). TX MIMO processor 220 then provides N _T modulation symbol streams to N _T transmitters (TMTR) 222a through 222t. In certain embodiments, TX MIMO processor 220 applies beamforming weights to the symbols of the data streams and to the antenna from which the symbol is being transmitted.

Each transmitter 222 receives and processes a respective symbol stream to provide one or more analog signals, and further conditions (e.g., amplifies, filters, and upconverts) the analog signals to provide a modulated signal suitable for transmission over the MIMO channel. N _T modulated signals from transmitters 222a through 222t are then transmitted from N _T antennas 224a through 224t, respectively.

At receiver system 250, the transmitted modulated signals are received by N _R antennas 252a through 252r and the received signal from each antenna 252 is provided to a respective receiver (RCVR) 254a through 254r. Each receiver 254 conditions (e.g., filters, amplifies, and downconverts) a respective received signal, digitizes the conditioned signal to provide samples, and further processes the samples to provide a corresponding "received" symbol stream.

RX data processor 260 then receives and processes the N _R received symbol streams from N _R receivers 254 based on a particular receiver processing technique to provide N _T "detected" symbol streams. RX data processor 260 then demodulates, deinterleaves, and decodes each detected symbol stream to recover the traffic data for the data stream. The processing by RX data processor 260 is complementary to that performed by TX MIMO processor 220 and TX data processor 214 at transmitter system 210.

The processor 270 periodically determines which pre-coding matrix to use (discussed below). Processor 270 formulates a reverse link message comprising a matrix index portion and a rank value portion.

The reverse link message may comprise various types of information regarding the communication link and/or the received data stream. The reverse link message is then processed by a TX data processor 238, which also receives traffic data for a number of data streams from a data source 236, modulated by a modulator 280, conditioned by transmitters 254a through 254r, and transmitted back to transmitter system 210.

At transmitter system 210, the modulated signals from receiver system 250 are received by antennas 224, conditioned by receivers 222, demodulated by a demodulator 240, and processed by a RX data processor 242 to extract the reverse link message transmitted by receiver system 250. Processor 230 then determines which pre-coding matrix to use to determine the beamforming weights and then processes the extracted message.

Memory 232 may be used to temporarily store some of the buffered/calculated data from 240 or 242 via processor 230, store some of the buffered data from 212, or store some of the specific program code. Also, memory 272 may be used to temporarily store some buffered/calculated data from 260 via processor 270, store some buffered data from 236, or store some specific program code.

The control circuit 306 executes the program code 312 in the memory 310 via the CPU 308, thereby controlling the operation of the communication device 300. The communication device 300 may receive signals input by a user through an input device 302 (e.g., a keyboard or keypad) and may output images and sounds through an output device 304 (e.g., a monitor or speaker). The transceiver 314 is used to receive and transmit wireless signals, pass the received signals to the control circuit 306, and wirelessly output signals generated by the control circuit 306.

In this embodiment, program code 312 includes an application layer 400, a layer 3 portion 402, and a layer 2 portion 404, and is coupled to a layer 1 portion 406. Layer 3 portion 402 typically performs radio resource control. Layer 2 portion 404 typically performs link control. Layer 1 portion 406 typically performs physical connections.

For LTE, LTE-a, or NR systems, layer 2 portion 404 may include a radio link control (Radio Link Control, RLC) layer and a medium access control (Medium Access Control, MAC) layer. Layer 3 portion 402 may include a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) layer.

4.3 Frame Structure

4.3.1 Frames and subframes

The downlink and uplink transmissions are organized into frames with a duration of T _f＝(Df_maxN_f/100)×T_c =10 ms, each frame consisting of ten subframes of a duration of T _sf＝(Df_maxN_f/1000)×T_c =1 ms. The number of consecutive OFDM symbols per subframe isEach frame is divided into two equal sized half frames of five subframes, each having half frame 0 consisting of subframes 0-4 and half frame 1 consisting of subframes 5-9.

On the carrier, there is a set of frames in the uplink and a set of frames in the downlink.

The uplink frame number i for transmission from the UE will start T _TA＝(N_TA+N_TA,offset)T_c before the start of the corresponding downlink frame at the UE, where N _TA,offset is given by [5, ts 38.213 ]. offset

Time slots in subframesStarts with OFDM symbols in the same subframeIs aligned in time. slot time slot

OFDM symbols in a slot may be classified as 'downlink', 'flexible', or 'uplink'. Signaling of the slot format is described in sub-clause 11.1 of [5, ts 38.213 ].

In a slot in a downlink frame, the UE will assume that downlink transmissions occur only in 'downlink' or 'flexible' symbols.

In the time slots in this uplink frame, the UE will transmit only in the 'uplink' or 'flexible' symbols.

When there is no risk of confusion, the subscript x may be discarded. For a given antenna port p, subcarrier spacing configuration mu and transmission direction (downlink or uplink), there is one resource grid.

The frequency location of a subcarrier refers to the center frequency of the subcarrier.

For the downlink, the higher layer parameters txDirectCurrentLocation in SCS-SPECIFICCARRIER IE indicate the location of the transmitter DC sub-carriers in the downlink for each of the base parameters configured in the downlink. Values within the range 0-3299 represent the number of DC subcarriers, and the value 3300 indicates that the DC subcarrier is outside the resource grid.

For the uplink, the higher layer parameters txDirectCurrentLocation in UplinkTxDirectCurrentBWP IE indicate for each of the configured bandwidth portions the location of the transmitter DC subcarrier in the uplink, including whether the DC subcarrier location is offset by 7.5kHz relative to the center of the indicated subcarrier. Values within the range 0-3299 represent the number of DC subcarriers, value 3300 indicates that the DC subcarriers are outside the resource grid, and value 3301 indicates that the locations of the DC subcarriers in the uplink are not determined.

4.4.3 Resource elements

Each element in the resource grid for antenna port p and subcarrier spacing configuration μ is referred to as a resource element and is uniquely identified by (k, l) _p,μ, where k is an index in the frequency domain and l refers to a symbol position in the time domain relative to some reference point. The resource element (k, l) _p,μ corresponds to a physical resource and a complex valueWhen there is no risk of confusion or no specific antenna port or subcarrier spacing is specified, the indices p and μ can be discarded, resulting inOr a _k,l.

* The term "x" and "x" refer to the same or different amounts of a substance, such as a substance, for example, a substance, or a combination thereof

The UE may initiate/expect transmission/reception in response to an indication (e.g., RRC configuration, DCI, etc.) from the base station and/or a trigger due to some event (e.g., data arrival, connection failure, state change, etc.). In general, transmission/reception may be performed or performed accordingly, e.g., on corresponding time and/or frequency resources. However, there are also several environments or situations or instances where the transmission/reception (planned or initiated or anticipated or scheduled) is not performed or cancelled/discarded. For example, when two transmissions collide with each other (e.g., in the time and/or frequency domains in the same time slot) and the UE is not able to perform both simultaneously, the UE will perform and discard or cancel the other on one of them (e.g., due to priority, nature, and/or some other criteria), e.g., when two PUCCHs or two PUSCHs overlap with each other on the same carrier, the UE may transmit one and discard the other. Another situation may be that the transmission violates some rules/regulations, e.g., UL transmissions to be performed on symbols indicated as DL and/or causing collisions may be cancelled (e.g., as referenced above for procedures related to slot formats). And, another case may be that a scheduling request overlaps with PUSCH, where the scheduling request may be suspended and the UE transmits PUSCH. Further details regarding cancellation/dropping can be found in the references below from [5]3GPP TS 38.213V17.4.0 "NR physical layer program for control", "6]3GPP TS 38.214V17.4.0" NR physical layer program for data "and [7]3GPP TS 38.321V17.3.0"NR MAC protocol specification ".

