Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide supplemental uplink configuration for single downlink control information based multi-cell scheduling.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- determine a mode of operation associated with a configuration for single downlink control information (DCI) based multi-cell scheduling, wherein the mode of operation indicates a first number of cells for which SUL carriers are supported and a second number of cells with SUL carriers that are co-schedulable;
- generate a message that includes an indication of the determined mode of operation, the message to be transmitted to a base station, the determined mode of operation indicating the first number of cells for which SUL carriers are supported and the second number of cells with SUL carriers that are co-schedulable;
- and
- identify, from the base station, a DCI that indicates SUL carrier information for cells configured within a set to a user equipment (UE).

An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry to:
- generate a message that indicates a mode of operation for a supplemental uplink (SUL) configuration for single downlink control information (DCI) based multi-cell scheduling, the message for transmission to a base station, the mode of operation indicating a first number of cells for which SUL carriers are supported and a second number of cells with SUL carriers that are co-schedulable;
- identify, from the base station, a DCI that indicates an SUL carrier configuration to be implemented;
- and
- configure with the SUL carrier configuration for the single DCI based multi-cell scheduling;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled with the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry to transmit the message to the base station.

A method comprising:
- identifying, from a user equipment (UE), a message that indicates a mode of operation for a supplemental uplink (SUL) configuration for the UE for single downlink control information (DCI) based multi-cell scheduling, the mode of operation indicating a first number of cells for which SUL carriers are supported and a second number of cells with SUL carriers that are co-schedulable;
- determining an SUL carrier configuration for the UE based on the mode of operation;
- and
- generating a downlink control information (DCI) that indicates the SUL carrier configuration for transmission to the UE.
