Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to partitioning slots in wireless communications into virtual mini-slots at least for the purpose of transmitting multiple feedback transmissions within the slot.
Claims34
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration for transmitting feedback for communications received in multiple virtual mini-slots of a slot, wherein the configuration is based on a partitioning of the slot into the multiple virtual mini-slots;
- transmitting, to the UE, a communication in one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots;
- receiving, from the UE, based on the configuration, and in a virtual mini-slot that is based on a last symbol of the communication with respect to the one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots over which feedback can be transmitted, feedback for the communication;
- transmitting, to the UE, a second communication in a second one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots;
- and
- receiving, from the UE, based on the configuration, and in a second virtual mini-slot that is based on a second last symbol of the second communication with respect to the second one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots over which feedback can be transmitted, second feedback for the second communication,
- wherein the second virtual mini-slot is different from the virtual mini-slot, and the second virtual mini-slot and the virtual mini-slot are within the same slot.
4 more elements
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
- transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration for transmitting feedback for communications received in multiple virtual mini-slots of a slot, wherein the configuration is based on a partitioning of the slot into the multiple virtual mini-slots;
- transmit, to the UE, a communication in one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots;
- receive, from the UE, based on the configuration, and in a virtual mini-slot that is based on a last symbol of the communication with respect to the one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots over which feedback can be transmitted, feedback for the communication;
- transmit, to the UE, a second communication in a second one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots;
- and
- receive, from the UE, based on the configuration, and in a second virtual mini-slot that is based on a second last symbol of the second communication with respect to the second one or more of the multiple virtual mini-slots over which feedback can be transmitted, second feedback for the second communication,
- wherein the second virtual mini-slot is different from the virtual mini-slot, and the second virtual mini-slot and the virtual mini-slot are within the same slot.
8 more elements
