Methods and apparatus to facilitate multiplexing wake-up signals with other resources

An apparatus for wireless communication at a User Equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive a first indication of a Wake-Up Signal (WUS) resource for a second UE;
• receive, prior to the WUS resource, a second indication indicating at least one of whether to puncture reception of a communication, whether to rate-match around the WUS resource, or a schedule of one or more resources that partially overlap the WUS resource;
• identify a conflict between a resource allocated to the UE and the WUS resource for the second UE based on the first indication;
• and
• modify the communication with a base station in the resource based on the second indication and in response to identifying the conflict.

A method of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• identifying a conflict between a resource for communication with a first User Equipment (UE) and a Wake-Up Signal (WUS) resource for a second UE;
• transmitting, prior to the WUS resource, an indication indicating at least one of whether to puncture reception of the communication, whether to rate-match around the WUS resource, or a schedule of one or more resources that at least partially overlap the WUS resource;
• and
• modifying the communication with the first UE in the resource based on the indication and in response to identifying the conflict.