* The term "x" and "x" refer to the same or different amounts of a substance, such as a substance, material, or substance, and are not limited to the particular substance

PUSCH or PUCCH transmissions other than PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reporting, including repetition (if present), may have priority index 0 or priority index 1. For configured grant PUSCH transmissions, the UE determines the priority index from phy-PriorityIndex (if provided). For PUCCH transmissions with HARQ-ACK information corresponding to SPS PDSCH reception or SPS PDSCH release, the UE determines the priority index from HARQ-CodebookID (if provided). For PUCCH transmission with SR, the UE determines the corresponding priority as described in clause 9.2.4. For PUSCH transmissions with semi-persistent CSI reports, the UE determines the priority index from a priority indicator field (if provided) in the DCI format that activates the semi-persistent CSI report. If the priority index is not provided to the UE for PUSCH or PUCCH transmission other than PUCCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report, the priority index is 0.

…

The priority index may be provided by a priority indicator field if the UE monitors the PDCCH to detect DCI formats including the priority indicator field in the active DL BWP. If the UE indicates the ability to monitor PDCCH in the active DL BWP to detect a DCI format including a priority indicator field, the DCI format may schedule PUSCH transmission or PDSCH reception of any priority and/or trigger PUCCH transmission of corresponding HARQ-ACK information of any priority, and DCI format 1_1 or DCI format 1_2 may indicate TCI status update and trigger PUCCH transmission of corresponding HARQ-ACK information of any priority.

A DCI format indicating SCell sleep for SPS PDSCH release or non-scheduled PDSCH reception or TCI status update for non-scheduled PDSCH reception is referred to as a DCI format with associated HARQ-ACK information for non-scheduled PDSCH reception.

When the UE determines overlap of PUCCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report and PUCCH with larger and/or smaller priority index, the UE solves overlap of PUCCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report and PUCCH with each priority index as described in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6, and then solves overlap of PUCCH transmission without SL HARQ-ACK or overlap of PUCCH transmission and PUSCH transmission.

When the UE determines an overlap of PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions with the same priority index except for PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reporting before considering the limitations of UE transmissions (including repetition, if present) as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1 and 11.2A,

First, the UE solves the overlap of PUCCHs with repetition (if present) as described in clause 9.2.6

Second, the UE solves the overlap of PUCCHs without repetition as described in clause 9.2.5

Third, the UE solves the overlap of PUSCH and PUCCH with repetition as described in clause 9.2.6

Fourth, the UE addresses overlapping of PUSCH and PUCCH without repetition as described later in such clauses.

If UE

-Being provided simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH and to transmit PUCCH with a first priority index and PUSCH with a second priority index different from the first priority index, wherein PUCCH and PUSCH overlap in time

PUCCH and PUSCH [18, ts 38.306] may be transmitted simultaneously,

The UE excludes PUSCH to account for temporal overlap between PUCCH and PUSCH, where no timeline condition is required for the excluded PUSCH.

When the UE determines overlap of PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions with different priority indexes in addition to PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reports, before considering the limitations of transmissions (including repetition, if present) as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1 and 11.2A, if the UE is provided UCI-MuxWithDiffPrio and the timeline condition for multiplexing UCI in PUCCH or PUSCH in clause 9.2.5 is satisfied,

First, the UE addresses overlapping of PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions with the same priority index as described in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6

Second, the UE solves the overlap of PUCCH transmissions with different priority indexes, and

-If the UE is provided subslotLengthForPUCCH in the second PUCCH-Config, PUCCH transmissions with smaller priority index are associated with the first overlapping slot of subslotLengthForPUCCH symbols with larger priority index; otherwise, PUCCH transmissions with smaller priority index and PUCCH transmissions with larger priority indexThe overlapping slots of the symbols [4, TS 38.211] are associated.

Within the slots with larger priority index (if present) described later in such clause, the UE first solves the overlap of PUCCH transmissions, at least one of which hasRepetition, and then the UE uses the pseudo code in clause 9.2.5 to resolve overlap of PUCCH transmissions without repetition within the slot

-If the UE determines not to discard the UCI of the first PUCCH transmission with the smaller priority index and not to multiplex the first PUCCH transmission in the second PUCCH transmission with the larger priority index in the overlapping slot with subslotLengthForPUCCH symbols, the first PUCCH transmission is associated with the next overlapping slot with subslotLengthForPUCCH symbols for the PUCCH transmission with the larger priority index

-After resolving overlap of PUCCH transmissions without repetition within a slot, the UE does not expect PUCCH transmissions containing UCI of different priority index and PUCCH transmissions with UCI having repetitionOverlap of repeated PUCCH transmissions

-The UE does not expect PUCCH transmissions of UCI with first and second priority indices to overlap with PUCCH transmissions of HARQ-ACK information with first priority index, or with PUCCH transmissions, or with PUSCH transmissions with second priority index when the second priority index is greater than the first priority index

The UE does not expect that PUCCH transmission of HARQ-ACK information with larger priority index overlaps with more than one PUCCH transmission of HARQ-ACK information with smaller priority index

Third, the UE addresses overlapping of PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions with different priority indexes

-The UE discarding PUSCH transmissions with smaller priority index overlapping PUCCH transmissions with larger priority index being SR before multiplexing UCI (if present) in PUSCH transmissions with smaller priority index

UE

Transmitting PUCCH or PUSCH with larger priority index, and

-Not transmitting PUCCH or PUSCH with smaller priority index

When the UE determines an overlap of PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions with different priority indexes in addition to PUCCH transmissions with SL HARQ-ACK reporting, before considering restrictions (if any) on transmissions containing repetitions, as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1 and 11.2A, if the UE is not provided uci-MuxWithDiffPrio, the UE first resolves the overlap of PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions with smaller priority indexes, as described in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6. Subsequently, the first and second heat exchangers are connected,

-If a transmission of a first PUCCH with a larger priority index scheduled by a DCI format in PDCCH reception is to overlap in time with a repetition of a transmission of a second PUSCH or a second PUCCH with a smaller priority index, the UE cancelling the repetition of the transmission of the second PUSCH or the second PUCCH before a first symbol to be overlapped with the first PUCCH transmission

-If a transmission of a first PUSCH scheduled by a DCI format in PDCCH reception with a larger priority index is to overlap in time with a repetition of a transmission of a second PUCCH with a smaller priority index, the UE cancelling the repetition of the transmission of the second PUCCH before a first symbol to be overlapped with the first PUSCH transmission

Wherein the method comprises the steps of

Before or after addressing the overlap (if any) between channels with larger priority index, overlap applies, as described in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6

Any remaining PUCCH and/or PUSCH transmissions after the overlap resolution are subject to restrictions on UE transmissions, as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1 and 11.2A

The UE expects that the transmission of the first PUCCH or first PUSCH, respectively, will not start before T _proc,₂ after the last symbol received by the corresponding PDCCH

-T _proc,₂ is PUSCH preparation time for the corresponding UE processing capability, assuming that μ and N ₂,d₂,₁＝d₁ [6, ts 38.214] are defined based on the following in such clauses, and d ₁ is determined by the reported UE capability

If a UE is scheduled by a DCI format in the first PDCCH reception to transmit a first PUCCH or first PUSCH with a larger priority index, it overlaps with a second PUCCH or second PUSCH transmission (if present) with a smaller priority index scheduled by a DCI format in the second PDCCH-T _proc,₂ is based on a value of μ that corresponds to the smallest SCS configuration of the first PDCCH, second PDCCH, first PUCCH or first PUSCH and second PUCCH or second PUSCH

-If the contig contains a first PUCCH

-If the serving cell for which the UE received the first PDCCH and all serving cells for which the UE received the PDSCH corresponding to the second PUCCH, processingType Enabled of PDSCH-ServingCellConfig is set to Enabled and if processingType Enabled of PUSCH-ServingCellConfig is set to Enabled for the serving cell with the second PUSCH, then N ₂ is 5 for μ=0, 5.5 for μ=1 and 11 for μ=2

Otherwise, N ₂ is 10 for μ=0, 12 for μ=1, 23 for μ=2, 36 for μ=3, 144 for μ=5, and 288 for μ=6;

