Methods and apparatus for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) downlink transmission

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a set of first downlink control information (DCI) on at least one control resource set (CORESET) for activating a set of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations, wherein each CORESET is configured with a CORESETPoolIndex, and each of the set of first DCI activates a corresponding one of the set of SPS configurations;
• transmit a set of second DCI on at least one first CORESET configured with a first CORESETPoolIndex, wherein each second DCI only deactivates first one or more SPS configurations of the set of SPS configurations activated by first one or more first DCI transmitted on one or more CORESETs configured with the first CORESETPoolIndex;
• transmit an SPS deactivation state list;
• and
• transmit an additional SPS deactivation state list, wherein each SPS deactivation state corresponding to an entry in the SPS deactivation state list includes a first at least one SPS configuration activated by a first at least one of the set of first DCI transmitted on one or more CORESETs configured with the first CORESETPoolIndex, and each SPS deactivation state corresponding to an entry in the additional SPS deactivation state list includes a second at least one SPS configuration activated by a second at least one of the set of first DCI transmitted on one or more CORESETs configured with a second CORESETPoolIndex.

A method performed by an apparatus, the method comprising:

• receiving a set of first downlink control information (DCI) on at least one control resource set (CORESET) for activating a set of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations, wherein each CORESET is configured with a CORESETPoolIndex, and each of the set of first DCI activates a corresponding one of the set of SPS configurations;
• receiving a set of second DCI on at least one first CORESET configured with a first CORESETPoolIndex, wherein each second DCI only deactivates first one or more SPS configurations of the set of SPS configurations activated by first one or more first DCI received on one or more CORESETs configured with the first CORESETPoolIndex;
• and
• receiving an SPS deactivation state list, wherein each SPS deactivation state corresponding to an entry in the SPS deactivation state list includes one or more SPS configurations,
• wherein a first subset of SPS configurations included in a first set of entries in the SPS deactivation state list are activated by a first subset of first DCI received on the one or more CORESETs configured with the first CORESETPoolIndex, and wherein a second subset of SPS configurations included in a second set of entries in the SPS deactivation state list are activated by a second subset of first DCI received on one or more CORESETs configured with a second CORESETPoolIndex.
