Abstract
Wireless communications may comprise control information for scheduling transmission. Control information may indicate a scheduling mode for transmission based on at least one of a field and/or a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). The scheduling mode may comprise repetition of a single-transport block or transmission of different transport blocks.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) that:
- comprises information indicating a plurality of resource assignments associated with a plurality of different time durations for uplink transmission;
- and
- is scrambled with a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI);
- and
- transmitting one or more transport blocks (TBs) via the resource assignments and using a transmission mode that is selected based on a type of the RNTI, wherein for the selection of the transmission mode:
- a first type of RNTI is associated with a TB repetition transmission mode in which at least one repetition of a TB is transmitted;
- and
- a second type of RNTI is associated with a multi-TB transmission mode in which different TBs are transmitted
- wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting:
- a TB and one or more corresponding repetitions of the TB;
- or
- a plurality of different TBs.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the DCI indicates a plurality of resource assignments for a plurality of different physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) opportunities;
- selecting, based on a type of the RNTI, between:
- using the PUSCH opportunities for transmission of a single transport block (TB) repetition;
- or
- using the PUSCH opportunities for transmission of different TBS;
- and
- transmitting, via the PUSCH opportunities and based on the selecting:
- a first TB and one or more repetitions of the first TB;
- or
- a plurality of different TBs.
7 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) comprising an indication of a plurality of resource assignments for uplink transmission;
- determining, based on a field ina type of radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) used with the DCI, whether the resource assignments are to be used for transmitting TB repetitions, or for transmitting different TBs:
- a first type of RNTI is associated with a first scheduling mode for transmitting TB repetitions, and
- a second type of RNTI is associated with a second scheduling mode for transmitting different TBS;
- and
- transmitting via the plurality of resource assignments:
- a TB and one or more repetitions of the TB, based on the first scheduling mode;
- or
- a plurality of different TBs, based on the second scheduling mode.
