The first DCI may indicate a first plurality of resources for one or more uplink transport blocks. A group common DCI may be received via a common control channel. The group common DCI may comprise a field indicating an uplink pre-emption indication. The uplink pre-emption indication may indicate a second plurality resources. One or more first resources may be punctured from the first plurality of resources. The one or more first resources may be overlapping resources of the first plurality of resources and the second plurality of resources. The one or more uplink transport blocks may be transmitted via remaining resources of the first plurality of resources after the puncturing. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving, by a wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) indicating a first plurality of resources for one or more uplink transport blocks; receiving, via a common control channel, a group common DCI, wherein: the group common DCI employs a first DCI format used for a pre-emption indication; the group common DCI comprises a field indicating whether the group common DCI is for a downlink pre-emption indication or an uplink pre-emption indication, and a value of the field indicates the uplink pre-emption indication; and the uplink pre-emption indication indicates a second plurality of resources; starting a discontinuous reception timer based on the pre-emption indication; puncturing one or more first resources from the first plurality of resources, wherein the one or more first resources are overlapping resources of the first plurality of resources and the second plurality of resources; and transmitting the one or more uplink transport blocks via remaining resources of the first plurality of resources after the puncturing; receiving, while the discontinuous reception timer is running, a second DCI indicating retransmission of the one or more uplink transport blocks; and retransmitting, by the wireless device, the one or more uplink transport blocks. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the field indicates a first value indicating that the group common DCI corresponds to an uplink pre-emption indication. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the first DCI indicates transmission parameters of the one or more uplink transport blocks. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the second plurality of resources are employed for an ultra-reliable low-latency communication service. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the first DCI format indicates that the group common DCI is to indicate pre-emption. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the second plurality of resources indicate time-domain and frequency-domain resources. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, further comprising receiving, by the wireless device, pre-emption indication configuration parameters comprising a radio network temporary identifier. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the second plurality of resources indicate time-domain and frequency-domain resources. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the wireless device, pre-emption indication configuration parameters comprising a radio network temporary identifier. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein: the pre-emption indication configuration parameters indicate a plurality of frequency regions and time regions; and the second plurality of resources are based on one or more first frequency regions and one or more first time regions. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the group common DCI corresponds to the radio network temporary identifier. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the radio network temporary identifier is employed by downlink pre-emption indication and uplink pre-emption indication. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising monitoring the common control channel for the radio network temporary identifier. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the second plurality of resources are employed for an ultra-reliable low-latency communication service. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein: the pre-emption indication configuration parameters indicate a plurality of frequency regions and time regions; and the second plurality of resources are based on one or more first frequency regions and one or more first time regions. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the group common DCI corresponds to the radio network temporary identifier. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the radio network temporary identifier is employed by downlink pre-emption indication and uplink pre-emption indication. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, further comprising monitoring the common control channel for the radio network temporary identifier. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first DCI indicates transmission parameters of the one or more uplink transport blocks. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein the second plurality of resources are employed for an ultra-reliable low-latency communication service.