-if the contig contains a first PUSCH

-N ₂ is 5 for μ=0, 5.5 for μ=1, and 11 for μ=2 if processingType Enabled of PUSCH-ServingCellConfig is set to Enabled for serving cells with first PUSCH and second PUSCH and processingType Enabled of PDSCH-ServingCellConfig is set to Enabled for all serving cells in which the UE receives PDSCH corresponding to the second PUCCH

Otherwise, N ₂ is 10 for μ=0, 12 for μ=1, 23 for μ=2, 36 for μ=3, 144 for μ=5, and 288 for μ=6;

If the PUSCH with the larger priority index scheduled by the DCI format overlaps in time with the PUSCH with the smaller priority index with SP-CSI report without the corresponding PDCCH in one or more symbols on the same carrier, and if the start of the earliest symbol of these PUSCH channels is not earlier than N ₂+d_2,1 symbols after the last symbol of the DCI scheduled PUSCH with the larger priority index, where d _2,1 is the maximum value of d _2,1 associated with the PUSCH with the larger priority index scheduled by the DCI format and the PUSCH with the smaller priority index without the corresponding PDCCH, the PUSCH with the smaller priority index with the SP-CSI report should not be transmitted by the UE. Otherwise, if the timeline requirement is not met, this is an error condition.

If the UE is to transmit the following channels that will overlap in time, including repetition (if present),

-A first PUCCH with SR having a larger priority index and a second PUCCH or PUSCH with smaller priority index, or

-Configured grant PUSCH with larger priority index and PUCCH with smaller priority index, or

-A first PUCCH with a larger priority index with HARQ-ACK information with no corresponding PDCCH in response to PDSCH reception only, and a second PUCCH with a smaller priority index with HARQ-ACK information with no corresponding PDCCH in response to PDSCH reception only, or a second PUCCH with a smaller priority index with SR and/or CSI, or a configured grant PUSCH with a smaller priority index, or a PUSCH with a smaller priority index with SP-CSI report without corresponding PDCCH, or

PUSCH with larger priority index with SP-CSI reporting without corresponding PDCCH and PUCCH with smaller priority index with SR or CSI or HARQ-ACK information with no corresponding PDCCH, or only in response to PDSCH reception

-Configured grant PUSCH with larger priority index and configured grant PUSCH with smaller priority index on the same serving cell or PUSCH with smaller priority index with SP-CSI report without corresponding PDCCH

PUSCH with larger priority index and PUSCH with configured grant PUSCH with smaller priority index without corresponding PDCCH or PUSCH with smaller priority index with SP-CSI report without corresponding PDCCH on the same serving cell

-If the UE is provided prioLowDG-HighCG, PUSCH with smaller priority index and configured grant PUSCH with larger priority index scheduled by DCI format on the same serving cell

-If the UE is provided prioHighDG-LowCG, PUSCH with larger priority index and configured grant PUSCH with smaller priority index scheduled by DCI format on the same serving cell

If the repetition of the PUCCH/PUSCH transmission with the smaller priority index overlaps in time with the PUCCH/PUSCH transmission with the larger priority index, the UE expects to cancel the repetition of the PUCCH/PUSCH transmission with the smaller priority index before the first symbol overlapping with the PUCCH/PUSCH transmission with the larger priority index. In case of PUSCH with larger priority index and configured grant PUSCH with smaller priority index scheduled by DCI format in PDCCH reception on the same serving cell, and UE is provided prioHighDG-LowCG

The UE expects that the transmission of PUSCH with larger priority index will not start before T _proc,₂ after the last symbol received by the corresponding PDCCH

-T _proc,₂ is PUSCH preparation time for corresponding UE processing capability, assuming that μ and N ₂,d₂,₁＝d₁+d₃ [6, ts 38.214] are defined based on the following in such clauses, and d ₁ and d ₃ are determined by the reported UE capability

When the UE determines that the overlap of PUCCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report and PUSCH with smaller priority index, including repetition (if present), after resolving overlapping PUCCHs other than PUCCH transmission and/or PUSCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report, if PUSCH does not include UCI, the UE resolves the overlap of PUCCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report and PUSCH with smaller priority index as described in clauses 9.2.5 and 9.2.6.

When the UE determines only the overlap of PUCCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report and PUSCH with larger priority index, including repetition (if present), the UE does not transmit PUCCH with SL HARQ-ACK report after resolving the overlapping PUCCH except for PUCCH transmission and/or PUSCH transmission with SL HARQ-ACK report

Wherein the method comprises the steps of

The UE expects that the PUSCH transmission will not start after the last symbol received by the corresponding PDCCH before T _proc,2+d₁;

-T _proc,2 is PUSCH preparation time for the corresponding UE processing capability, assuming μ and N ₂,d_2,1 =0 [6, ts 38.214] based on the subsequent definition in such clause, and d ₁ is determined by the reported UE capability.

In the remainder of this clause, the UE multiplexes UCI with the same priority index in PUCCH or PUSCH before considering the restrictions on UE transmissions as described in clauses 11.1, 11.1.1, 11.2A and 17.2. It is assumed that PUCCH or PUSCH has the same priority index as the priority index of UCI multiplexed in PUCCH or PUSCH by the UE.

In the remainder of this clause, multiplexing or prioritization for the overlapping channels is for overlapping channels with the same priority index or for overlapping channels with PUCCHs carrying SL HARQ-ACK information.

If the UE is to transmit PUSCH without UL-SCH on the serving cell overlapping with PUCCH transmission on the serving cell containing the positive SR information, the UE does not transmit the PUSCH.

If the UE is to transmit CSI reports on overlapping physical channels, the UE applies the priority rule described in [6, TS 38.214] for multiplexing of CSI reports.

If UE

-UCI is to be multiplexed in PUCCH transmission overlapping PUSCH transmission, and

PUSCH and PUCCH transmissions meeting the conditions for UCI multiplexing in clause 9.2.5, UE

-If the UE multiplexes aperiodic or semi-persistent CSI reports in PUSCH, only HARQ-ACK information from UCI in PUSCH transmission (if present) is multiplexed, and PUCCH is not transmitted;

-if the UE does not multiplex aperiodic or semi-persistent CSI reports in PUSCH, only HARQ-ACK information from UCI in PUSCH transmission and CSI reports (if present) are multiplexed, and PUCCH is not transmitted.

If the UE multiplexes aperiodic CSI in PUSCH and the UE will multiplex UCI including HARQ-ACK information in PUCCH overlapping with PUSCH and satisfies the timing condition for overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH in clause 9.2.5, the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information only in PUSCH and does not transmit PUCCH.

When a UE transmits a plurality of PUSCHs on respective serving cells in a slot referring to a slot for PUCCH transmission and the plurality of PUSCHs overlap with PUCCHs carrying UCI in the slot, the UE selects all PUSCHs overlapping with the PUCCH as candidate PUSCHs for UCI multiplexing within the slot.

If the UE is to transmit a single PUSCH scheduled by a DCI format containing a DAI field on a serving cell in a slot referring to a slot for PUCCH transmission without any other PUSCH to be transmitted on any serving cell in the slot and the UE is not certain of any PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK information in the slot, or if the UE indicates a corresponding capability mux-HARQ-ACK-withoutPUCCH-onPUSCH and the UE transmits a plurality of PUSCHs on the corresponding serving cell in a slot referring to a slot for PUCCH transmission and the UE is not certain of any PUCCH carrying HARQ-ACK information in the slot and at least one of the plurality of PUSCHs is scheduled by a DCI format containing a DAI field, the UE selects the single PUSCH or all of the plurality of PUSCHs in the slot as a candidate PUSCH for HARQ-ACK multiplexing within the slot, except any PUSCH scheduled by a format containing a DAI field configured with a pdschac-ACK-codebook=dynamic or a pdschac-ACK-Codebook-ACK-16 in the case where the UE is configured with a pdschac-HARQ-ACK-16 is equal to 0 or a half-dsac-16.

