Determining processing time for high frequency range

A method, comprising:

• establishing, at a base station (BS), communication with a user equipment (UE);
• receiving, from the UE, an indication of UE processing capabilities for physical data channel communications, wherein the UE processing capabilities include a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing time, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) decoding time, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation time, and a channel state information (CSI) computation time;
• calculating, at the BS, a first time delay based on the PDSCH processing time in the indication received from the UE and an adjustment factor, wherein the adjustment factor is based on the PDCCH decoding time in the indication received from the UE;
• calculating, at the BS, a second time delay based on the PUSCH preparation time and the CSI computation time in the indication received from the UE;
• scheduling, at the BS, a first PDSCH transmission in a first downlink (DL) slot and a second PDSCH transmission in a second DL slot, wherein the second DL slot is separated from the first DL slot by at least the first time delay;
• and
• scheduling, at the BS, a first PUSCH transmission in a first uplink (UL) slot and a second PUSCH transmission in a second UL slot, wherein the second UL slot is separated from the first UL slot by at least the second time delay.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium (CRM) having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station (BS), cause the BS to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• establishing communication with a user equipment (UE);
• receiving, from the UE, an indication of UE processing capabilities for physical data channel communications, wherein the UE processing capabilities include a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing time, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) decoding time, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation time, and a channel state information (CSI) computation time;
• calculating a first time delay based on the PDSCH processing time in the indication received from the UE and an adjustment factor, wherein the adjustment factor is based on the PDCCH decoding time in the indication received from the UE;
• calculating a second time delay based on the PUSCH preparation time and the CSI computation time in the indication received from the UE;
• scheduling a first PDSCH transmission in a first downlink (DL) slot and a second PDSCH transmission in a second DL slot, wherein the second DL slot is separated from the first DL slot by at least the first time delay;
• and
• scheduling a first PUSCH transmission in a first uplink (UL) slot and a second PUSCH transmission in a second UL slot, wherein the second UL slot is separated from the first UL slot by at least the second time delay.
