Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for resource allocation for Grant-free Uplink (UL) transmissions, such as resource allocation via RRC signaling and Resource allocation via LI signaling, and for procedures associated with Grant-free UL transmission, such as for Grant-free operations with RRC signaling and Grant-free operations with PHY signaling.
Claims15
A user equipment apparatus (UE), comprising a processor, a memory, communication circuitry, and computer-executable instructions stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, cause the UE to:
- receive a first allocation, the first allocation pertaining to physical resources for grant-free access, the first allocation comprising a set of time resource configurations and a set of frequency resource configurations;
- determine, based at least in part on the first allocation, a second allocation, the second allocation being a physical resource configuration for a data packet transmission;
- send, at a first time and frequency resource of the second allocation, a data packet;
- and
- send, based upon a repetition indication, the data packet at one or more additional time and frequency resources of the second allocation.
