Single transport block over multiple slots with discontinuous SLIVs

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:
• configure downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) symbols or a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) symbols with a single transport block that spans more than one slot and at least one gap between two adjacent PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols are contiguous and have a respective start and length indicator value (SLIV);
• and
• transmit the DCI to at least one user equipment (UE).

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that schedules a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) symbols or a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) symbols with a single transport block that spans more than one slot and at least one gap between two adjacent PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein each of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols are contiguous and have a respective start and length indicator value (SLIV);
• determining a rate matching sequence of the single transport block;
• and
• communicating with the base station based on a corresponding grant of the plurality of PDSCH symbols or PUSCH symbols, wherein communication with the base station is based on a schedule configured by the DCI.