The UE determines PUSCH for UCI multiplexing by applying the following procedure to candidate PUSCH as described in the clause:

-if the candidate PUSCHs contain a first PUSCH scheduled by the DCI format and a second PUSCH configured by the respective ConfiguredGrantConfig or semiPersistentOnPUSCH, and the UE is to multiplex UCI in one of the candidate PUSCHs, and the candidate PUSCH satisfies the condition for UCI multiplexing in clause 9.2.5, the UE multiplexes UCI in the PUSCH from the first PUSCH.

-If the UE is to multiplex UCI in one of the candidate PUSCHs and the UE is not to multiplex aperiodic CSI in any of the candidate PUSCHs, the UE multiplexes UCI in the PUSCH of the serving cell with the smallest ServCellIndex subject to the condition for UCI multiplexing being met in clause 9.2.5. If the UE transmits more than one PUSCH in a slot on the serving cell with the smallest ServCellIndex satisfying the condition for UCI multiplexing in clause 9.2.5, the UE multiplexes UCI in the earliest PUSCH transmitted in the slot by the UE.

If the UE transmits one PUSCH on a plurality of slots scheduled by DCI format 0_1 or transmits a plurality of PUSCHs on a plurality of slots, and the UE will transmit a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information on a single slot overlapping PUSCH transmission in one or more of the plurality of slots, and PUSCH transmission in the one or more slots satisfies the condition for multiplexing HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in clause 9.2.5, the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in PUSCH transmission in the one or more slots. If the UE would not transmit a single slot PUCCH with HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in one of the plurality of slots in the absence of PUSCH transmission, the UE does not multiplex HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in PUSCH transmission in the slot.

If the UE transmits PUSCH with repetition type B and the UE is to transmit PUCCH with HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information on a single slot overlapping PUSCH transmissions in one or more slots, then the UE expects all actual repetitions of PUSCH transmissions to overlap PUCCH transmissions [6, ts 38.214] to satisfy the condition in clause 9.2.5 for multiplexing HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information and the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK and/or CSI information in the earliest actual PUSCH repetition of PUSCH transmissions that are to overlap PUCCH transmissions and contain more than one symbol. The UE does not expect that all actual repetitions that would overlap with PUCCH transmissions do not contain more than one symbol.

If PUSCH transmissions on a plurality of slots are scheduled by a DCI format containing a DAI field, the value of the DAI field is suitable for multiplexing HARQ-ACK information in PUSCH transmissions in any slot of the plurality of slots in which the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information.

When the UE is to multiplex HARQ-ACK information in PUSCH transmission configured by ConfiguredGrantConfig and containing CG-UCI [5, ts 38.212], if the UE is provided with CG-UCI-Multiplexing, the UE multiplexes HARQ-ACK information in PUSCH transmission; otherwise, if the HARQ-ACK information and PUSCH have the same priority index, the UE does not transmit PUSCH and multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information in PUCCH transmission or another PUSCH transmission; if the HARQ-ACK information and PUSCH have different priority indexes, the UE does not transmit a channel having a smaller priority index.

Hereinafter, a DCI format having a CRC scrambled with a C-RNTI or a CS-RNTI or a MCS-C-RNTI is also referred to as a unicast DCI format, and a DCI format having a CRC scrambled with a G-RNTI or a G-CS-RNTI for multicasting is also referred to as a multicast DCI format. The corresponding unicast DCI format is DCI format 0_0/0_1/0_2/1_0/1_1/1_2 and the multicast DCI format is DCI format 4_1/4_2[4, TS 38.212]. PDSCH reception scheduled by or associated with a unicast or multicast DCI format is also referred to as unicast or multicast PDSCH reception or unicast or multicast HARQ-ACK information, respectively.

9.2.5 UE procedure for reporting multiple UCI types

This term applies to the case where the UE has resources for PUCCH transmission or for PUCCH and PUSCH transmission overlapping in time and each PUCCH transmission is on a single slot without repetition. Any case where PUCCH transmission has repetition over multiple slots is described in clause 9.2.6. If the UE is configured with multiple PUCCH resources in a slot to transmit CSI reports

-If the UE is not provided with multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList or if PUCCH resources for transmission of CSI reports do not overlap in the slot, the UE determines the first resource corresponding to CSI report with highest priority [6, ts 38.214]

-If the first resource contains PUCCH format 2 and if there is a remaining resource in the slot that does not overlap with the first resource, the UE determines the CSI report with the highest priority among CSI reports with corresponding resources from the remaining resources, and the corresponding second resource as an additional resource for CSI reporting

-If the first resource contains PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4, and if there is a remaining resource that contains PUCCH format 2 and that does not overlap with the first resource in the slot, the UE determines the CSI report with the highest priority among CSI reports with corresponding resources from the remaining resources, and the corresponding second resource as an additional resource for CSI reporting

-If the UE is provided with multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList and if any of the multiple PUCCH resources overlap, the UE multiplexes all CSI reports in resources from the resources provided by multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList as described in clause 9.2.5.2.

If the UE is provided simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI, the UE multiplexes DL HARQ-ACK information with or without SR and CSI report in the same PUCCH; otherwise, the UE discards the CSI report and includes only DL HARQ-ACK information with or without SR in the PUCCH. If the UE is to transmit multiple PUCCHs in a slot containing DL HARQ-ACK information and CSI reports, the UE expects the same configuration provided for simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI for each of PUCCH formats 2, 3, and 4.

If the UE is to multiplex CSI reports containing partial 2CSI reports in PUCCH resources, the UE determines PUCCH resources and the number of PRBs for PUCCH resources or the number of partial 2CSI reports, assuming that each of the CSI reports indicates rank 1 or, where applicable, {1,1} rank combination. If the higher layer parameter CSI-ReportMode of the CSI report is set to 'mode 2', the UE determines the PUCCH resource and the number of PRBs for the PUCCH resource or the number of partial 2CSI reports, assuming that each CRI in the CSI report is associated with a resource pair.

If the UE is to transmit multiple overlapping PUCCHs in a slot or overlapping PUCCHs and PUSCHs in a slot and when applicable as described in clauses 9.2.5.1 and 9.2.5.2, the UE is configured to multiplex different UCI types in one PUCCH and at least one of the multiple overlapping PUCCHs or PUSCHs is responsive to DCI format detection of the UE, the UE multiplexes all corresponding UCI types if the following conditions are met.

If the UE is to transmit multiple overlapping PUCCHs in a slot or overlapping PUCCHs and PUSCHs in a slot, one of the PUCCHs contains HARQ-ACK information received in response to the SPS PDSCH and any PUSCHs are not in response to DCI format detection, the UE expects the first symbol S ₀ of the earliest PUCCH or PUSCH to satisfy the first of the previous timeline conditions, except that components of the SCS configuration associated to the PDCCH for scheduling the PDSCH or PUSCH are not present in the timeline conditions.

If the UE is to transmit a plurality of PUCCHs containing HARQ-ACK information and/or SRs and/or CSI reports in a slot, and any PUCCH having HARQ-ACK information in the slot satisfies the above-described timing conditions and does not overlap with any other PUCCH or PUSCH in the slot that does not satisfy the above-described timing conditions, the UE multiplexes the HARQ-ACK information and/or SR and/or CSI reports and determines a corresponding PUCCH for transmission in the slot according to the following pseudocode. The timing condition is not applicable if the plurality of PUCCHs do not contain HARQ-ACK information and do not overlap with any PUSCH transmissions by the UE in response to DCI format detection by the UE.

