Abstract
The disclosure relates in some aspects to multiplexing different types of traffic. Techniques are disclosed to facilitate puncturing one type of traffic with another type of traffic (e.g., traffic having more stringent latency and/or reliability requirements). In some aspects, these techniques mitigate potential loss of control information for the punctured traffic. In some aspects, the disclosed techniques are applicable to mobile broadband traffic and mission critical traffic.
Claims22
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- scheduling control signaling of first traffic on a first set of resource elements and data of the first traffic on a second set of resource elements, such that a portion of the first set of resource elements is protected from additional scheduling and comprises an indication of a portion of the second set of resource elements for additional control signaling of the first traffic;
- scheduling second traffic on the second set of resource elements;
- communicating, to another apparatus, a schedule indicative of the scheduling of the control signaling and the data of the first traffic and the scheduling of the second traffic;
- and
- communicating with the other apparatus according to the schedule.
An apparatus for communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory,
- the processor and the memory configured to:
- schedule control signaling of first traffic on a first set of resource elements and data of the first traffic on a second set of resource elements, such that a portion of the first set of resource elements is protected from additional scheduling and comprises an indication of a portion of the second set of resource elements for additional control signaling of the first traffic;
- schedule second traffic on the second set of resource elements;
- communicate, to another apparatus, a schedule indicative of the scheduling of the control signaling and the data of the first traffic and the scheduling of the second traffic;
- and
- communicate with the other apparatus according to the schedule.
A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
- receiving a schedule from another apparatus, wherein the schedule indicates scheduling of control signaling of first traffic on a first set of resource elements and scheduling of data of the first traffic on a second set of resource elements, such that a portion of the first set of resource elements is protected from additional scheduling and comprises an indication of a portion of the second set of resource elements for additional control signaling of the first traffic;
- receiving information according to the schedule;
- determining, based on the received information, whether the second traffic punctured any resource element for the first traffic;
- and
- processing the first traffic based on the determination.

- receive information according to the schedule;
- determine, based on the received information, whether the second traffic punctured at least one second resource element for the first traffic;
- and
- process the first traffic based on the determination.
