Joint activation of multiple semi-persistent scheduling configurations in a single message

A wireless communication device at a user equipment (UE) comprising:

• at least one modem;
• at least one processor communicatively coupled with the at least one modem;
• and
• at least one memory communicatively coupled with the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor in conjunction with the at least one modem, causes the wireless communication device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a single downlink control information (DCI) message identifying a plurality of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations to be jointly activated or released;
• determining, for each SPS configuration of the plurality of SPS configurations, a number of time slots between an end of the received DCI message and a beginning of one or more downlink (DL) data frames based on a first value carried in the DCI message;
• determining, for each SPS configuration of the plurality of SPS configurations, a number of time slots between an end of the one or more DL data frames and an instance in time at which the UE is to transmit a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) based on a second value carried in the DCI message, the end of the one or more DL data frames corresponding to an end of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception occasion, the determined instance in time corresponding to a start of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource;
• determining a time difference between the end of the PDSCH reception occasion and the start of the PUCCH resource;
• and
• performing an operation associated with a plurality of HARQ-ACKs corresponding to the plurality of SPS configurations based on a comparison of the time difference and a value.