If it is

The UE is not provided with multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList, and

The resources for PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information in response to SPS PDSCH reception and/or the resources for PUCCH associated with SR occasion overlap in time with the two resources for respective PUCCH transmission with two CSI reports, and

-There are no resources for PUCCH transmission with HARQ-ACK information in response to DCI format detection that overlap in time with any one of the previous resources, and

The following pseudo code results in the UE attempting to determine a single PUCCH resource from the HARQ-ACK and/or SR resources and the two PUCCH resources with CSI reporting

UE

-Multiplexing HARQ-ACK information and/or SRs in resources for PUCCH transmission with CSI report with higher priority, and

-Not transmitting PUCCH with CSI report with lower priority

Setting Q as a set of resources for transmitting a corresponding PUCCH in a single slot without repetition, wherein

-The resource with the earlier first symbol is placed before the resource with the later first symbol

For two resources with the same first symbol, the resource with longer duration is placed before the resource with shorter duration

-Placement is arbitrary for two resources with the same first symbol and the same duration

The above three steps for the set Q are based on the subsequent pseudo code for the function order (Q)

Resources for negative SR transmission that do not overlap with resources for HARQ-ACK or CSI transmission are excluded from set Q

-If the UE is not provided simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI and the resources for transmission of HARQ-ACK information contain PUCCH format 0 or PUCCH format 2, the resources containing PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 for CSI report transmission are excluded from set Q if they overlap with any resources from the resources for HARQ-ACK information transmission

-If the UE is not provided simultaneousHARQ-ACK-CSI and at least one of the resources for HARQ-ACK information transmission contains PUCCH format 1, PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4

Resources containing PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 for CSI report transmission are excluded from set Q

Resources containing PUCCH format 2 for CSI report transmission are excluded from set Q if they overlap with any resources from the resources for HARQ-ACK information transmission

9.2.5.0 UE procedure for prioritization between SL HARQ-ACK information in PUCCH and DL HARQ-ACK or SR or CSI in PUCCH

The priority value of PUCCH transmissions is as described in clause 16.2.4.3.1.

Prioritization between SL HARQ-ACK information in a first PUCCH and DL HARQ-ACK or SR or CSI in a second PUCCH

If the second PUCCH has priority index 1,

-If sl-PriorityThreshold-UL-URLLC is provided

-If the minimum priority value of the first PUCCH is less than sl-PriorityThreshold-UL-URLLC, the UE transmits the first PUCCH; otherwise, the UE transmits a second PUCCH

-Otherwise

-UE transmitting a second PUCCH

-Otherwise

-If the minimum priority value of the first PUCCH is less than sl-PriorityThreshold, the UE transmitting the first PUCCH; otherwise, the UE transmits a second PUCCH

When the UE determines to transmit the second PUCCH, the UE determines a single resource for multiplexing UCI in the second PUCCH as described in clauses 9.2.5.1 and 9.2.5.2.

9.2.5.1 UE procedure for multiplexing HARQ-ACK or CSI and SR in PUCCH

Hereinafter, as determined by schedulingRequestResourceId, a schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR2 if the UE provides twoLRRcapability, and the set of schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell, the UE is configured to transmit K PUCCHs for the respective K SRs in the slot with SR transmission opportunities that will overlap with the transmission of the PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information from the UE in the slot or with the transmission of the PUCCH with CSI report from the UE in the slot.

If the UE is to transmit PUCCH with a positive SR and at most two HARQ-ACK information bits in the resource using PUCCH format0, the UE transmits PUCCH in the resource using PUCCH format0 in PRB for HARQ-ACK information as described in clause 9.2.3. The UE determines the values of m ₀ and m _CS for calculating the value of cyclic shift a [4, ts 38.211], where m ₀ is provided by INITIALCYCLICSHIFT of PUCCH-format0 and m _CS is determined from the value of one HARQ-ACK information bit or from the values of two HARQ-ACK information bits, as shown in table 9.2.5-1 and table 9.2.5-2, respectively.

If the UE is to transmit a negative SR and at most two HARQ-ACK information bits in the resource using PUCCH format 0, the UE transmits PUCCH in the resource using PUCCH format 0 for HARQ-ACK information as described in clause 9.2.3.

If the UE is to transmit SR in the slot in the resource using PUCCH format 0 and HARQ-ACK information bits in the resource using PUCCH format 1, the UE transmits PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information bits only in the resource using PUCCH format 1.

If the UE is to transmit a positive SR in a slot in a first resource using PUCCH format 1 and at most two HARQ-ACK information bits in a second resource using PUCCH format 1, the UE transmits a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK information bits in the first resource using PUCCH format 1 as described in clause 9.2.3. If the UE is not to transmit a positive SR in the slot in the resource using PUCCH format 1 and is to transmit at most two HARQ-ACK information bits in the resource using PUCCH format 1, the UE transmits a PUCCH for HARQ-ACK information in the resource using PUCCH format 1 as described in clause 9.2.3.

If the UE were to transmit a PUCCH with O _ACK HARQ-ACK information bits in the slot in the resources using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4, as described in clauses 9.2.1 and 9.2.3, then the ascending order of the values of schedulingRequestResourceId, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR2 if the UE provides twoLRRcapability, and schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell would represent a positive or negative SRThe bit is appended to the HARQ-ACK information bit and the UE transmits the combined in PUCCH using the resources with PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 determined by the UE as described in clauses 9.2.1 and 9.2.3And UCI bits. If one of the SRs is a positive LRR, then theThe value of the bit indicates a positive LRR. The saidAll zero values of the bits represent negative SR values across all K SRs.

If the UE were to transmit PUCCH with O _CSI CSI reporting bits in the slot in the resource using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4, then the ascending order of the values of schedulingRequestResourceId, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR-SCell, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR, schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-BFR2 if the UE provides twoLRRcapability, and schedulingRequestResourceId associated with schedulingRequestID-LBT-SCell would represent a corresponding negative or positive SR, as described in clause 9.2.5.2Position-advanced to CSI information bits, and UE transmits the data with combination in resources using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4PUCCH of the UCI bits for CSI reporting. If one of the SRs is a positive LRR, then theThe value of the bit indicates a positive LRR. The saidAll zero values of the bits represent negative SR values across all K SRs.

If the UE is in the presence ofTransmitting a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) signal having O _ACK HARQ-ACK information bits using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3 in PUCCH resources of each PRB,PUCCH with SR bits and O _CRC CRC bits, the number of PRBs that the UE will use for PUCCH transmissionIs determined as the minimum number of PRBs, which is less than or equal to the number of PRBs provided by nrofPRBs in PUCCH-format2 or nrofPRBs in PUCCH-format3 and starting from the first PRB of the number of PRBs, which results in And if itThen Wherein the method comprises the steps ofQ _m, and r are defined in clause 9.2.5.2. For PUCCH format 3, if the channel is allocated according to [4, ts 38.211],Not equal to Will beIncreases to nrofPRBs to the nearest allowable value [12, TS 38.331]. If it isThen the UE is atPUCCH is transmitted on each PRB.

If the UE is provided through interface 0 in InterlaceAllocationA first interleaving of PRBs and transmitting a frame having O _ACK HARQ-ACK information bits using PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 3,PUCCH with SR bits and O _CRC CRC bits, then UE is inTransmitting PUCCH on the first interlace; otherwise, if the UE is provided with the second interlace through the interlace1 in the PUCCH-format2 or PUCCH-format3, the UE transmits the PUCCH on the first interlace and the second interlace.

5.4.4 Scheduling request

A scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR) is used to request UL-SCH resources for new transmissions.

The MAC entity may be configured with zero, one, or more SR configurations. The SR configuration consists of a set of PUCCH resources for SRs that span different BWP and cells. For logical channels or for SCell beam failure recovery (see clause 5.17) and for consistent LBT failure recovery (see clause 5.21), at most one PUCCH resource for SR is configured per BWP. For logical channels serving radio bearers configured with SDTs, PUCCH resources for SRs are not configured for SDTs. For beam failure recovery of the BFD-RS set of serving cells, at most two PUCCH resources for SR are configured per BWP. For positioning measurement gap activation/deactivation requests, a dedicated SR configuration is configured.

