Nesting configured grant—small data transfer occasions

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled with the one or more memories, configured to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration message that indicates a radio resource allocation and a transmission scheme for one or more first configured grant-small data transfer (CG-SDT) occasions associated with a first set of time resources and a first set of frequency resources and one or more second CG-SDT occasions, wherein the one or more second CG-SDT occasions are associated with at least one of:
• a second set of time resources that include at least a subset of the first set of time resources, or a second set of frequency resources that include at least a subset of the first set of frequency resources;
• and
• receive, from the UE, an uplink communication within the one or more first CG-SDT occasions or the one or more second CG-SDT occasions, using the radio resource allocation and the transmission scheme.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled with the one or more memories, configured to:
• receive, from a network entity, information indicating a radio resource allocation, a periodicity, a transmission scheme, and a resource size for a configured grant-small data transfer (CG-SDT) group including the UE;
• and
• receive, from the network entity, an index that indicates one or more first CG-SDT occasions, wherein the index is based at least in part on one or more frequency resources included in the one or more first CG-SDT occasions, one or more time resources included in the one or more first CG-SDT occasions, and one or more demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resources associated with the one or more first CG-SDT occasions.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled with the one or more memories, individually or collectively configured to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), information indicating a radio resource allocation, a periodicity, a transmission scheme, and a resource size for a configured grant-small data transfer (CG-SDT) group including the UE;
• and
• transmit, to the UE, an index that indicates one or more first CG-SDT occasions, wherein the index is based at least in part on one or more frequency resources included in the one or more first CG-SDT occasions, one or more time resources included in the one or more first CG-SDT occasions, and one or more demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resources associated with the one or more first CG-SDT occasions.
