Resource allocation for a short transmission time interval (STTI) system

A wireless communication device for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• identify that a last resource block of a resource allocation for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is in a last allocable resource block group (RBG);
• and
• determine whether one or more additional resource blocks, subsequent to the last resource block, are included in the resource allocation for the PDSCH based at least in part on at least one of a reference signal type associated with the PDSCH, a quantity of the one or more additional resource blocks, or a downlink control information (DCI) format of the resource allocation, wherein, when the reference signal type associated with the PDSCH is a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) type, the wireless communication device is configured to determine that the one or more additional resource blocks are included in the resource allocation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless communication device, cause the one or more processors to:
• identify that a last resource block of a resource allocation for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is in a last allocable resource block group (RBG);
• and
• determine whether one or more additional resource blocks, subsequent to the last resource block, are included in the resource allocation for the PDSCH based at least in part on at least one of a reference signal type associated with the PDSCH, a quantity of the one or more additional resource blocks, or a downlink control information (DCI) format of the resource allocation, wherein, when the reference signal type associated with the PDSCH is a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) type, the wireless communication device is configured to determine that the one or more additional resource blocks are included in the resource allocation.