Each SR configuration corresponds to one or more logical channels and/or SCell beam failure recovery and/or beam failure recovery of a consistent LBT failure recovery and/or BFD-RS set and/or positioning measurement gap activation/deactivation requests. Beam failure recovery, BFD-RS set beam failure recovery, and consistent LBT failure recovery per logical channel, SCell beam failure recovery, may map to zero or one SR configuration configured by RRC. The SR configuration of the logical channel triggering the BSR (clause 5.4.5) or beam failure recovery of the SCell beam failure recovery or BFD-RS set or consistent LBT failure recovery (clause 5.21) if this configuration exists or the positioning measurement gap activation/deactivation request (clause 5.25) is considered as the corresponding SR configuration for the triggered SR. Any SR configuration may be used for SRs triggered by the preemptive BSR (clause 5.4.7) or the timing advance report (clause 5.4.8).

The RRC configures the following parameters for the scheduling request procedure:

-SR-inhibit timer (per SR configuration);

SR-TransMax (per SR configuration).

The following UE variables are used for the scheduling request procedure:

sr_counter (configuration per SR).

If the SR is triggered and there are no pending other SRs corresponding to the same SR configuration, the MAC entity sets sr_counter for the corresponding SR configuration to 0.

When the SR is triggered, it will be considered pending until it is cancelled.

All pending SRs of BSR triggered according to BSR procedure (clause 5.4.5) prior to the MAC PDU set will be cancelled and each respective SR-probits timer will be stopped when a MAC PDU is transmitted and this PDU contains a long or short BSR MAC CE containing buffer status until (and including) the last event that triggered the BSR (see clause 5.4.5) prior to the MAC PDU set. When the UL grant can accommodate all pending data available for transmission, all pending SRs for BSRs triggered according to BSR procedure (clause 5.4.5) will be cancelled and each respective SR-inhibit timer will be stopped.

For each pending SR that is not triggered for the serving cell according to BSR procedure (clause 5.4.5), the MAC entity should:

1> if this SR is triggered by a preemptive BSR procedure (see clause 5.4.7) before the set of MAC PDUs, and a MAC PDU containing the relevant preemptive BSR MAC CE is transmitted; or (b)

1> If this SR is triggered by beam failure recovery of the SCell (see clause 5.17) and transmits a MAC PDU, and this PDU contains a MAC CE for the BFR containing beam failure recovery information of this SCell; or (b)

1> If the SR is triggered by beam failure recovery of the BFD-RS set for the serving cell (see clause 5.17) and transmits a MAC PDU, and the PDU contains an enhanced BFR MAC CE or truncated enhanced BFR MAC CE containing beam failure recovery information for the BFD-RS set of the serving cell; or (b)

1> If this SR is triggered by beam failure recovery of the SCell (see clause 5.17) and this SCell is deactivated (see clause 5.9); or (b)

1> If this SR is triggered by beam failure recovery for the BFD-RS set of scells (see clause 5.17) and this SCell is deactivated (see clause 5.9); or (b)

1> If the SR is triggered by a positioning measurement gap activation/deactivation request (see clause 5.25), and the positioning measurement gap activation/deactivation request MAC CE that triggered the SR has been cancelled; or (b)

1> If this SR is triggered by consistent LBT failure recovery of the SCell (see clause 5.21) and transmits a MAC PDU, and the MAC PDU includes an LBT failure MAC CE indicating a consistent LBT failure of this SCell; or (b)

1> If this SR is triggered by a consistent LBT failure recovery of the SCell (see clause 5.21), and all triggered consistent LBT failures of this SCell are cancelled; or (b)

1> If this SR is triggered by a timing advance report (see clause 5.4.8) and all triggered timing advance reports are cancelled:

2> cancel the pending SR and stop the corresponding SR-inhibit timer (if running).

Only PUCCH resources that are active at the time of the SR transmission opportunity on BWP are considered valid.

As long as at least one SR is pending, for each pending SR, the MAC entity will:

1> if the MAC entity has no valid PUCCH resources configured for pending SRs:

2> initiate a random access procedure on SpCell (see clause 5.1) and cancel the pending SR.

1> Otherwise, for SR configuration corresponding to pending SR:

2> when the MAC entity has an SR transmission occasion for the configured SR on the valid PUCCH resource; and

2> If SR-inhibit timer is not in operation at the time of SR transmission opportunity; and is also provided with

2> If PUCCH resources for SR transmission occasion do not overlap with measurement gap:

3> if the PUCCH resource for SR transmission occasion is overlapped with neither UL-SCH resource nor SL-SCH resource, the configuration of simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH or simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH-SecondaryPUCCHgroup or simultaneousSR-PUSCH-diffPUCCH-Groups does not allow simultaneous transmission of the UL-SCH resource with SR; or (b)

3> If the MAC entity is able to perform this SR transmission simultaneously with the transmission of the SL-SCH resource; or (b)

3> If the MAC entity is configured with lch-basedPrioritization and the PUCCH resources for the SR transmission occasion do not overlap with the PUSCH duration of the uplink grant received in the random access response, or do not overlap with the PUSCH duration of the uplink grant addressed to the temporary C-RNTI, or do not overlap with the PUSCH duration of the MSGA payload, and the PUCCH resources for the SR transmission occasion of the pending SR triggered as specified in clause 5.4.5 overlap with any other UL-SCH resources, and the physical layer may send the SR on one valid PUCCH resource for the SR and the priority of the logical channel triggering the SR is higher than the priority of the uplink grant for any UL-SCH resource, wherein the uplink grant has not been de-prioritized and its simultaneous transmission with the SR grant is not allowed by the configuration of simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH or simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH-SecondaryPUCCHgroup or simultaneousSR-PUSCH-diffPUCCHgroups and the priority of the uplink grant is determined as specified in clause 5.4.1; or (b)

3> If sl-PrioritizationThres and UL-PrioritizationThres are both configured and PUCCH resources for SR transmission occasions of triggered pending SRs overlap with any UL-SCH resources carrying MAC PDUs as specified in clause 5.22.1.5 and the priority value of the triggering SR as specified in clause 5.22.1.5 is lower than sl-PrioritizationThres and the highest priority value of the logical channels in the MAC PDUs is higher than or equal to UL-PrioritizationThres and any MAC CE prioritized as described in clause 5.4.3.1.3 is not included in the MAC PDUs and the upper layer does not prioritize the MAC PDUs; or (b)

3> If the SL-SCH resource overlaps with PUCCH resource for SR transmission occasion of the triggered pending SR (as specified in clause 5.4.5), and the MAC entity is not able to perform this SR transmission simultaneously with the transmission of the SL-SCH resource, and any transmission on the SL-SCH resource is not prioritized or the priority value of the logical channel triggering the SR is lower than ul-PrioritizationThres (if configured) as described in clause 5.22.1.3.1a; or (b)

3> If the SL-SCH resource overlaps with the PUCCH resource for the SR transmission occasion of the triggered pending SR (as specified in clause 5.22.1.5), and the MAC entity is not able to perform this SR transmission simultaneously with the transmission of the SL-SCH resource, and the priority of the triggering SR determined as specified in clause 5.22.1.5 is higher than the priority of the MAC PDU determined for the SL-SCH resource as specified in clause 5.22.1.3.1a):

4> treat SR transmission as prioritized SR transmission.

4> Treat other overlapping uplink grants (if present) as de-prioritized uplink grants except for overlapping uplink grants that are allowed to be transmitted simultaneously by the simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH or simultaneousPUCCH-PUSCH-SecondaryPUCCHgroup or simultaneousSR-PUSCH-diffPUCCH-Groups' configurations;

4> if the de-prioritized uplink grant is a configured uplink grant with autonomousTx configured that its PUSCH has started:

5> stop configuredGrantTimer of the corresponding HARQ process for the de-prioritized uplink grant;

4 Target

4.1SI target

The goal of this study was to identify and evaluate the potential enhancement of duplex evolution supporting NR TDD in unpaired spectrum.

