## Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine an offset value to be used to determine reference uplink resources associated with uplink cancellation indications; receive an uplink cancellation indication; and cancel an uplink communication in a set of reference uplink resources, wherein the set of reference uplink resources are determined based at least in part on the offset value and a time domain resource in which the uplink cancellation indication is received. Numerous other aspects are provided.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein an initial symbol of the set of reference uplink resources is offset from a logical symbol index of a last symbol of the uplink cancellation indication by a number of symbols that is equal to the uplink processing time of the UE plus the offset value.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the offset value is determined based at least in part on a timing advance value.
