Resource allocation patterns for scheduling services in a wireless network

An apparatus for wireless communications, the apparatus comprising:

• one or more memories comprising computer executable code;
• and
• one or more processors configured to, individually or collectively, execute the computer executable code and cause the apparatus to:
• receive higher layer signaling, from a base station (BS), semi-statically configuring a plurality of resource allocation patterns at the apparatus, wherein each of the plurality of configured resource allocation patterns indicates a first one or more resources excluded for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communication with the BS;
• receive, from the BS, dynamic control signaling indicating at least one resource allocation pattern of the configured plurality of resource allocation patterns to use for communicating data with the BS;
• and
• communicate data with the BS based on the indicated at least one resource allocation pattern.

An apparatus for wireless communications, the apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving higher layer signaling, from a base station (BS), semi-statically configuring a plurality of resource allocation patterns at the apparatus, wherein each of the plurality of configured resource allocation patterns indicates a first one or more resources excluded for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communication with the BS;
• means for receiving, from the BS, dynamic control signaling indicating at least one resource allocation pattern of the configured plurality of resource allocation patterns to use for communicating data with the BS;
• and
• means for communicating data with the BS based on the indicated at least one resource allocation pattern.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

• receive higher layer signaling, from a base station (BS), semi-statically configuring a plurality of resource allocation patterns at the UE, wherein each of the plurality of configured resource allocation patterns indicates a first one or more resources excluded for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communication with the BS;
• receive, from the BS, dynamic control signaling indicating at least one resource allocation pattern of the configured plurality of resource allocation patterns to use for communicating data with the BS;
• and
• communicate data with the BS based on the indicated at least one resource allocation pattern.