In this study, the following is assumed:

Duplex enhancement on gNB side

UE-side half duplex operation

There is no limitation on the frequency range

The detailed objectives are as follows:

Study of sub-band non-overlapping full duplex and potential enhancements for dynamic/flexible TDD.

-Identifying possible scenarios and evaluating their feasibility and performance (RAN 1).

-Study of inter-gcb and inter-UE CLI processing and identify a solution (RAN 1) to manage said processing.

The effect of the process on the inter-gNB interface (RAN 3) was investigated if necessary.

In case of non-overlapping full duplex of sub-bands, intra-sub-band CLI and inter-sub-band CLI are considered.

Assuming its coexistence in co-channels and adjacent channels, the performance of the identified scheme and its impact on legacy operation (RAN 1) is studied.

-Studying the impact on RF requirements (RAN 4) taking into account self-interference at the gNB, inter-subband CLI and inter-operator CLI and inter-subband CLI at the UE.

Study of the impact on RF requirements (RAN 4) taking into account the co-existence with the conventionally operated adjacent channels.

Early on, it should involve RAN4 to provide the necessary information to RAN1 as needed and to investigate the feasibility aspects due to high impact in antenna/RF and algorithm design, including inter-antenna isolation, TX IM suppression in the RX part, filtering and digital interference suppression.

Overview of regulatory aspects (RAN 4) that must be considered when deploying identified duplex enhancements in TDD unpaired spectrum.

Note that: for potential enhancements to dynamic/flexible TDD, the results of the discussion in Rel-15 and Rel-16 are utilized while avoiding repetition of the same discussion.

Problem and solution

As mentioned above, a transmission and/or reception may be canceled and/or paused and/or not performed for several reasons. For example, a User Equipment (UE) may be scheduled with two transmissions (e.g., overlapping each other in the time domain and/or in one slot) and the UE may be able to transmit one of them and discard the other. The determination of which of the two transmissions/receptions is performed (e.g., and the other is discarded or suspended) may be based on several factors, such as the content of the transmission/reception, the channel/signal used for the transmission/reception, the priority of the transmission/reception, the manner in which the transmission/reception is scheduled, or based on predetermined rules. In another example, the UE may determine to cancel transmission and/or reception based on the slot format. The UE may cancel the transmission on the symbol if/when the symbol is indicated as Downlink (DL). By introducing sub-band non-overlapping full duplex, some additional dropping and/or cancellation is introduced. For example, the transmitted frequency resources may be out of Uplink (UL) sub-band and/or within DL sub-band, and the transmission may be canceled. When more than one cancellation occurs, some further design may be required. For example, the UE may be scheduled to perform two transmissions. Based on certain criteria, such as the priority or other factors/criteria mentioned above or herein, the UE may perform the first transmission and cancel the second transmission. However, the first transmission may be further cancelled by a sub-band Slot Form Indicator (SFI), e.g., the first transmission is out of UL sub-band and/or within DL sub-band. It will then cause both transmissions to be cancelled even if the UE is able to perform one of them, e.g. especially if/when the second transmission is within the UL sub-band.

The concept of the invention is to use a specific sequence to process one or more (cancellation) rules. The UE first determines whether to perform or cancel one or more transmissions/receptions based on a first rule. The UE first determines whether to perform or cancel one or more transmissions/receptions based on the first rule instead of the second rule. The UE discards the first transmission/reception based on the first rule. The UE does not discard the second transmission/reception based on the second rule. The UE transmits the second transmission/reception based on the first rule. The UE does not transmit the first transmission/reception based on the second rule. After determining whether to perform or cancel one or more transmissions/receptions based on the first rule, the UE may or may not determine whether to perform or cancel one or more transmissions/receptions based on the second rule. After determining whether to perform or cancel one or more transmission/reception based on the first rule, if the UE is unable to perform the one or more (remaining) transmission/reception, the UE further determines whether to perform or cancel one or more transmission/reception based on the second rule. After determining whether to perform or cancel one or more transmission/reception based on the first rule, if the UE is able to perform the one or more (remaining) transmission/reception, the UE does not determine whether to perform or cancel one or more transmission/reception based on the second rule. Based on the first rule, the UE will cancel or discard the first transmission/reception and perform the second transmission/reception. Based on the second rule, the UE will cancel or discard the second transmission/reception and perform the first transmission/reception. The first rule and/or the second rule may be one or more of the following: collision with subband SFIs, collision with SFIs, priority of transmission, content of transmission/reception, channel/signal type for transmission/reception, uplink Control Information (UCI) type, UL grant or DL assignment to be overwritten, scheduling Request (SR) cancellation due to overlap with Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

In one embodiment, the UE is scheduled and/or configured to perform or receive the first transmission and/or the second transmission. The UE is not able to perform or receive both the first transmission and/or the second transmission. The UE performs or receives the first transmission on non-subband full duplex (SBFD) symbols, e.g., symbols not configured for SBFD. The UE cancels or pauses the second transmission on non-SBFD symbols, e.g., symbols that are not configured for SBFD. The UE performs or receives the second transmission on SBFD symbols, e.g., symbols configured for SBFD. The UE cancels or pauses SBFD symbols, e.g., configured for the first transmission on the symbol of SBFD. If/when the second transmission is for DL and the first transmission overlaps or is within a DL sub-band, the UE performs or receives the second transmission on SBFD symbols, e.g., symbols configured for SBFD. If/when the second transmission is for the UL and the first transmission overlaps or is within the UL sub-band, the UE performs or receives the second transmission on SBFD symbols, e.g., symbols configured for SBFD. If/when the first transmission is for DL and the first transmission overlaps or is within the UL sub-band, the UE cancels or suspends SBFD symbols, e.g., the first transmission on symbols configured for SBFD.

Based on the second (cancellation) rule, the UE will cancel the second transmission and perform the first transmission, e.g., similar or identical to the operation the UE did in the non-SBFD symbols. The second rule may be a conventional cancellation rule (e.g., to determine which transmission to cancel, e.g., as performed in the background teachings above). The first rule is for SBFD. The first rule is to check whether the transmission direction is consistent between the sub-band SFI and transmission. The first transmission is cancelled due to the first rule because it is within or overlaps with a sub-band having a different transmission direction. The second transmission is performed due to the first rule because the sub-bands having the same transmission direction therein are within or overlap with. The UE first processes the first rule.

Problem and solution

To facilitate UL and DL occurring simultaneously (e.g., on one/the same symbol and/or at least from the base station perspective) but on different frequency resources, UL and/or DL subbands are introduced. The UE may implement an appropriate transmission direction based on information related to UL and/or DL subbands. The UE may detect or determine whether there is a collision in transmission/reception in the transmission direction. For example, the UE is configured or scheduled to perform UL transmissions on a set of frequency resources, e.g., on a set of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs). Some of the set of frequency resources may overlap or be within the UL sub-band and some of the frequency resources may overlap or be within the DL sub-band. In this case, for example, a partial overlap or partial collision, the UE may need to determine whether to cancel the entire transmission or to perform part of the transmission (e.g., and cancel another part of the transmission) based on some criteria as appropriate.

The first concept of the present invention is to determine whether to cancel the entire transmission or to perform the partial transmission based on the transmission type when the partial collision occurs. The UE determines whether to cancel the entire transmission or to perform the partial transmission based on a channel or signal used for transmission when the partial collision occurs. When/if a partial collision occurs for PUCCH transmission, the UE cancels the entire transmission for the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). When/if a partial collision occurs for a PDCCH transmission, the UE cancels the entire transmission for the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH). When/if a partial collision occurs for preamble transmission, the UE cancels the entire transmission for the preamble. When/if a partial collision occurs for preamble transmission, the UE performs partial transmission for PUSCH. When/if a partial collision occurs for preamble transmission, the UE performs partial transmission for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). When/if a partial collision occurs for SRS transmission, the UE performs partial transmission for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). When/if a partial collision occurs for SRS transmission, the UE cancels the entire transmission for SRS.

