Physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission scheduling for new radio (NR)

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) comprising instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors is to cause a user equipment (UE) to:

• receive configuration information that is to schedule multiple consecutive physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions, wherein the multiple consecutive PUSCHs are scheduled by multiple UL grants, and the multiple consecutive PUSCHs include a first PUSCH transmission and a second PUSCH transmission scheduled subsequent to the first PUSCH transmission and with a same channel access priority class (CAPC) or a lower CAPC as the first PUSCH transmission;
• perform a CAT-4 listen-before-talk (LBT) operation before a start of the first PUSCH transmission;
• determine the LBT operation is not successful;
• continue the CAT-4 LBT subsequent to failure of the CAT-4 LBT failing before the first PUSCH transmission;
• and
• in response to determining the LBT operation is not successful, skip transmission of the PUSCH transmission.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) comprising instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors is to cause a user equipment (UE) to:

• receive configuration information that is to schedule multiple consecutive physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions;
• perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation before a start of a PUSCH transmission from the multiple scheduled PUSCH transmissions in the configuration information;
• determine the LBT operation is not successful;
• and
• in response to determining the LBT operation is not successful, skip transmission of the PUSCH transmission and apply a cyclic prefix (CP) extension associated with the PUSCH transmission to a subsequent PUSCH transmission from the multiple scheduled PUSCH transmissions.