The second concept of the present invention is to determine whether to cancel the entire transmission or to perform the partial transmission based on the amount of the conflicting frequency resources. When/if the amount of collision frequency resources is greater than a threshold (e.g., X PRBs), the UE cancels the entire transmission. The UE performs partial transmissions when/if the amount of conflicting frequency resources is less than a threshold. When/if the ratio of conflicting frequency resources is greater than a threshold (e.g., 50%), the UE cancels the entire transmission. The UE performs partial transmission when/if the ratio of the collision frequency resources is less than a threshold (e.g., X PRBs).

When the UE performs partial transmission, the UE performs transmission on frequency resources having a consistent transmission direction and cancels or does not perform on frequency resources having inconsistent or conflicting transmission directions. When the UE performs partial transmission, the UE performs transmission on frequency resources within the UL sub-band and cancels or does not perform on other frequency resources within the DL sub-band.

In one embodiment, the UE is instructed to perform or receive transmissions on a set of frequency resources. The set of frequency resources includes a certain number of PRBs. A first portion of the set of frequency resources (e.g., a first set of PRBs) may be within the UL subband. A second portion of the set of frequency resources (e.g., the first set of PRBs) may be within the DL subband. The transmission may be a UL transmission. The first portion of the set of frequency resources may be within a DL subband. The second portion of the set of frequency resources may be within the UL subband. The transmission may be a DL transmission. The first portion of the set of frequency resources has a consistent transmission direction. The second part of the set of frequency resources has inconsistent or conflicting transmission directions. The UE determines whether to cancel the transmission or to perform the transmission on a first portion of the set of frequency resources based on a channel or signal carrying the transmission. When/if the UE cancels the transmission, the UE does not perform the transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources and does not perform the transmission on the second portion of the set of frequency resources. When/if the UE performs a transmission on a first portion of the set of frequency resources, the UE does not perform a transmission on a second portion of the set of frequency resources and/or the UE cancels a transmission on the second portion of the set of frequency resources. If/when the transmission is a PUCCH transmission, the UE cancels the transmission. The UE cancels the transmission if/when the transmission is a preamble transmission. If/when the transmission is a PDCCH transmission, the UE cancels the transmission. If/when the transmission is an SRS transmission, the UE cancels the transmission. If/when the transmission is an SRS transmission, the UE performs the transmission on a first portion of the set of frequency resources. If/when the transmission is a PUSCH transmission, the UE performs the transmission on the first part of the set of frequency resources. If/when the transmission is a PDSCH transmission, the UE performs the transmission on a first portion of the set of frequency resources. The set of frequency resources may be indicated by DCI. The set of frequency resources may be indicated by a resource allocation field. The set of frequency resources may be configured by a Radio Resource Control (RRC).

In another embodiment, the UE is instructed to perform or receive transmissions on a set of frequency resources. The set of frequency resources includes a certain number of PRBs. A first portion of the set of frequency resources (e.g., a first set of PRBs) may be within the UL subband. A second portion of the set of frequency resources (e.g., the first set of PRBs) may be within the DL subband. The transmission may be a UL transmission. The first portion of the set of frequency resources may be within a DL subband. The second portion of the set of frequency resources may be within the UL subband. The transmission may be a DL transmission. The first portion of the set of frequency resources has a consistent transmission direction. The second part of the set of frequency resources has inconsistent or conflicting transmission directions. The UE determines whether to cancel or perform transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources based on the number of PRBs within the first portion of the set of frequency resources. The UE determines whether to cancel the transmission or to perform the transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources based on the number of PRBs within the UL sub-band. The UE determines whether to cancel the transmission or to perform the transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources based on the number of PRBs within the DL subband. When/if the UE cancels the transmission, the UE does not perform the transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources and does not perform the transmission on the second portion of the set of frequency resources. When/if the UE performs a transmission on a first portion of the set of frequency resources, the UE does not perform a transmission on a second portion of the set of frequency resources and/or the UE cancels a transmission on the second portion of the set of frequency resources. The UE cancels the transmission if/when the number of PRBs within the first part of the frequency resource set is greater than the threshold. The UE performs transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources if/when the number of PRBs within the first portion of the set of frequency resources is less than a threshold. The threshold may be in terms of the number of PRBs. The threshold may be indicated to the UE by the base station. The UE determines whether to cancel or perform transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources based on a ratio/proportion of PRBs within the first portion of the set of frequency resources. The UE determines whether to cancel the transmission or to perform the transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources based on the ratio/proportion of PRBs within the UL sub-band.

The UE performs transmission on the first portion of the set of frequency resources if/when the ratio/proportion of PRBs within the first portion of the set of frequency resources is less than a threshold. The set of frequency resources may be indicated by DCI. The set of frequency resources may be indicated by a resource allocation field. The set of frequency resources may be configured by RRC.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein after determining whether the first resource and the second resource are within the uplink sub-band, the user device determines whether to cancel the second transmission due to the first resource overlapping the second resource.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first transmission is a first physical uplink shared channel transmission.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second transmission is a triggered scheduling request transmission.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the user device determines whether to suspend or cancel the scheduling request transmission after determining whether the first resource and the second resource are within the uplink sub-band.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second transmission is a physical uplink control channel transmission for channel state information and/or hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein after determining whether the first resource and the second resource are within the uplink sub-band, the user equipment determines whether to multiplex the channel state information and/or the hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement into the first transmission.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the second transmission is a second physical uplink shared channel transmission.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein after determining whether the first resource and the second resource are within the uplink sub-band, the user device determines whether to cancel the second physical uplink shared channel due to priority.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the user device cancels or defers the first transmission if the first resource is not within the uplink sub-band and the second resource is within the uplink sub-band.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the user device cancels the second transmission if the first resource is within the uplink sub-band and the second resource is within the uplink sub-band.

12. A method of a user device, comprising:

configured to perform a scheduling request transmission in a first resource and configured to perform a physical uplink shared channel transmission in a second resource, wherein the first resource overlaps with the second resource in the time domain;

Determining whether to perform the scheduling request transmission and/or the physical uplink shared channel transmission based on whether the first resource or the second resource is within an uplink sub-band; and

Determining whether to perform the physical uplink shared channel transmission and cancel or suspend the scheduling request transmission after determining whether to perform the first transmission or the second transmission based on whether the first resource or the second resource is within the uplink sub-band.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein if the first resource and the second resource are within the uplink sub-band, the user device determines to perform the physical uplink shared channel transmission and cancel or suspend the scheduling request transmission.

14. The method according to claim 12, wherein the user equipment cancels the scheduling request transmission if the first resource is within the uplink sub-band and/or cancels the physical uplink shared channel transmission if the second resource is within the uplink sub-band.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the user device performs the scheduling request transmission and cancels the physical uplink shared channel transmission if the first resource is within the uplink sub-band and the second resource is not within the uplink sub-band.

16. A method of a user device, comprising:

configured or scheduled to perform a first transmission in a first resource and a second transmission in a second resource, wherein the first resource overlaps with the second resource in the time domain;

Determining whether to perform the first transmission or the second transmission based on whether the first resource or the second resource is within an uplink sub-band; and

After determining whether to perform the first transmission or the second transmission based on whether the first resource or the second resource is within the uplink sub-band, determining whether to multiplex the first transmission into the second transmission or determining whether to perform the first transmission or the second transmission based on priorities of the first transmission and the second transmission.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the user device multiplexes the first transmission into the second transmission if the first resource and the second resource are within the uplink sub-band.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the user device does not multiplex the first transmission into the second transmission if the first resource is within the uplink sub-band and the second resource is not within the uplink sub-band.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the user device performs the second transmission with a higher priority and cancels the first transmission with a lower priority if the first resource and the second resource are within the uplink sub-band.

20. The method of claim 16, wherein the user device performs the first transmission with a lower priority and cancels the second transmission with a higher priority if the first resource is within the uplink sub-band and the second resource is not within the uplink sub-band.
